A crowd of demonstrators converge upon U.S. government property closed to the public. The demonstrators know that they are prohibited from entering the property. Nonetheless, they push through the metal barricades, chanting, “Tear down these walls.”
That incident occurred yesterday at the World War II Memorial on the National Mall.
Not confining their protest to the World War II Memorial, some of the protesters then picked up the government’s metal barricades and carried them blocks away to the White House, where the barricades were deposited outside the gates.
Television recorded police struggling to keep the protesters away from the White House fence. No arrests were made.
Now, let’s see if I have this straight: If a group of people decide they don’t like the closing of facilities under the federal government shutdown, they are now empowered to take wire cutters to the locks, push aside barriers and go in and about on their merry way without fear of arrest?

Where are the arrests of the morons who put up the barricades in the first place? No. 1 perp: The Won hisself.
Ahhhhhh! You read my tagline!
Good ole Colbert King. Still wanting to keep “them white folk” out of the “White House”, even on tours.
Love the ingrained racism of WaPost’s two black leftist columnists, King and Eugene Robinson. So much “brotherly love” eminating from them, like radiation from a Fukeshima reactor. One problem, they left out some of that “brother” stuff.
Got news for you Colbert. Blacks fought very well in WW1, WW2, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. They should NEVER be barred from any war memorial, nor should any other American servicemen or women. This also included the many foreign citizens who joined our Armed Services to fight and earn their US citizenship.
The second American soldier I met in Vietnam was a Honduran who wanted to become a U.S. citizen. And there was that very brave black US Army Military Advisor I met out in the Wild West area of Chau Duc Province along the Cambodian border, in a mortar pit at the bottom of Chau Phu Mountain (after an airstrike hit a VC cave).
If you weren’t there, STFU! Our men and women earned the right to be in any US park int he country, esp. the WW2 and Vietnam memorial parks.
Not a hard choice.
Armchair Marxists are ‘brave’ when manipulating others into battle.
Their favorite Marxist game (per Alinsky) is called ‘Let’s you and him fight.’
This is why Marxists rarely attain power over a population. Because they are cowards and refuse to get their hands dirty fighting the ground war. Thus, they rely on dupes aka ‘useful idiots’ along with paid mercenaries.
Dang I wanted to do the FU acronym thing to Colbert King but it didn't work out.
I would say the veterans deserve at least the same use of the First Amendment as the OWE’s enjoyed, while they used public spaces for a toilet and licentious performances, including alleged rape.
I think the writer is upset because a few AMERICANS are finally standing up to an illegal government.
Holy guano Batman, are the sheep [finally] looking up?
Exactly...This guy is a black racist on the order of the New Black Pathers, the only difference is he has a job as an opinion writer.
Arrest veterans for attending an open air memorial that they paid for with their own private money? Go ahead and try Aholes.
The gummint was wrong, they knew it and I'm willing to guess the order was, if no one starts a fight, let it go.
And of course Colbert had to be one of Holder’s People.
