As their leader sits in jail, members of the 1776 Restoration Movement argue the constitutionality of parking meters and parking tickets near the National Mall. "We're just going to have to say nope, sorry," one member says on paying meters.

One convoy-goers argues to the group that perhaps "somebody has to get towed" but that idea doesn't go over well with the group as they continue to complain about all the money they have to pay for parking.

1. Tow them ALL,

BEYOND Washington County (Hagerstown.) Try West Virginia, maybe?

3. That's where they're camped out, Bunker Hill, West Virginia. NT

9. Good, let them stay there!

2. Nickel and diming themselves

Guess them fancy cities just aren’t conducive to them.

4. Truckers for free parking!

Tow all the asshats away.

5. They're still in Hagerstown? When did their leader get elected?

This story has dropped off my radar!

8. You mean arrested? Leader was arrested yesterday for an outstanding warrant.

Interesting that your auto correct changed arrested to elected....lol

10. Haha! Yes - arrested!

Wow! I totally missed that in the news!

6. BUT THERE WERE NO PARKING METERS IN 1776! Definitely a bunch of snowflakes

7. There is no more powerful or efficient force in the universe than DC parking enforcement.

The cost of metered parking as of January 1, 2020 will be $2.30 per hour for a maximum of 3 hours (not renewable at that same location), and is in effect from 7 a.m. – 8 p.m. daily (including weekends and holidays, except December 25). Pay stations accept credit cards and debit cards (no cash/coin); payment can also be made via the Parkmobile app or website. The District of Columbia’s Department of Public Works parking enforcement officers will enforce the meters.
