Hard to imagine a "riot" in Frederick, Maryland, let alone tiny Thurmont (population 5600). They are tens of miles away from the nearest metro stop.

That's very inconvenient for protestors and reporters.

To avoid such unpleasantness from the policymaker standpoint, it was very wise to move the summit to such a remote fortress as Camp David. They're even closing Cunningham Falls State Park.

Would be so much more easy, satisfying and newsworthy to protest in DC.

As a DC resident, I hope all such future protestor-magnet gatherings will be held in remote locations.
