| Quick, someone inform the NPS that my local neighborhood is unsafe. |
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 |
| The University should hold them accountable. ithhold the diplomas and make them provide 20 hours each of community service to the national park service or the district in the form of trash pick up. |
| Release the pearls!! |
| This is horrible. And I saw that it’s the 100th year anniversary of the Lincoln Memorial this weekend. |
I bet you were there chugging Pinot Grigio with your spawn weren't you, how was it? |
My local property is part of the Mount Vernon Estate. But I understand George has fallen out of favor. |
What's your point? |
| Rude and entitled. Georgetown needs to pay for the clean-up. |
Another bitter person. What is it with the pearls jealousy on this board? Go to Mikimoto and solve your baggage. |
| Shouldn't a permit to use the National Parks require you to clean up? The school should be responsible for this work. And perhaps the permit should ban glass and ban any drinks at all on the marble portions. |
+1. Also when did Georgetown start doing graduations at the Lincoln Memorial? I graduated on Healy Lawn. |
I’m not sure why you feel it needs to be said, but here’s your cookie: if GW students go to Mt. Vernon and party so hard that the estate has to be closed to the public, that is also unacceptable. If My Vernon is regularly littered with so many bottles any broken bottles and alcohol and probably bodily fluids that it is unsafe, someone at the NPS shhould be fired. Speaking of which, on the week of the 100th anniversary of the Lincoln Memorial, how could a party get that out of hand with security putting a stop too it? If NPS didn’t notice a mob of drunk college kids ,how do we expect them to stop the guy who put a backpack with a pipe bomb against a wall in the rotunda? |
It may have been a frat, sorority or other group of kids who had an unstactioned after party. |
