In Trump's America you are not only not allowed to peacefully protest you don't have the right to free speech.
This should have been removed 40 years ago.
What an eye sore.
Backlash is probably like "It looks perfect to me!"
Sorry... Washington DC is finally getting cleaned up. It's been a 3rd world hell hole for 40+ years.. it's about time someone cared about the normal citizens of the city.

The fact that the dude who was living there justified it not being a homeless shelter because he didn't have a bed there says it all.
I'm gonna go ahead and guess that well over 99% of people living on the streets don't sleep on a bed.
Back is so fucking dumb that he actually buys the story that if someone doesn't sleep on a bed it means they aren't homeless.
The only thing of that kind that I can get behind, if it was still there, was the tent near the Vietnam Memorial that had some veteran volunteers there to help others out like providing them help to get to and from the memorial, water, some support for grief and helping others get veterans benefits. They also provided informal security. much like the old Jewish men that hang around the Holocaust Memorial. I haven't been there since 2003 so I don't know if it's still there.
