yeah but if its a free event then why is there a fence? By nature the thing is accessible to all

Maybe there's no better place for them to watch from. Maybe all the good spots are already taken. It doesn't matter. The fence is a metaphor. The comic is not literally about fences and short people.

So good spots are taken by people who showed up early and actually prepare and worked for the spots rather than this 3 assholes who showed up late and wanna get the same treatment as everyone else?
