No, I was thinking that since a sidewalk is what's called a 'pedestrian thoroughfare', the public (normally) has the full right of use of that space, whether its length, width or its vertical space.
All of that belongs to we the people, and so no city ordinarily has any right to trespass into 'our' space. i.e. a person next door can't just build an upstairs room extension that extends out over your yard.
Also not sure about the Capitol grounds, but if it's like the White House grounds - you can't just go in there and walk around, as you're entitled to do with a public commons.
Plus regular citizens using a sidewalk are not usually criminals. However there are dangerous criminals known to be in the halls and grounds of Congress.
So putting wire on the inside respects the public's rights more, and at the very least sends a message as to who the targeted criminal threats are.
Bruh, they have 20,000 military people, high fences and barbed wire because of armed "insurrection"... they dont give a flying _____ about sidewalk easements or pedestrian rights....
They work for us.
Which is why the barb witness facing inwards, to keep the treasonous politicians in... ita not facing that way because of "pedestrian right of way"... come on now.
Actually that's exactly what I just affirmed. This seeming difference in perspectives is because it's not intended to be an 'either/or' observation, but a 'both/and'. In addition to what you are saying, the secondary point is that the military is supposed to uphold and serve civil society, to the extent possible. They are here to dominate enemy combatants, not us. So while being effective, they should also fully respect the role and rights of citizens (to the extent possible) while accomplishing their mission/s.
[add] i.e. they had a CHOICE as to where to put it, and all the above (citizen's rights, Congress' guilt) + optics may have been partly why they chose inside the fence. Just a speculation in response to your op.
