The "Justice for J6" rally in DC

Back on Sep.16 Trump already called it a “setup”:

From what I've read, if you add the number of cops and "journalists" there, it would be more than the number of rally participants.

In the end, rally attendees were vastly outnumbered by police, media, a few dozen counterprotesters, and curious onlookers. Capitol Police estimated that approximately 400-450 people were inside the protest area, excluding law enforcement. One person was arrested for possessing a knife and another was arrested after they were “spotted with what appeared to be a handgun,” Capitol Police tweeted. A spokesperson for the department confirmed that the man did have a gun on him.
"Tens!" LOL.
Seems like only yesterday that we were being told that this would be the second assault on our democracy.
Wait...it was yesterday, LOL.

I told ya it would be a non event.
I have a buddy who is FBI and regularly goes to events in plain clothes. Glad it wasn’t him in that video lol.
What’s up with the cuffed shorts in that pic. Is that a thing now?
Oh I guess a 4th comment. Watching all of the lawn enforcement prep to handle this event is such a typical DC response. They always overdo the response AFTER an actual event has happened. When I lived there, it was sad to see the ever growing number of streets and areas cordoned off and made inaccessible for security reasons… or the security screenings to get into various buildings or events, was always overkill after something happened. Sad.

Some of the news coverage bordered on hysterical silliness. Why CBS radio news was talking about the people coming to Washington to protest for the participants of the deadly insurrection of January Sixth.
Deadly insurrection? Huh?

To date, no one has been held or charged with insurrection. They've been charged with trespass.
Insurrection is just one of those words the left uses to gen up opinion.
Damn shame those 200 reporters weren't down at the southern border in Texas covering that Biden fuck-up.

That, and some with interfering with police, interfering with "official business of the government."
Thank God they've been incarcerated for 9 months, lest they do it again.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Yea... really.
I worry more about the 1.4 million illegal aliens released into this country, never to be seen again... until they get arrested for breaking the law of the land... you know... like their first act of breaking the law by illegally entering this country in the first place.
A couple of bone-head yahoos??? not so much.

Lot of question about that "official business of the government"...That one is being litigated, since Congress was not conducting official business of the government on that day.

There's hope yet.
