[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad to see it end.  I'm tired of them grid locking the city every Memorial day! It feels like a hostile take over.[/quote]

You don't like that vets are in DC on memorial weekend.

That is so DCUM of you.[/quote]

I have no problem with Vets having an event in DC on Memorial day.  But the nuisance of rolling thunder lasts the entire weekend, is loud, and they are RUDE on the road.  Weaving through traffic like laws don't apply to them, blocking lanes to normal through traffic, and yes causing grid lock in the city throughout the weekend.  Because they aren't just gathering one day, it's all weekend long.

I support their cause, I agree the Vietnam vets got screwed and it's our country's shame.  But I'm still glad to see Rolling Thunder leave.  Demonstrations in ALL BLUE DC make no sense.  Demonstrate at home, where their Red state senators are voting to cut funding to the VA.  Much more impact there.  [/quote]

1. Not very biker is rude not he road. That's a generalization. How do they both weave in and out AND block lanes to normal traffic? They are normal traffic. 
2. You live in the nation's capital: a major metropolitan area. Events happen here. The city gets crowded. People arrive in droves. I mean, what do you think is goin g to happen the  you live inWASHINGTON DC?! These things are the price of living here and not in Vienna or Bethesda.
3. They are not protesting what you think they are protesting. Heck. It is NOT EVEN A PROTEST. It is an awareness ride for MIAs and POWs.
4. basically every sentence of your post is ill-informed and ill-conceived.[/quote]
