You guessed it the first responders who were there to try save to people

In case people weren't sure, Bloomberg turned out to be a major dooshbag.

Another reason they were not invited: The first responders will be needed for another attack on that very same day.

Something Evil transpired at that location. There's nothing to celebrate. I would have left that area and never returned.
While yes, a normal person would not want to go to Ground Zero. That I can understand. It's the fact that they weren't given the option to attend. They were just told that they couldn't c

The people who should NOT be there are the politicians who are using the event as a photo op. They should allow the people who lost friends, loved ones and co-workers at the event and not the press and politicians who are in it for no more reason than to make it seem they 'care'.

In fact, unless this is suddenly a dictatorship that we live in, who are 'they' to tell WE the people that we cannot come to an event on public ground? When did ELECTED OFFICIALS become the owners/managers of sacred ground who could decide who can visit when the mood strikes them to "allow" the priviledge?

The first responders should be the first people allowed at that event - the men and women who died ran IN to a place that people were fleeing. Did we lose a SINGLE politician that day? (NO)

Do you wear a tin foil hat all day or just at night when you go to bed?

While I completely agree that this whole thing is Remember the rules: NO politics. Keep your political opinions to yourself guys, we don't need to start a debate.

This is not siding with one political idiology or singling one person out - this is about ALL politicians who are using this horrific event as a photo op and singling out the people who by all rights should be there to mourn the loss of their friends/family more than ANY politician or the press should. To exclude the people we count on to protect our citizens is an OUTRAGE.
