(CNN)A woman has climbed the base of the Statue of Liberty and seven people have been arrested on Liberty Island, all of whom are believed to be protesters, law enforcement sources told CNN.
The woman is affiliated with Rise and Resist, Martin Joseph Quinn, an organizer for the group, told CNN. But Quinn added her climb was not part of the planned protest today. "She climbed without our knowledge. It was not part of our action. We are deeply concerned for her safety," Quinn said.
Just another ho-hum July-4th, nothing really going on.
If this is the HUGE story in the news today, you know nothing else is going on across America.
All the media and press are taking the day off, except for some poor slacker forced to work on the holiday.
You won't see CNN's best covering this, nor any name you can recognize over at Fox News.
Heck! I wouldn't want to work a holiday either. Would you?
So, some protestor with a lot of that youthful energy climbs the Statue of Liberty?
Well, at least it keeps them off the streets.
If anything comes from this it only concerns Donald Trump and his wall.
Donald is going to need a much taller wall.
It would be such a waste of taxpayer money if we build this Trump wall costing Americans billions, and that billion dollar wall only to become obsolete the very day some protestor scales and overcomes it's height.
Then.... you'll have everyone doing it.
So, some protestor climbed the Statue of Liberty.
I wonder what she used for shoes, and if she ate her Wheaties this morning?
Right there, two ad endorsements that could make this protestor millions of dollars in royalties.
I'd try it too but I don't have the right kind of shoes.
