Washington, DC is beginning to resemble a war zone, as National Guard troops numbering in the tens of thousands are armed and have been given permission to use lethal force as Joe Biden’s inauguration date looms.

A statement from the D.C. National Guard indicates “National Guardsmen were given authorization to be armed in support of the U.S. Capitol Police to protect the U.S. Capitol and individual members of Congress and their staff.”

A defense official confirmed to U.S. News & World Report that the authorization “includes permission for Guard troops to use lethal force.”

Reports indicate that 20,000 National Guard troops are on-site in preparation for anti-Biden demonstrations over the weekend.

...

The Associated Press is reporting that “a state of lockdown” has “descended on Washington that will last through the Jan. 20 inauguration.”

The FBI warned of armed protests being planned in all 50 state capitals as well as in Washington for the days leading up to Biden’s inauguration.

Just who are they going to use lethal force against? We’re having a virtual inauguration are we not? No one is allowed in or out of the Green Zone.

It seems like just weeks ago there was concern over “militarizing” the police.

What happened?

The 3rd Amendment to the Constution applies to OUR HOUSE.

Biden can have his illegitimate inaugural. Protesters won’t come to DC in January, but they will come another day of our choosing.

When is it going to click in your head that we are under martial law? This has nothing to do with protests. There is nobody in their right mind trying to go to Washington DC. Its a ghost town. Even Joe Biden is refusing to come.

Second class citizens, that’s what we are. And there is nothing we can do about it.

Amerika is going to make the Soviets and Nazis look like Boy Scouts.

Shoot to kill, the first biden policy out of the gate.

[Responsibility2nd]

Use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers conservatives HAS been approved.

[jeffersondem]

The first question asked of new military recruits: Do you have any qualms about shooting unarmed American citizens?

[Responsibility2nd]

We must remember that anytime a government is overthrown, the military has always been involved. The overthrow of the government of the United States is no exception.

[voicereason]

Granted, it might not be the right time, or the right place. But Conservatives seem to have a never ending threshold. Where exactly is the line in the sand?

[The_Media_never_lie]

The lockdown is all because of the spike in COVID-19 cases, right?

[cgbg]

When the cops kneel as _we_ approach, then we have won.

Otherwise they are the enemy.

20,000 troops plus 20 protesters plus 20 Biden staffers is about all I expect to be in attendance.

I guess they know we know they cheated...

are armed and have been given permission to use lethal force

This hasn't happened since the Blues Brothers.

Kent State x 20,000

Fire!

I don’t think those kneeling were doing so towards BLM. I believe they had to show loyalty to the communists.
