In a brazen display of disregard for our nation’s sacred monuments, a group of dirt bike and ATV riders were spotted driving around the iconic World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C. last Saturday. This act of disrespect was captured on video and quickly circulated online, sparking outrage among patriots nationwide.

The District of Columbia’s authorities have long prohibited ATVs and dirt bikes on public roads, but the Metropolitan Police Department’s no-chase policy leaves officers unable to pursue these lawbreakers. According to DC.Gov, such riders perform dangerous stunts like wheelies and sidewalk riding, unabashedly flouting the law.
The video quickly went viral, drawing significant backlash on social media.
Your forefathers went overseas to die for this.

DC (and likely Maryland) ATV and dirt bike gang members joy ride in the WORLD WAR II memorial this weekend. DC home rule has destroyed our nation’s capital @MayorBowser and her BLM pageantry has residents literally driving over our heroes

This isn’t an isolated incident. Just a few years ago, in 2022, a swarm of dirt bikers transformed the National Mall into their personal playground, driving recklessly in the shadow of our nation’s monuments.

The continued disrespect for our national treasures calls for a reevaluation of policies and a stronger stance against those who dishonor the sacrifices made by our bravest. It’s time to stand up and protect what our forefathers fought so valiantly to preserve.
