Protests will aim to disrupt Trump inauguration: organizers

Thousands of demonstrators are expected to turn out in Washington next week for protests aiming to "shut down" the inauguration of Donald Trump as the next U.S. president, organizers said on Thursday.

Protesters will attempt to close down 12 security checkpoints at the U.S. Capitol, where Trump will take the oath of office on Jan. 20, and along the 2.5-mile (4-km) parade route down Pennsylvania Avenue, according to leaders of a group called DisruptJ20.

"We want to shut down the inauguration," organizer David Thurston told a news conference. "We want to see a seething rebellion develop in this city and across the country."

A representative of the Trump transition team could not be immediately reached for comment, nor could a spokesman for the District of Columbia police.

My cousin, the Rutgers college professor, and lots of her college professor friends are all hoping on one of the cheapo busses from NY-DC to go protest the inauguration. Their facebooks detail their plans to attend in all sorts of costumes. #losersonparade

If the left wing anarchists decide to get jiggly with the Bikers for Trump, it will be quite the experience for the hippy grandmas trying to be politically relevant with their "Women's March against Trump."😄

Gonna be a bit cool there that day I understand.

So, a few cattle truckers could line up with their trucks and the cattle trailer. Good place to put these bastards in and then give em a long trip the long way around to their place of confinement.

Gets a bit chilly in those trailers in a 70 MPH run.

I wonder how easily that lip ring rips out.
Gotta remember to bring latex gloves though.

As I said in a different thread, I hope the DCPD takes their cues of how to handle leftist “protesters” from the Chicago PD during the 1968 demonrat convention!

"We are not in favor of a peaceful transition of power, and we need to stop it," organizer Legba Carrefour said.

I agree with Hillary on this one - that's horrifying ;-)

These are professional anarchists who will stop at nothing. Frightening...
