If the Media gave that Protest as much air time as say, Trayvon, there would be a major shift in Public Opinion.
Sadly, it isn’t meant to be. Instead the News reports are of one guy with a Confederate Flag showing up and another guy spouting off about Revolution in front of the camera.
The Veterans who were there are being ignored. My Country should be ashamed of the people who they trust to run our Government and those who only report what fits their agenda.

Later in the morning there was an Honor Flight of WWII vets coming to see the memorial. I don’t know all the facts surrounding this but their bus was not allowed to drive up to the memorial; it was stopped about 50 yards away. It appeared to me that this was at the direction of the police.
In any case these national heros had to be wheeled up to the memorial where they were greeted by two rows of an impromtu welcoming committee. You’ve probably seen this on the news (if you watch Fox).
The point I’m trying to make is that after all their sacrifices, why wasn’t the bus allowed to pull up to the WWII memorial? Isn’t that the least a grateful country should do for them?
By contrast, earlier in the week the government made sure that the illegals gathered on the National Mall had every convenience. Just sayin....
