I'm expecting Ms Mayor to be somewhat less welcoming of pro-Trumpers, than she was of BLM demonstrations

DC Mayor Calls National Guard To Defend Capital January 5th through 7th

Posted on January 4, 2021 by Sundance

Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, who refused to enlist the support of the national guard during the Black Lives Matter riots in the summer of 2020, has called upon the guard to defend the U.S. capitol from patriots arriving to support President Trump.

There is a certain level of typically left-wing irony today as the media create a false narrative about President Trump using the military to stay in office, while simultaneously the DC mayor is using the military to…

WASHINGTON DC – […] According to a U.S. defense official, Mayor Muriel Bowser put in a request on New Year’s Eve to have Guard members on the streets from Jan. 5-7th, to help with the protests.

The official said the D.C. National Guard members will be used for traffic control and other assistance but they will not be armed or wearing body armor.

Congress is meeting this week to certify the Electoral College results, and President Donald Trump has refused to concede while whipping up support for protests.

During a press conference on Monday, Bowser asked that people stay away from downtown D.C., and avoid confrontations with anyone who is “looking for a fight.” But, she warned, “we will not allow people to incite violence, intimidate our residents or cause destruction in our city.” (link)

When you see that justice is measured, not by due process, but by compulsion; when you see that in order to invoke your first amendment right to speech, you need to obtain permission from the same voices who rebuke the constitution; when you see that justice is determined by those who leverage, not in law, but in politics; when you see that men get power over individual liberty by graft and by scheme, and your representatives don’t protect you against them, but protect themselves against you; when you see corruption holding influence and individual liberty so easily dispatched and nullified; you may well know that your freedom too is soon to perish….

We have two bus loads of BLM down the street demonstrating in front of our polling place. Our neighbors said the cops have arrived. Last night we pulled the tactical rifles out of the gun locker. Tomorrow we are taking the Dodge Ram 2500 to vote. Anybody that doesn’t get out of our way well........

No slight on you Papa Bear

And when I mentioned that we should call in the guard under ML

The shirts hit the fan..

We should have done this earlier by every Red state.... The Governor of each state is legally able to do this.

Oh nooossss

Well the Dems will be doing it, and more..

Warfare sux when you fight as gentlemen. The insurgents are terrorists, Not bloody gentlemen.

June 2020...Mayor Bow-Wowser on President Trump’s use of the military: “We saw the American military moved around like toy soldiers around the country to intimidate Americans in Washington, D.C.”

Protesting against Trump = good

Protesting against Biden = media will moan about how its harmful to democracy.

During a press conference on Monday, Bowser asked that people stay away from downtown D.C., and avoid confrontations with anyone who is “looking for a fight.” But, she warned, “we will not allow people to incite violence, intimidate our residents or cause destruction in our city.”

If only she had taken this stance last summer when BLM and Antifa were running wild in the streets.

Here is my prediction about Wednesday: there will be a huge turnout and it will be 99% peaceful. The remaining 1% of unrest will be due to counter-protestors trying to make trouble.
