    As far as I know, the permit process includes a requirement to screen everyone and everything entering the park prior to the event being held there. Presumably, the crowd would've been given the all-clear before they even started, so they theoretically would not pose any risk at all.

    What actually happened is one of the kids with cancer chewed a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun.

    Nah, they'd rather just blame the President for having the temerity to leave the WH for an event. How dare he!

    That it was Congressional Black Caucus event that he was attending made it double the OUTRAGE! One wonders what the reaction if it had been an event for Muslims.

    "We were somewhat inconvenienced" is becoming the viral outrage of the day.

    When the privileged are treated like the underprivileged, they can't believe it.

    And there's nobody more privileged than families and kids dealing with cancer.

    Cancer patients are called "victims," right? We all know that victimhood is a coveted status that confers privileges.

    Show me a person living with cancer that refers to him/herself as a victim.

    They may not refer to themselves as victims, but their friends and family often do when reaching out for help, support, donations, prayers, whatever.
