It was. It's on their website.

We live in Burlieth. Gerogetown students trashed our neighborhood. There is discarded furniture EVERYWHERE on the sidewalks, curbs, and alleys this morning.

Are you new to the neighborhood? They always do this, and GTown sends their trucks around for bulk pick up. Great opportunity to clean out your house too!

DP, it is certainly a consensus top 25 school. And certain programs are definitely top 10 and top 3, like International Relations and Foreign Service.

It’s a national monument and symbolically very important in this nation, not your local neighborhood. And for them to need to close it, it would have to be more than a few wine bottles lying around.

They will have security feeds. I hope the students are held accountable. Preferably by Georgetown, which shoukd be appalled their students did this.

But— where was the NPS while this was happening? It’s also appalling that there was no security at. The LM

My guess is the NPS budget was cut by those who want to use national parks in “different ways.”

No, they should take advantage of the free bulk trash pickup since they have to live with those aholes.

Such irony.

There is one poster that trashes GU any chance he/she gets. The fact of the matter is that post-graduation college celebrations involve a lot of booze and a lot of a trash no matter where the University is located.

This was very mild to the destruction that happened in the college town where my University was located.

Some trash and broken bottles---have you ever been to the National Mall after a 4th of July Celebration?

Now if they had spray painted Lincoln or the steps I would agree with you. This was broken bottles. You can't even walk down parts of DC or NYC in the middle of the day without stepping around those.

I suggest you come to Clarendon on a Sunday morning and see what the JMU, Tech and UVA students leave behind in their all night partying---and these are post-college professionals.

NP. Look - you don't like it when people trash GU. Fair enough. But then you turn right around and trash three VA state schools? Based on a bunch of anonymous people partying in *Clarendon* of all places? Spare us all. You have no leg to stand on here.

I have not seen one post championing the Jan 6 riot. Both can be wrong, trying to act like it's not and invoking JMU, Tech and UVA into the mix is very strange.

Exactly. The PP's post is one strawman after another.

And it took the maintenance staff less than an hour to clean up -- the word "trash" was taken way out of context; they didn't trash the memorial, there was some trash left behind. They should have carried it out with them like good scouts, but they didn't "trash the Lincoln Memorial."

They could not even be bothered to clean up their own gross mess and left it for someone else to deal with. Lazy, immature, self centered, trashy behavior.

They are just young republicans following their leaders example. At least they did not defecate in the memorial like the Jan 6 the crowd. I guess they can work their way up to that.

Let the maintenance staff do their jobs, i.e. clean up after ahole grads

You sound like a peach
