Anti-Trump protesters are pepper-sprayed by cops amid violent clashes in Washington DC before the Donald's inauguration

Anti-Trump protesters have been seen clashing with police and being pepper-sprayed in Washington DC.

A massive crowd of those who are against the president-elect gathered outside the National Press Club, which was holding the 'DeploraBall' - a celebratory event organized by Trump supporters from the 'alt-right'.

Hundreds of demonstrators were on the street outside the press club, many chanting and holding signs.

Videos shot by people in the protest showed the anti-Trump crowd confronted and was confronted by pro-Donald fans.

Watters was there earlier and the crowd (such as it was, MAYBE 100-200) were just milling around. No chanting. No professional signs. Looked like a total bust to me as a protest. But apparently the “peaceful” crowd swung into action when people started to arrive for the ball, and went after the attendees.

“Alt-right right my ass. These guys just throw that label out there like it means something, which it doesn’t.”

It’s infuriating that they do this! Never heard of the label until just a few weeks or so ago. Evidently it’s a term that’s been used to describe the small groups of racist sorts, like skin heads and neo-nazis, for quite some time. Definitely NOT an appropriate label for 99.9% of Trump’s supporters, but the media must continue to spew their propaganda.

From the pictures I saw 350 generous, I would say it was somewhere between 150-200. According to a reedit post yesterday they still had empty seats on the reat-a-mob buses.

Ah yes, the “Put them in Gitmo” chant. Do you know anything about that prison?

I’m not big on protesting, but if I did, it would be for something that can actually be changed.

Donald Trump is POTUS tomorrow. He got more electoral votes.

What is there to protest.

It costs a fortune to transport and house prisoners in gizmo and the cells are nicer than most of what these vermin currently live in.

You get soaked at 40* F. and it is more than "cold chills" experienced.
You will darn near wish you died. LOL.
Years ago I got accidentally soaked by a ski area snowmaking cannon that burst as I was standing near it.
Even though it wasn't that cold outside...I could barely even think straight. :-)

Nothing what so ever, but I am angry! I have been oppressed by leftists and if they committed violent acts during the inaugural, in my opinion it is terrorism!

“How would they keep the water from freezing inside the cannons?”

It doesn’t freeze in snow making equipment...

“Water, under pressure, doesn’t freeze at 36 degrees.”

Water doesn’t freeze at 36 degrees, it freezes at 32. And pressure has almost no effect on it’s freezing point.

Actually, it does.

But, at 36 degrees, it’s a non starter.

again the media trying to make it seem as if there is this BIG WAVE of anti trump people protesting, and also, like their fake polls, an attempt to keep supporters away from the festivities.

I mean “Hundreds of demonstrators” says it all. It’s about
200 or 300 hundred with another 100 journalists. Why WE even make thread after thread about these idiots is beyond me.

Did you call Hillary Clinton a “Krakenhead”? If you are right, that would explain her irrational behavior.
