Obama clears the way for Democrat protestors:
D.C. National Guard Chief Fired Days Before Trump Inauguration: “The Timing Is Extremely Unusual”

The timing is extremely unusual, Schwartz said in an interview Friday morning, confirming a memo announcing his ouster that was obtained by The Washington Post.
During the inauguration, Schwartz would command not only the members of the D.C. guard but also an additional 5,000 unarmed troops sent in from across the country to help. He also would oversee military air support protecting the nations capital during the inauguration.
My troops will be on the street, Schwartz, who turned 65 in October, said, Ill see them off but I wont be able to welcome them back to the armory. He said that he would never plan to leave a mission in the middle of a battle.
Schwartz, who was appointed to head the guard by President George W. Bush in 2008, maintained the position through President Obamas two terms. He said his orders came from the Pentagon but that he doesnt know who made the decision.
D.C. Council Chairman Phil Mendelson (D) blasted the decision to remove Schwartz, especially on Inauguration Day.
It doesnt make sense to can the general in the middle of an active deployment, Mendelson said. He added that Schwartzs sudden departure would be a long-term loss for the District. Hes been really very good at working with the community and my impression was that he was good for the Guard.
Unlike in states, where the governor appoints the National Guard commander, in the District that duty falls to the president.
Schwartz said that he has not been told why he was asked to step down. Im a soldier, he said, noting that he was following orders and has no regrets. Im a presidential appointee, therefore the president has the power to remove me.
Is this just another part of Obama’s “smooth” transition? Or is something even more sinister at work here, since we already know that anti-Trump activists are planning “the biggest protest in US history” on the day of the inauguratio
Any violent protesters who threaten the lives of innocent people at the inauguration should be immediately shot. Use dumpsters to collect the carcasses until later when there’s time for identification and disposal.
