The crowd was sparse and incidents were few. The only clear parallels to the riots more than eight months ago by supporters of Donald Trump wereforth by the rally organizers about the violence that January day when Congress met to certify the election of Joe Biden.
The security might have been unnecessary in the end, but the volatility around the lie that the 2020 election was stolen and the presence of extremists and white nationalist groups on Jan. 6 have made it impossible to predict how such events will go. Counterprotesters stood by and jeered. Some held anti-Trump signs and one man who had confronted some of the pro-Trump protesters was quickly removed by police, who used bicycles to shield him from the crowd as they escorted him down the street.
Anybody else have their Twitter account wiped after updating to iOS 15?
Hostesses in NYC had more problems asking for proof of vaccine to get a table.
ShannonBlanks Not the same without Trump and republicans there to incite them to violence.
They used barriers and fences to keep people out. Interesting idea, I wonder if we could put them in other places.
Was it a flop because there was a lack of interest on the part of would-be terrorists? Or was it because they knew there would be a strong police presence, and thought it wasn’t worth it? There’s s big difference there.
Guess the My-attolah of Mar a Lago said stand back and stand down AmericanTerrorism Tre45on
One of the 4 arrests was an undercover officer who showed his badge. Capitol Police said they arrested him anyway for unlawful activates. Was the guy with the knife even attending the rally?
Is this a blow to Trump? You seem to mention blows to Dems often but avoid the same for Republicans
easiest overtime these cops ever made….
Total cost for the day?
Law & Order. Never again a lynch mob attack on VPOTUS Never again armed extremist Coup on America Never again militia attack on US Congress Never again 250k Insurgents yell racist slurs while beating, bear spraying/murdering 5 Police Never Confederate Flag/Replacement of USA.
Shows the lack of support for Jan 6 rioters
JacquiHeinrich Correction: A failed trap at the U.S. Capitol has dispersed, with few incidents reported. An overwhelming police presence, security fences, and rabid media were the only ones there. Four people were arrested, so it wasn’t a total waste of government resources.
Even ex cons don't want to be seen attacking the USA with undercover Proud Boys, militant Oath Keepers, KKK and Confederate militia as they yell racial slurs and kill police as they launch a terror attack on the USA, it's Capitol, Congress to hang the VP & hang Confederate flag.
Trump lost again today.
THIS is the police presence that should have been at capitol on Jan 6th!!
Imagine not having anything better to do on a Saturday in September.
I heard it was “a crowd of dozens”. Even C-SPAN chose not to show it.
Good, so force Knows FORCE! Respect
Most of them are probably occupying a hospital bed. . A sparsely attended rally at the US Capitol in support of the jailed Jan. 6 rioters has dispersed. Demonstrators faced an overwhelming police presence, security fences and jeering counter-protesters.
Why couldn't they get more fbi informants to show up?
