Park Police Try to Shut Down Mount Vernon
..........................................................................................
Stephen Gutowski's Twitter Feed (@collegepolitico) ^ | 2 October 2013


Stephen Gutowski (@collegepolitico) reported on Twitter the Park Police blockaded the entrances to the parking lots to Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon is not a government site. According the the Mount Vernon web site:



No Shutdown Here


The Federal government may be shut down, but Washington’s home remains open. Mount Vernon has remained a private non-profit for more than 150 years.
Gutowski posted these photos and others to his Twitter feed:





Other photos are surreal. Parking spots along the side of the George Washington Parkway were blockaded too:



And even this small lot:




This is what happens when the Chicago Mob meets Chicago Politics meets Saul Alinsky meets Cloward Piven.
