So two wrongs make a right then? "Their piles of garbage were a little bigger so there is nothing wrong with our piles of garbage".

Nah, didn't say that. I hate trash. But it's ironic that Breitbart reports about this, but doesn't report about all the other times people leave their trash behind.

 

Hmm...I wonder why?

Not sure that is an effective use if "two wrongs (don't) make a right"

Give me a break. Most of them were bussed in by George Soros backed groups and couldn't even tell you why they were there if you asked them. By the way I wouldn't call leaving piles of trash all over the place orderly. They could have at least taken their signs and other trash with them and disposed of it the right way. 

800,000 protesters and you are freaked by what looks like 100 pieces of garbage.  One sign per 8,000.  I live in a nice town of 22,000 and I have to pick up garbage in front of my house every day. I know some of the kids that went downtown to protest from our town.  They are more likely to be the kids picking up trash rather than leave it.

Oh sorry that is from a tea party demonstration.

It’s not like that. Whenever there is such a huge crowd or parade that lasts for hours, trash would be there. It’s a common sense. If somebody has a problem, then they need to talk about all sort of gatherings which leave tons of trash once it’s over, including Macys thanksgiving parade, presidential inauguration, July 4 fireworks , Times Square ball drop and the list goes on.

Am I the only one who thinks the things coming out of Hoag’s mouth are way too mature for a 17 year old kid?  Almost as if he’s being coached...

  Pass that sentiment along to Wayne Lapierre if you have time. Might do some good.

Guilty till proven otherwise? Interesting how some people always get the benefit of the doubt, while others are not?

Your words are nonsense to me, sorry.  I am only talking about one of the focal points of this “kid revolution”.  I have known a LOT of 17 yr old boys.  Not one of them could say the things he says in the same fashion.  Not holding it against him, he’s just a pawn in the whole game.  But it’s obvious.

And ignoring the broader implications of an entire generation energized to civic involvement around an idea and responds with peaceful and orderly protesting, even more telling.

An entire generation?  Hyperbole?  I find it hard to believe that every member of this generation agrees with the fraction of it that trashed Washington (and most likely other cities) this weekend.  Btw, are you certain Churchill said that?

How does his credibility suffer with his stance about clear backpacks violating the 1st Amendment?

I'm pretty sure this is a problem with pretty much any large scale "March" in pretty much any city.

 

Kuddos for Brietbart going around finding the best trash cans/piles of signs to point it out since they are so uncomfortable with the focus of this March, but I'm absolutely certain this happens with every event no matter what the content.

 

Heck I even saw tons of trash after the Houston Marathon, which was significantly smaller (Though obviously it lacked the signs).

You got me, Churchill did not say that.

If you had read to the bottom of the story as someone suggested you would see that they do mention other "protests/gatherings" where the responsibility of cleaning up afterward seems to be lost.  Interesting that it seems to occur mostly with Soros led MDL gatherings.

So no comment on the first questions?  Is that confirmation?

Source for that? Evidence? Or that just a random made up claim?

 

Cleaning up after large events is always a mess, and I always see trash. I used to live in Portland Oregon and even just after the Rose Parade there would be trash everywhere. Heck the Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City is also always full of trash afterwards. 

 

A city's infrastructure isn't set up to allow 800,000 people all out on the street at once to easily "clean up after themselves". Stop pretending it only happens at "certain kinds of gatherings", your insecurities are showing.
