Lafayette Square isn't "a historic protest site." It's a fucking park. And it's packed on nice days. Calling it a protest site is White House framing. They're closing a popular public park to create a presidential palace Saddam Hussein would love.

“This group wants you and other Haitians who have come to Springfield to know that you are a blessing, not a burden to our community,” Pastor Ruby said. "You are a part of our community, and we do not want you to be ripped away.”
Some in attendance at the funeral might not have known Damas Bel, Ruby said, but wanted to show support for his family and the Haitian community in Springfield. 

“This group wants you and other Haitians who have come to Springfield to know that you are a blessing, not a burden to our community,” Ruby said.
