In terms of what’s happening at the White House right now, the timing for mass protests couldn’t be more perfect. They’re doing a big construction project on the White House fence, so the entire street is shut down. Normally you can walk up to within five feet of the fence, but there’s been a 25 yard no mans land between Lafayette Square park and the fence for the past couple of months for extra security during the project and construction staging. It essentially doubles the distance between people and the White House itself with a big fence at the halfway point.
I’m tempted to head down there while it’s still daylight to see what’s happening today, but I don’t want to either get hurt, get coofed on, or get scooped up in some mass arrest if things go really pear shaped.
