Armed private security guards are on the job to keep the public away from Philadelphias Independence Hall, and one even threatened to arrest a political activist if he stepped on the sidewalk beside the iconic building where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were debated and adopted.
You will be arrested, said one of the hired guards to activist Craig Bergman as a video team filmed his stop at the downtown historical center.
In the video, Bergman asks a National Park Service ranger who was paying for the rented cops, and was told, You are. The badge on the private guards read SecTec, a Virginia-based security company that operates around the nation. A source said that SecTec often is used for the Hall's security. Their webpage includes Independence Hall as a client.

When I was a boy, you know what Park Rangers were? They were amiable people with higher-than-average interest in camping who paid higher attention to your fire safety than you did, maybe.
And sometimes you paid them for your tent site.
TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
TOTALLY DISAPPOINTED.
I WILL NEVER LOOK AT THEM THE SAME.

Most rent-a-cops are bullies that always wanted to be cops and could not get hired, or got fired. A few exceptions, but darn few. I also wonder where the money is coming from to pay them, I am sure the taxpayers are paying more to have these areas closed than it would cost to keep them open.
Right now - we need to IMPEACH OBAMA — then throw out everything that corrupt dictator set in motion over the last 6 yrs....this is pathetic!
Whoa. We’re not in Jellystone Park, anymore, Yogi :(
Mass civil disobedience is very powerful, and got tyrant Morsi out of office in Cairo and in India it got the Brits out of their country.
He’s reaching to turn down (or up) the volume on his radio, if you watch the video.
I think these are Hessian mercenaries.

Turns out, “Independence” is a misnomer. If our Forefathers could see that the Liberty Bell is being held hostage by our Marxist occupied gov’t, they’d be firing cannon balls by now.

The “Reporter” is a wuss.
He should have announced he was going to exercise his First Amendment Rights to speak about the shutdown from a site that was shut down, walk across the street, and start making a speech.
Come ON Folks. This is where they stomp on you a little bit, and we’re going to do nothing?
Maybe so, but it looks to me like the dickhead has his other hand on his gun.
What’s this mean?

0’s brown shirts. Farmed out to the private sector.
Bergman asks a National Park Service ranger who was paying for the rented cops, and was told, You are.
Bergman then look at him and said good,”your fired”.
Does it mean someone like ValJar owns it? Or, Fauxchahontas?
It was founded by a minority, who was probably a front for some corrupt money.
If I were there, I’d look at him politely, ask him if his company actually gave them any real training, and tell him that if he isn’t expecting to actually shoot someone, he should get his hand off his gun.
