National Anthem

[SCBills]

Is there more context to this?.. or did this really just happen?

 

 

[B-Man]

 

Editor’s note: The man talking to the choir director was one of the guides who was told by the police to walk over and stop the choir immediately.

 

 

The children, part of the esteemed Rushingbrook Children’s Choir, had traveled to Washington, D.C. last Friday, May 26th, for a scheduled Capitol tour and had received prior approval to sing a short set of patriotic songs inside the historic Statuary Hall.

 

 

 

Note the confusion on the poor kids faces.

 

I really don't know what to say to them.

A single source makes a claim and provides no named sources or official statements to back the claim. 
 

Time to break out the “jump to conclusions mats!”

 

Any chance we want to wait until we learn more before throwing stones at each other?

Nope they just needed permission which wasn't obtained.   Another BS story to rile up the perpetually offended and/or simple-minded.

Perhaps permission wasn't obtained from the proper folks. This article claims permission was granted from their state's representatives William Timmons and Joe Wilson a well as from Speaker McCarthy's office. It also sounds like a call was later made to McCarthy's office to confirm authorization.

Sounds like another potential insurrection plot foiled.  Biden will speak to the nation tomorrow about extremist choirs being the biggest threat to our democracy since his handlers made up the white supremist threat ruse.

It sounds so ridiculous it’s almost as if it isn’t what he said at all. 
 

Needing permission to host an event for singing the national anthem in a building =\= needing permission to sing the national anthem in the city.

I mean, can any group just show up at a place and break out in song?  Think how ridiculous that sounds.  I think it being the national anthem is irrelevant.  Man ya'll are getting your panties in a wad quite often lately.

You people are clowns. And so gullible.

Except thats not what happened. They didn't just "happen" to show up and sing.

 

Thats why it sounds ridiculous.

 

 

P.S.  and your repetitious "you guys sure are complaining a lot lately"  silliness does not work on adults.   Sorry.

They do it in Mary Poppins …😉

[BillsFanNC]

I don't know about breaking into song wherever a group wants...

 

But the left didn't seem to have any problem with large groups on BLM protesters randomly marching in residential neighborhoods and through restaurants chanting loudly with no repercussions. 

[Pokebball]

Oops! The kiddos choir did in fact get the necessary approval. Sheesh

C'mon man, you don't find it just a tad, a tiny little bit, unsettling that a childrens chorus was made to stand down from singing patriotic songs in the US Capital building? What kind of freak show world are we living in here.

Here's why Capitol police stopped a youth choir from singing the 'Star-Spangled Banner'

 

Looks like it was probably a communication issue about having permission for a performance. 
 

Which is a much more likely case reason than believing that the police thought someone would be offended by the national anthem. Especially since nobody making the claim can seem to point to who told them that.

So you're a cop in the Capital Building and you hear a choir singing the NATIONAL ANTHEM, your first thought is gonna be, "that ain't right, damn kids singing that song in here without proper authority, I'ma shut it down." Freak show world. Cop should have stood at attention until the song was over.

Or he could have done his job and checked if the group performing in the Capitol had permission to do so.

Yup. And it looks like the officer was told they didn’t have permission when they did. An unfortunate mixup.

Wow, it’s amazing that someone can hold off on expressing an opinion until more facts are known and then express an opinion once more facts are known.

 

Crazy!

Right? Perhaps they should have included a few ditties about the glory of gay sex or maybe dressed in drag. Then all good, I’m sure. Imagine the outrage if they pulled the plug on , you know an actual freak show?

I've worked for the federal government, so I have some insight here. That's why Hanlon's Razor is my default explanation: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

No, but you're a security guard and it's been pounded into you that there are "no organized demonstrations or performances without express permission of the Office of the Speaker" and that the constitution requires you to enforce that in a content-neutral manner, and you literally did not get (or did not read) the memo about this particular one. Things like this happen all the time. All. The. Time.
