RE: "Did anyone in the crowd get riled up over those disgusting signs?"

Yes some did, but no one accosted, verbally or physically, the assholes in that pic blocking THE ONLY pathway for a couple hundred yards in a massive crowd of folks on the move. Some confronted the assholes asking them politely &/or curtly to allow people to pass. The vast majority of folks were riled about the disgusting signs & their rude behavior, but expressed it in a quite appropriate manner. IOW, the MSM would have been sorely disappointed.

Interesting story. As you can see from the picture, Dave & I weren't too far from them. We were stuck where I took the pic for 15 minutes. I finally told Dave to let go of the wheelchair. I began to push my way up to them assholes with the full intention of wheeling right up to them one at a time & asking them to allow me to pass. And if they didn't move after several polite admonishments that I had a right to freely pass through I intended to just push forward slowly until I pushed them out of the way.

As I made my way I told the folks what my intentions were & they gladly moved aside to move forward. Then one guy got in front of me & began shouting please move, we have a guy in a wheelchair coming through. That sped things up a lot.

When we got about 10 feet from them the folks surrounding them finally got them to move aside.

DRATS!!!
