Oh, To Have Been There

[Ozarks Tom]

The hallowed document that over time set billions of people free from slavery and serfdom, brought capitalism and the recognition of human rights to the world, was desecrated by "climate activists".

And yes, oh to have been there.  The police wouldn't have needed handcuffs, just respirators while waiting for the ambulance.

Law enforcement quickly apprehended two protesters on Wednesday for dumping a red powder substance on the display containing the actual United States Constitution.

Video shows that at approximately 2:30 p.m., two protesters stormed up to the display of the U.S. Constitution at the National Archives in Washington, D.C., and dumped a red powder substance on themselves and the Constitution display. The red substance presumably symbolzed blood, because climate protesters believe there is a climate emergency and humanity is doomed to die.

Oh for goodness sakes. I'm waiting to hear they were all convicted...

Maybe we need to have Marines guard the Constitution, rather than Capitol Police.

The original paper Constitution is a historical document and should be protected. But the paper is no good if Americans aren't willing to protect the principles that are laid out on that document. What good is paper if we aren't standing up for what is right?

Jolly , Gotta jump in and disagree respectfully.

Speaking from yearly help from the Capitol Police THE CAPITOL POLICE ARE GREAT. They use bikes, running along-side, motorcycles and on. They stay with us watching our perimeter (huge).


DH and I lead the Eucharistic procession at issue from St.Peter's Capitol Hill, and go the Union Square for the event facing the Capitol and at the gazing pondwith hundreds of religous followers of all ages/kids/babies in strollers and very violent pro-aborts trying to hurt us. Really tried to hurt us this last October 7. 

According to what we see each year, they carefully evaluate the real threat 1st and foremost.

Both those idiots had extended pockets (was there a weapon? Sure looked like there could be.)

Both looked "on something" and scared which is a huge red flag (no pun intended)

Observe the incredibly laid back way the women Capitol Police walked slowly away (no one's life is worth the Declaration being saved)

Yes the actual "in-charge" CPs walked up slowly and carefully and took over. 

The amount of crazies in DC is beyond the pale. Also beyond imagining. We see the most disgusting, scary (think masked, bodily perforations everywhere, indecent) acts ongoing all the the National Mall while school children are present and watching. 

Nuff said but I would put myself in the hands of the Capitol police and the DC POLICE who also guard us each year when we go past the "Capitol grounds" and continue on to the National Mall placement over any big city police.

I wouldn't put myself in the hands of any police of any kind at this point.
(who was it that was involved in the Jan 6 debacle? who moved barricades and opened doors and escorted folks around in the building? I trust none of them enough to put any kind of trust in them any longer.)
YMMV

Watched this happen on FOX-2 idiots standing there w/pink powder all over & yelling some nonsense. Security guards standing w/them...don't know the 'bail laws' there but prolly they'll be out on the street in ah hour making more powder.

PS-Of course there's heavy glass protecting the document.

Sounds like terrorism to me.....they need to visit GITMO for a few decades....Joe

EVERYTHING has been 'terrorism' since September 11, 2001. They throw that term around entirely too much these days.
