Protestors paint on Capitol

What the hell. I mean its bad enough they let them get so close, and even worse that nobody got arrested.

Protesting is a Constitutionally guaranteed right -- but defacing or destruction of property goes over the line in my mind.

I've seen protesters arrested for much less in the past.

I understand why the cops are frustrated.

I agree. From first hand experience I can tell you that people who work in and around the Capitol are very protective of it, and for reasons other than their employment. My mother compared this frustration to the feelings of the border control and national guard along the border, which I found pretty true.

The graffiti was easily removed by the dedicated staff, some of whom responded on their day off to quickly clean the area.
Easy or not I’m glad someone had their priorities straight.

:::yawn:::

Why did their leader tell them to fall back? That's pretty damned stupid.

I'm just really tired of these people. Protesting is one thing, but defacing a building is just ridiculous.

Protesting is allowed, but defacing "OUR" property?

Yes, our property paid for by all Americans and those who died protecting us.

It is one of the main symbols of America.

I am agast that these people were allowed to do this and not be confronted and arrested.
