'Gestapo' tactics meet senior citizens at Yellowstone

[Glocktogo]

And somebody needs to study the Gestapo a little before drawing parallels.

Yes, this was an embarrassing event. If it was done for show, it didn't make the decision maker look good. Not real sure at what level the decision was made, but it's bound to be Obama's fault because everything else is.

Exactly. This would be more correctly correlated to the pre-war Sturmabteilung than the Gestapo or SS.

Where did they get the money to pay the JBT's if the government has no money to keep the parks and memorials open?

And why cant they pick up some trash, or otherwise compensate for the lack of regular staff instead of cracking the whip on some senior citizens?

The public is starting to get fed up and push back in small ways. Not only are the vets still going to see the memorial but several small businesses ordered closed are reopening and I have heard of other small protest against the Shutdown Theater.

The "facilities" might be closed, but state highways go through - closing them would be sort of like closing I-44 where it bisects Fort Sill, for instance - though I certainly wouldn't put it past the petulant child we have in the White House.

They closed a state highway through Grand Canyon national park because people were ignoring the orange cones at scenic pull offs and stopping to look. They have also closed the foothills parkway at Great Smokey Mountains national park.

How petty and chickensh*t.

If I wasn't so damn busy with my SEMA project, I would be out there fighting the man by taking down barricades. We will not be held prisoner by 535 people.

They have also done the same with pullouts where you can see mount rushmore, I would expect them to try closing state highways in that park.

They should spend billions of taxpayer dollars making a giant tarp to hang over Rushmore, the Washington Monument, etc.
