The "Million Vet March" in Washington D.C. appears to be escalating as reports of barricades being torn down, police in riot gear and snipers being deployed, and a growing crowd at The White House chanting for its shut-down suggest the people are growing restless.

Protesters have gathered in front of the White House in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, according to reports.

Park police in riot gear were deployed in front of the building.

“US Park Police have arrived in front of WH. Some in riot gear! Tea party/veteran protesters start booing,” wrote CNN’s Jim Acosta on Twitter.

A rally took place at the World War II memorial and headed to the White House, reported NBC Washington. Several thousand demonstrators came out, it said.

NBC reported that people were carrying barricades that were likely from the WWII memorial to the White House area.

The DC Police Department said its officers are on the scene.

“MPD is on the scene at White House with USSS & USPP concerning protest – marchers using sidewalk,” it wrote on Twitter.

Commentator Sarah Palin and Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) were on the scene and spoke to demonstrators.

The organizers of the protest described themselves as the “Million Vet March.”

It said that veterans and military members are “being used a political pawns in the ongoing government shutdown and budget crisis,” its website reads.

Jeff Tompkins, a protester, told NBC that “it should be open to everyone to come down here and see this … this is not just and not fair,” referring to the WWII memorial.

Apparently a bunch of them just finished reading their pledge... "I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic"

Seems to me the whitehouse snipers are pretty damn lucky the veteran snipers don't decide to see who's better at their craft

If a sniper shoots a veteran, whether by accident or not, it could spark a revolution. These folk are pissed off and a lot of them have lost it all and have nothing more to lose.

All the State run media has to do is call them Nazis and Tea Baggers and no one will care.

The MSM has lost all credibility with those who count. It only requires 10% of the population to effect regime change.

I guess the DC cops are refraining from shooting anyone, they seem content to stick with murdering unarmed middle age women with children in a car - three cheers for their bravery http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSIXezqoRFo

A smart cop would view harassing a crowd of veterans as a risky venture with uncertain outcome.

Most of these people will vote for controlled opposition like Romney and lick the boot of Israel. I don't think many would be protesting if it was Romney in the White House doing the same thing as Obama.
