We never would have predicted that Amtrak Northeast might have the Tweet of the Week, but they just might be awarded that distinction for this explanation for a DC delay:
Amtrak Northeast (@AmtrakNECAlerts) ~ Due to First Amendment-related events, customers are encouraged to allow extra time to get to Washington Union Station to board their train.
3:09 PM · Nov 17, 2023
A "First Amendment-related event"? Well, we can be certain they're not referring to a Trump rally or that tweet would no doubt be very different.
Ben Zeisloft (@BenZeisloft) ~ "First Amendment Related Events"? New "Fiery But Mostly Peaceful" has dropped.
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ Like someone is reading the Declaration of Independence and holding everything up?
Apparently this is the "First Amendment-related event" Amtrak was talking about:
Hundreds of protesters calling for a cease-fire in Gaza gathered at Union Station in D.C. on Friday night, drawing a massive police presence and disrupting Metro service to the train station.
WTOP’s Scott Gelman reported Union Station was completely blocked off around 6:30 p.m. and that the demonstration began at the front of Union Station, but later moved to the side on First Street NE.
Crowds ultimately dissipated around 8 p.m., Gelman reported. Red Line trains had been bypassing the station, but regular service resumed after the crowds left.
Six police officers were hurt at this so-called "First Amendment-Related Event."
Enguerrand VII de Coucy (@ingelramdecoucy) ~ Were people talking too loud in the quiet car?
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) ~ You mean riots.
Yeah, "riots" more closely describes what was happening.
Yeah, when Democrats gather ... more often than not ... they riot ... "fiery," you know, but "mostly peaceful."
Ilya Shapiro (@ishapiro) ~ Narrator: Blocking traffic and violating a host of other laws unrelated to any political dispute is not protected by the First Amendment.
Hurting six police officers who are telling you to disperse is not lawful, either.
Did the person who wrote that Amtrak tweet by any chance used to work for CNN?
Damin Toell (@damintoell) ~
"First Amendment-related event" could become a thing now:
Vanessa (@Nessakins_) ~ “Sorry about the screaming and crying, fellow Target shoppers. My toddler is having a first amendment-related event.”
You can't make this stuff up.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
