So the big news this weekend was the pro-defeat anti-war rally at the US Capital.  So how did it turn out?? Let's go down the list…

• Genuine traitor Hanoi Jane    Check!
• Vandalizing private property    Check!
• Vandalizing military property    Check!
• Signs promoting violence, terrorism, anti-americanism, and general insanity    Check!
• Spitting on veterans (even though that's just a myth right?)    Check!
• Defacing public property (such as the fucking capital itself)    Check!

Excellent…looks like the 60s style protest is back in style.

Of course, you would have thought that with our modern tactics and equipment, the police could protect the capital building.  Of course, I forget that thanks to political correctness we no longer have the backbone to promote public order.

Anti-war protesters were allowed to spray paint on part of the west front steps of the United States Capitol building after police were ordered to break their security line by their leadership, two sources told The Hill.

According to the sources, police officers were livid when they were told to fall back by U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) Chief Phillip Morse and Deputy Chief Daniel Nichols.  "They were the commanders on the scene," one source said, who requested anonymity. "It was disgusting."

Ok here's a question for the parents out there.  You have an unruly child, who is acting up.  If despite having voiced your disapproval in the past, if you relent and let them get away with it, what have you taught them??? … … … Exactly.  If these losers activists know there is no negative consequences for their actions, what is their motivation for not doing it again, or worse??

Morse responded to these claims in an e-mail Sunday afternoon explaining that the protesters were seeking confrontation with the police.

And what is wrong with confronting them?  Might I remind you that they buy you groovy stuff like tear gas, tasers, mace, etc for a reason.  And might I also remind you that part of the job of being police is to confront people breaking the law.

He added, "It is the USCP's duty and responsibility to protect the Capitol complex, staff and public while allowing the public to exercise their First Amendment rights … at the end of the day, both occurred without injury to protestors or officers."

And you failed miserably at your duty.  The capital complex was not protected, it was violated and vandalized.  The disorder and chaos endangers the public.  And the staff were put in danger by allowing violent protesters to breach barriers placed there for the protection of those inside.  The assholes protesters "First Amendment" rights do not cover breaking the law, they went BEYOND their rights….well into the category of where you should let your officers do their job.

I don't blame the officers on the scene.  They followed the orders of their superiors.  I blame Chief Phillip Morse and Deputy Chief Daniel Nichols.  You owe every American an apology, and preferably your resignation. 

I also blame this belief that has apparently spread across Washington DC that convinces people are all levels of government that somehow letting people break the law without penalty will lead to good things.  This protest is one example.  Illegal aliens are another.  Leakers within our national security infrastructure is another.  Where did this belief come from and why do so many buy into it.  Are we that blind to reality and common sense?

Do we honestly believe that if we just ignore something it'll go away?? Did the Cold War and 9/11 teach us nothing??
