I'm sure you are right. It's pretty damn funny though.

Huh? Since when is perimeter fencing and creation of secure zones for a high profile event like this out of the norm? And where did you get the 8' tall fence from? The reporter said she is 5'6 and the fence is expected to be taller than her. What made you jump to 8' as the size? I also fail to see the connection between bridges and security fencing? Or is this some whack-a-doodle meme that is floating around where the Republicans will grasp at any straw to create a faux controversy? Seriously, the Democrats are creating enough controversy on their own, and I mean real issues that should concern the electorate, that stupid inane stuff like this doesn't matter.

Optics, NewEra, optics. Security is good enough for our political leaders, but not the rest of the country. Is it out of the ordinary? Nope. Is it backhanded? Nope. Is it hypocritical? You bet your ass it is.
About 4 other websites report it's an 8' tall, 4 mile long fence. Scale proof fence isn't worth much of its under 6'.
-edit- to be fair, the fence is more than likely to keep Sanders supporters out, who started massing and protesting in Phily yesterday.
