Occupy storms closed memorial, rips fences down..marches to WH [View all]

and tosses them at the White House...demands that Obama add back funding for poor kids..

Oh Wait.. That never happened

BUT

Imagine long lines of police with pepper spray and batons if it HAD..

Republican legislators & provocateurs KNOW they are always safe and guaranteed media if they hide behind misguided vets of their party..
