Cars/Motorbikes/ATV’s Doing Doughnuts On The National Mall

[Sunrise]

Was out for a walk this fine evening on The National Mall and I saw what must have been over 100 ATV’s/Motorbikes and at least 20 cars drive onto The National Mall grass area between the west side of The Washington Monument and east side of The World War 2 Memorial to do doughnuts and have a sideshow/meet up. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and where it was happening. Dust clouds were flying everywhere. The air reeked of exhaust and noise from what must have been straight pipes.

Falls under the jurisdiction of the US Park Police, which only responded with a couple vehicles and a couple bikes after what must have been 15 minutes after I walked up on it. Friend of mine told me that USPP apparently has a no-chase policy thanks to the politicians, so I guess that’s why they weren’t seemingly in a rush to show up in appreciable force.

The Nation’s Capital is going to hell… It’s going to be a long hot summer. Stay safe.

No agency in DC is going to chase them.

I think a lot of people are just waiting for the system to break at this point. The pain threshold needs to hit the protected class hard as hell.

You don’t have to chase them if you kettle them with sufficient force.

Sideshows have gotten so bad in woke Oakland, CA that local government is now doing this:

The Oakland Police Department said five tow trucks were used to seize nearly 80 cars at a weekend sideshow where a vehicle caught fire.

I read both articles and still don't know what a sideshow is. I imagine it is street racing mixed with hooliganism and teenagers/young adults doing destructive things to roads and neighborhoods. Is that about right?

I agree. We’re going to have a hard crash when it finally happens. I think the 2020 riots were only a preview of what’s coming.

This was straight up lawlessness occurring on a direct sight line from the south side of The White House/Ellipse and between a sacred war memorial and monument.

It was absolutely surreal.

Pretty much:

How did sideshows begin, and how did they get so out of hand?

(KRON) — The first Bay Area sideshows took place in the parking lot of a McDonald’s, across the street from Oakland’s Eastmont Mall. They involved young men, some drug dealers, fl…

Completely agree.

I had a horrible sinking feeling in my stomach seeing this.

Sadly it wasnt in Arkansas, the ASP will chase until the wheels fall off.

that's some top-shelf crazy....
When we do events on the mall grounds, AOC acts like we are trespassing on something HOLY.
Whatever you got your permit approved for, six weeks before the event, That is what you can do.
No matter what circumstance you encounter.

Are there not about Nine overlapping law enforcement agencies there?

US Park Police has primary jurisdiction on The National Mall. Other bystanders told me that calls they made to DC’s MPD were redirected straight to USPP because it was occurring on The National Mall. MPD wanted no part of it apparently.

FWIW, AOC stops at 3rd St. It's National Park Service after that.

Here’s the tail end of it showing the anemic police response by USPP:



They should have been kettled, arrested and had their bikes/vehicles impounded/confiscated.

That’s how you put an end to this lawlessness.

Maybe when someone gets run over by one of these ATV’s/Bikes or Vehicles on the Mall? Nah… won’t be enough to move the needle to where it needs to be: arrests, confiscation, prison.
