... without their wheelchairs.
They had a choice, they could have left just like they got there.
I wish I could have been in charge of that operation. What I would have done is set them on the lawn, under shade, with care providers giving water etc. If they got up and left without the assistance of wheelchairs, I would escort them to jail for lying to police about the necessity for a wheelchair. They also all claimed that the were on MediCaid. Easy enough to check.
It reminds me of when Nobama put doctor coats on all his back drop while trying to sell NobamaCare, who were not doctors.
No extra entitlement/sympathy because your in a wheelchair.
