Solid reporting in that final paragraph.

National Park Service workers were seen roping off the area Thursday afternoon, and National Guard members appeared to be directing the public away from the grass. National Park Service workers were seen later roping off the area.

The second roping off makes it extra secure.

My family and I visited the Capitol building maybe four years ago and there were no fewer than 7 layers if fence between me and the door.

But what was the National Guard doing? They can’t leave it all to the National Guards! Also, we need to know who was managing the public.

The National Guard are doing more to control the scene of the lawn than they did during January 6th.

More like solid proof ABC is using AI slop to write their articles.

What about even later? Were they seen going home for the day?

Do the workers need to be rebooted? Or like, is the rope they’re using not long enough? Are they just walking laps with a too-short rope, endlessly attempting to enclose a volume they will never have a long enough rope to enclose? Just chasing the end as it moves away from them with each step?
Does their struggle represent the American dream? Is there a smug geometry teacher somewhere yelling “this is why you need to know the formula for perimeters!” at their news source?
