Capitol Police arrested a man in downtown Washington with a loaded handgun, more than 500 rounds of ammunition and fake inaugural credentials, police say

Biden's inauguration is just days away. Here's how DC is tightening security to prepare.Members of the National Guard stand near the Capitol on January 14. Stefani Reynolds/Getty Images

The officials added that there is no concern that there will be any shortage of Guard forces to meet requirements from the 50 States and the District of Columbia. "I've been concerned before today and will be through this weekend, and beyond," Contee said on Wednesday.

I think you need a countdown clock for noon on Friday. Instead of the inauguration in 4days

US needs to be sending these arrestees to Gitmo until their trial. They are terrorists and a risk to our society. No one should be dismissed or released onto the streets of any US until trials. Safety first.

I would love to teach the truth from the Holy Bible to realize what is really going on. However, I politely encourage everyone to read it for yourselves. Otherwise, watch Truthunedited on YouTube to get the truth for yourselves. God bless all and praise Yahawashi ✝️🙏🏾📖🙏

第二修正法案呢?

Sifill_LDF And then a judge just ... let him go until his next court appearance. SMDH

Thank God they stopped this guy!!

Sifill_LDF That was a trial run.

Stupidity... letting one man who don’t care nothing about you drive you to commit federal crimes and lose everything.

BS. Y'all just trying to cancel the inauguration because of the mess arrest that are going to be happening under Military Tribunal

Another one bites the dust.

Sure,I bet when you check into the person it's just another crisis actor. No one believes anything you report.

one HAND Gun and 500 rounds.. 👀🧐 he couldn’t reload fast enough

They should lock him up and throw away the key . He was trying to killas many as he can including maybe our new pres. Let’s make an example of these traitors to democracy .

Don't worry all your guns are going to be taken away very soon...Agenda 21...check it out!!

JUST DONT LET TRUMPET LEAVE THE UNITED STATE.

Bet he was running errands for the FBI... BULLSHIT.

But lets defund the police.

MAGA = My Ass Got Arrested

😯

Keep checking I’m sure there’s more.

The Inauguration should be inside with a small group of people. Broadcast it. I haven't felt this way until now. This guy could have been up there with everybody. Never occurred to me there could be fake entry papers. Shut it down.

Luckily they caught the guy.

😳😳😳😳

Fear-mongering hacks...

500 rounds could equal 500 injured with several dead? Or why needing five-hundred rounds

Probably on his way to bring more Biden Ballots to Georgia 😂

So, is this story correct....was it in DC, or in Chicago...it is the weekend after all. So, was this guy dressed up to look like a Trump supporter...was he wearing a MAGA hat, was he saying shit like 'stop the steal' or 'that mother fucker Joe Biden is not my president?

My beautiful country hurt by Tramp. May God take him out of this world before he causes more damage as Hitler did. God, please take him out of this life and give us peace! He has killed so many people. He is trying to kill the people’s doctors. The people are dying, Lord! Help!

Testing security for holes.

THATS A LIE

And he was a Trump supporter. The headlines must have missed that.

Donald Trump should not be holding this massive farewell party! This is insane! Tax payers have much more important things to pay for than this mans crap! He has done enough damage to this country!!!!! stopthefarewellpartyfortrump

Finally a Trump supporter’s attempt at murder was foiled before it began 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Hope everything goes well on the inaugoration. The people will find out what a wise President they have with Mr. Biden and hopefully your country come to Peace.

Well, that man just threw away the rest of his life for prison.

Was his name Trump? LOL

Gijsje1968 Insane. I'm watching it live on CNN right now.

The guy is Antifa. Great job , police.

wesley allen beeler I believe was doing a test run. Sad in my opinion of what truly is happening in the great country of USA

Yeah no surprise there....a significant number of Trump followers seem to have a gene defect to be so caught up in his lies. The truth is out there and they can’t see it. Stevie Wonder can see through Trump’s lies!

He was sent by the Q to probe the defenses for weaknesses.

Have the Inaugural aboard Air Force one.

This is terrifying

Oh no the world is going to end 😱

What in the world? Get me out of this insane country!! Anyone from Europe want a wife? I'm an excellent cook, housekeeper and I have 14 years experience as a massage therapist. I'll get along great with your mom.

Oh- but HouseGOP objects to metal detectors at Capitol

Guns in DC No way!!!

Has CPAC sent him an invitation yet?

Fake News I don't believe a word out of CNN

Was he going for a war? 500 rounds? Oh Lord!

The 6th of January is being described by some as being the Rebellion of Quockerwodgers.

Let's see now. Big international event, a runaway pandemic and thousands of mentally deranged sore loser magats with fully automatic assault weapons. Let the show begin.

RubyBoobyy

Anyone want to guess the race, and state lived in of this person?

BuT iT WaS AnTiFa TrYiNg To MaKe TrUmP lOoK bAd!

Hey CNN can you, maybe, not: tell the public specifically what errors a perp made in passing off fake credentials; show close-ups of newly installed safety barriers; or, otherwise provide detailed coverage of specific inauguration security precautions being instituted?

jeffhorste

If he were really a die hard there wouldn't have been an arrest just a body. He came to his senses when he saw the rabbit with the gunS. lone Virginia hillbilly like the guy who ran into the pizza place looking for child sex ring.

Probably Antifa emmiright

I think they have to put all states in emergency situation ( entrances and exits ) ❗️

PROVE IT! You can’t because it’s false information... CNN YOU SUCK! Show a picture or some sort of facts... there are plenty of people there with cameras why aren’t they showing it?

Were the credentials virtual?

cant back down and won’t back down. they want us to not continue with the inauguration. they want us to be scared. if we do they win and i say fuck no.

Good grief

How long till the Trumpers claim he is Antifa.....

Oh, please God , let the FBI and police take theses clowns and put them away for a long time. Perhaps 9 years.

avids2 - is there a picture of the man allegedly carrying handgun with more than 500 rounds of ammo?
