NYT: Several hundred people have refused to leave the National Mall despite an order to evacuate because of severe inclement weather that is approaching.

Some are even arguing with Secret Service agents. At one point, a crowd of people began running back toward the stage. An officer is sternly repeating the order over a bullhorn and the crowd is booing.

Many have begun chanting “U.S.A., U.S.A.” A federal law enforcement officer is trying to assure people that the event has not been canceled.

One man walking by blamed the situation on “liberals in the weather service,” adding, “I think this is baloney.”

41. It's possible that's supposed to be Odin, not Thor.

Spear, not hammer.

45. Lugh

The Irish god of nobility, Lugh of the Long Arm was a master of crafts and a cunning warrior. He was both Ollamh Érenn and King of the Tuatha Dé Danann, and wielded the Spear of Assal, which none could stand against.

His dwellings were at Tara in County Meath, and at Moytura, in County Sligo. His holy day was Lughnasa, which fell on August 1st.

Forgot about Zeus, Jupiter and Thor!

17. Video from bsky.

OFFS! They told them where to go shelter and ALL the buildings are locked for The 4th. Great planning!

Here's the situation:

The fairgoers have been expelled by force

They have been told to shelter in nearby buildings, but all the buildings are locked because it is the Fourth of July

People are clustering at the entrance points and blocking traffic for blocks

The clouds are growing darker

21. That whole thread is awesome. Best comment:

People came for Trump's "National State Fair" but instead of cotton candy and corn on the cob they're getting reenactments of at least one and I think several books of the Old Testament.

[sheshe2]

22. Oy!

I also read that they had a baptismal pool.

[Skittles]

43. wait

is that literally true? It's hard to know these days

[Scrivener7]

48. Definitely in a metaphorical sense!

[ananda]

23. ROFL

The buildings are locked!

You just can't make this shit up!

[sheshe2]

24. IKR?!

[sheshe2]

25. IKR?!

[mercuryblues]

36. They have been saying, since this afternoon

to use those buildings a emergency shelters. Did anyone even check to see if they were open?

Or

They remembered the attempted coo, where they threw shit on the walls in the Capitol Building. And said, uh-uh. Not here.

[PufPuf23]

18. Maybe the "crowd" that won't leave could be strapped into

the roller coaster to keep them out of the way until the crisis is over?

[EnergizedLib]

19. Start arresting them

[Scrivener7]

20. Nah. Hand them all tall metal batons. And lead them in song.

42. Well, then let them get what they get.

If they are that stupid, then why or how should anyone stop them? But when they get hurt, they don't need to depend on "socialism" and call an ambulance.

Fucking assholes!!!

[BlueSpot]

47. So Trump couldn't even make Netanyahu share control of the Jewish Space Lasers in return for bombing Iran

Worst deal maker ever!!!
