Protesters are expected to gather Thursday evening at the White House as part of a national Day of Rage over the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black teen earlier this month in Missouri.
The planned rally is among dozens around the nation organized by the group Anonymous, which is demanding the immediate arrest and prosecution of officer Darren Wilson. Wilson has been identified as the officer who shot 18-year-old Michael Brown on Aug. 9, touching off violent protests in the streets of Ferguson, Mo.
We call upon the citizens of the United States to collectively gather in support for those who are suffering in Ferguson, a voice claiming to represent Anonymous says in a video posted to YouTube. We must indeed all hang together as one nation or most assuredly we will all hang separately.
The rally is scheduled to take place at 7 p.m., according to a list of protests in more than 40 major cities around the country.
Officials from the U.S. Park Police, the U.S. Secret Service and the D.C. Metropolitan Police told The Hill Wednesday that they were aware of the planned rally.
It was unclear whether a special detail had been assigned to monitor the area surrounding Lafayette Park, adjacent to the White House, though U.S. Park Police Sgt. Lelani Woods said authorities would be prepared in the event that protesters turn out in large numbers.
As of Wednesday afternoon, at least one major K Street law firm had alerted its employees to the potential traffic snarls and safety concerns.
The real rage should be coming from law-abiding citizens, not the thugs.
Reckon they’ll loot the place? Nah....the politicians have already done that.
I can see how 24 hour a day round the clock pounding the Ferguson drum may help the Dems with their base, but I wonder if normal people have about had it.
I know I have, but I never watch TV news anyway, so it makes me no difference. I wonder how your average non-FR person reacts to seeing the president and attorney general getting involved, and the TV news getting hijacked for this story in an endless tape loop day after day.
Funny...I never see these mobs show up here in Hillbilly Heaven.
It must be really frustrating to have someone look at you like you might be the type of person who would riot and loot for no good reason.
The owners of the looted stores? The insurance companies?
That be who suffering, you axe me.
This is “Occupy(tm) [your town here] 2”
I’m sick of these idiots.
We should go and protest...Oh wait, we have to go to WORK!
I liked them better when they were picking on Scientology.

I cannot stop laughing.
Right — carefully planned & choreographed “outrage” ... One can only imagine the warmup exercises, chants, etc. before the rage REALLY kicks in.
And that's why I live "up here in Hillbilly Heaven". (WEST Virginia: accept no substitutes.)
Morons. If they want attention they should loot a Martha’s Vineyard golf course.
