    What parks were being vandalized?


    What about the barricades that were placed around memorials in D.C., the ones that were picked up and carried off by disabled veterans, you really believe those were placed there to prevent vandalism? Sorry but that's a load of crap and you know it. I suppose you expect that vandals were just going to walk up to a little 3-4 ft barrier and say "oh darn, the memorial is closed, guess I'll have to find something else to vandalize." Those barriers weren't there to stop vandals.

    Let me google that for you

    Is it really more difficult to understand the situations than it is to find reasons to be pissed off all the time?

    I already googled it, did you even look at the dates or read any of the stories that your little search provides or did you just see park, vandalized and shutdown in the same sentence and run with it? 2 stories from Oct of this year, some locks cut off gates and a parking pay box blow torched. That's it, oh and a "possible" third one of a rock formation being knocked over. Try again.

    Would you like to explain the memorial barricades in D.C. or are you just going to gloss over that again?

    He is a programmed sheep. He lacks the ability to think for himself or come to a rational conclusion. If he was capable of logic or rationality, he wouldnt be the bleeding heart liberal that he is.

    Of course blank would view them removing the barricades that Obama had placed there as "vandalizing".....

    Parks vandalized during the shutdown, simple google search proved it. That's the end of that

    What is there to explain? You're not allowed into the park if it's closed. I don't see what the issue is or what you're not understanding?

    Operating Hours & Seasons

    The public may visit the World War II Memorial 24 hours a day. Rangers are on duty to answer questions from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. daily and to provide interpretive programs every hour on the hour from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m.
    Do they erect barriers every evening to prevent vandals from getting in overnight when the memorial is not staffed? No, they don't. The WWII memorial in DC is an open air memorial that is accessible to the public 24 hrs a day, It never closes, even when it is not staffed. The premise that the memorial needed to be closed to prevent vandals from defacing it is absurd, it is accessible to anyone at all daily from 11:30 p.m. to 9:30 a.m. with no staff on site to "protect" it, and somehow it doesn't get vandalized every night. Funny that. The closing of open air freely accessible memorials and monuments was nothing more than a political move of the federal gov't flexing it's muscle when it didn't get it's way and fueling the narrative against republicans for causing the shutdown. All of it was a show, from both sides, and one side came out looking better than the other because of media coverage and the ability to use the bully pulpit to get it's way.

    You will defy all logic and disregard reality to maintain your support of Obama. You do this because you want to. You want to like Obama so bad that reality escapes you.

    I posted pictures of the park during the protests, people kept the parks clean, they made sure of it.......... the liberal media would have swarmed like the vultures if they didnt. Every time a bunch of uneducated freeloading Obamacrats get together they ravage whatever place theyre inhabiting though.

    What does any of this have to do with my support of Obama or lack thereof?
    Are you suggesting parks didnt get vandalized during the shutdown, despite evidence to the contrary?

    The parks didnt get vandalized. You're calling the removal of the barricades vandalizing, because you're a delusional douche. Most national parks are maintained by civilian contractors.

    You're reaching so hard to try and paint a group of veterans as vandals but if this were a bunch of ghetto ass thug obama supporters rioting and leaving shit all over the place you would ignore it. You want to see vandals.... google all the Obamacrats who raided the walmarts when EBT went down. Its your side that lacks dignity and respect for their country. These Obamacrats are like parasites, they just feed off society until there's nothing left with no disregard for their negative impact and no gratitude for the American tax payer who supports them.

    You saying that veterans vandalized their own memorials is possibly the dumbest shit you've ever said and you've said some really dumb shit in your day.
