So I guess that I’m so old and out of touch that I find this pretty disgraceful.

Has been in existence since at least 2013, so no surprise to park police. The majority of participants just went for the sunrise but as always there are those who consume too much.

WaPo updated its story with responses from GU:
Georgetown University, which held its college graduation Saturday and whose undergraduates annually gather for a sunrise celebration at the nearby memorial on commencement day, said through a spokesperson, “We are monitoring the concerning and disappointing activity at the Lincoln Memorial.”
The spokesperson added, “While Georgetown is one of several institutions celebrating graduation ceremonies this weekend, we have had no University-sponsored events at or around the Lincoln Memorial. We expect all members of our community to be responsible citizens of our campus and our city and be respectful of the history and institutions of Washington, D.C.”

The news totally blew this out of proportion. Was a totally tame gathering of students and the police rushed students out for seemingly no reason whatsoever. One bottle accidentally broke and that was all. Police were really out to get students on this one.

One bottle accidentally broke and that was all. Police were really out to get students on this one. Since it blew up in right wing media first, I was skeptical of the initial reports. However, I think they were preparing for the Lincoln Memorial Centennial ceremonies so that may be the reason the Park Police hustled the students out of there, perhaps. |
