The story made it to the top of the board at the Daily Mail across the pond.

How did they know he wasn’t an undocumented Spanish Speaker?

because he didn’t have an ear-blasting leaf blower with him.

And we pay high wages to park employees to do this. Just proof that we could reduce the number of park workers and things would still get done.

If he responded in spanish, the police would probably have allowed him to continue mowing.

A grassroots effort -- More of a "top down" effort.

If the government were really closed we could enjoy OUR memorials, parks, and monuments because there'd be no one to kick us out.
It's past time to be thoroughly disgusted with park rangers.

With U.S. Park Service employees on furlough, a South Carolina man took it upon himself on Wednesday to mow a lawn near the Lincoln Memorial. SC ping!

Proof positive that we cannot even trust the feds to keep our grass mowed.

I’m told he’s a FReeper. I wish I could join him, but I’m busy with three yungins including a newborn. I’d love to grab my gardening gloves and take a road trip to D.C. What a great experience to tell my kids!

Who wants to bet that within a year park rangers will have their own swat teams ... and cheap thug swaggers...
