Simply going to a concert is not an indulgence to litter in the future.

Based on the evidence, it's an indulgence to litter right now.

My mistake earlier. So, the concert was solar powered. On the other hand, I’m fairly certain that all of the equipment used to manufacture all of the components were erf neutral and no/ZEEE-row carbon was emitted during their construction. Same for the transportation and clothing and every other accessory there? Ummm, prolly not.

Every time liberals get together they trash the place. So much for liberals being for the Earth or anything but dirty hippies.

I assume that most people have posted without reading or looking at the article. It clearly shows that these people tried to get their trash into a tiny number of trash cans (put out by the Park Service, I assume) and did the best they could by putting their trash around the overflowing trash cans.

While I dislike lefties as much as anybody else, this is ridiculous. The Park Service needs to put out more trash cans. We had the same problem at a park in NYC that I used to go to regularly. One 4th of July, after the park had been made safe by knife-wielding Dominicans (people from the Dominican Republic, not monks!), everybody went out there for the 4th and there were huge mounds of trash...around the two or three trash cans the city had put out there.

We all complained and the next year, we actually had dumpsters! Which is what is needed. So it’s not the fault of the leftists, but the fault of an underfunded Park Department, since Obama hates anything that reeks of America.

The Tea Party folks brought their own trash bags. They did not have to be told to do this, they knew there would be a need.

But the leftists meant well!

Just like Hypocritico DiCaprio buzzing around the world in his private jet telling others how to scale back their energy use.

The absolute worst mess on the mall was inauguration day, 2009. It was worse than Woodstock.

Yes heartless Tea Party members left the park cleaner than when they arrived. The results: Joblessness. Yes joblessness. The cleaning crews who work to keep the place clean had nothing to do. Remember they have children to feed. Think about the children, and some have puppies, sad eyed little puppies. Some have little kittens. Can you imagine a sad eyed kitten going without milk.

Isn’t this always the case when you have a mass gathering of lefties? Biggest hypocrites in addition to being the biggest slobs anywhere.

You just don't understand, they were simply doing their part to insure the continued employment of all the sanitation workers in the area, after all if they cleaned up after themselves there would be less work, wouldn't there? No, you're right they're just filthy pigs.

Actually it’s pictured NEAR the trash cans, unless that’s after the park workers cleaned up.

Like the author said there has been lousy planning by the trash people to have the trash removed

If they didn’t have a band and entertainment NO ONE would show up... Here’s what the crowd believes in: free entertainment.

Did George Soros pay for this? If he did he should damn well pay to clean up too.

Was it really solar powered or is that just BS. In college they had a “solar powered” concert on one of those towable stage trailers with hydraulic roof that had solar panels installed on it. They also had a rather large trailarized diesel generator parked behind said stage.

Please stop making excuses for these people; I was there yesterday to view the Veteran’s Memorials. The lefties were exceptionally rude, as usual. There were trash cans all over the place. I’m an old guy, and when I travel to a national park I carry out ALL the trash I bring in or create, as I did yesterday. There is absolutely no excuse for these people nor anyone else not to carry out their own trash.

I spent 9 years in the WDC area (1996 - 2004), and went to many events on the Mall.

Without fail, after EVERY LIEberal event, the Mall was TRASHED!

Without fail, after EVERY CONSERVATIVE event, the Mall was cleaner than we found it.

LIEberals are HYPOCRITES!

LIEBERALS DO NOT PICK UP THEIR TRASH!

LIEBERALS ARE “TOO GOOD” TO DO MANUAL LABOR!

LIEBERALS ARE PIGS!

ASK ME IF I HATE LIEBERALS!
