Numerous Secret Service agents were injured, fires set by rioters blazed near the White House and authorities were searching for car bombs late Sunday as protests over the death of George Floyd continued to roil the capital just two days after President Trump had to be taken to a bunker for his safety.
A senior official in the direct chain of command for defending Washington D.C. told Fox News of the injuries to Secret Service agents, some of whom were hurt by rioters throwing bottles and Molotov cocktails in Lafayette Park, just across from the presidential residence. The official initially put the number of agents injured at over 50, but that may have referred to the weekend toll; the Secret Service has since said the number injured on Sunday was 14.
As observed in New York City and elsewhere, groups in D.C. are planting cars filled with incendiary materials for future use, Fox News is told.
SNIP
White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere told Fox News on Monday, however, that the lights were turned off due to “standard protocol," not for security reasons. The complex's external lights are normally disabled at 11 p.m. ET unless specific requests are made to keep them online, including by media networks.
Additionally, the entire Washington, D.C. National Guard was being called in to help with the response to protests outside the White House and elsewhere in the nation’s capital, according to two Defense Department officials. Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said Sunday that she had requested 500 DC Guardsman to assist local law enforcement. Later on Sunday, as the protests escalated, Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy ordered the rest of the Guardsman — roughly 1,200 soldiers — to report.

Is this 5 day old news?
Yes this happened before however what I cannot figure out still is why the heck did they never cordon off an area 1 mile or more around the White House what is wrong with these Goons
This is five day old news - BUT -
nobody should have been even close to the White House.
The Secret Service failed to protect our president
This entire bunker thing is a crock. The DUmper’s have taken to calling Pres. Trump: ‘Bunker Boy’. Well, what the $#%^&^%$# is the damn bunker for anyway?! Safety for Pres. Trump, the lovely Melania and Barron, that’s what! If the homo muslim boy and Big Mike, along with Reggie, (LOL!!) had used it the democRATS’ would have raved about how brilliantly smart Barry was to go down to that bunker! CNN would have endless hours of their freakazoid talking heads informing everyone of the incredible brain power of Barry to think of using the bunker!
Gonna post it tomorrow? Tonight? Because nobody should have been even close to the White House. The Secret Service failed to protect our president
These guys are dealing with conditions that appear to rival a war zone, if you think you can do the job better head over to USAJobs.gov and sign up.
As President Trump explained to Sean Hannity(?) he went to the bunker in the AFTERNOON for a simple inspection and briefing by the Secret Service on its assets, long before the disruptions in the park across the street. He never went in during the evening and the fact that the media said he did - well who do you trust?
People at Andrews-— 82nd is still staged. And lots of other places and bases in the US. Politico is full of shite, period. If Esper has a problem with religion-— then he can be replaced. It was Esper who ordered acting SecNavy to remove the Captain of the USS Roosevelt-— and he did, all with the knowledge of the CID. Might see a shuffle, but the deployment goes on.
The little queers and drunks in Congress are playing footsie with the American people. And the Bushies and neocons are more desperate every day. Cornered rats are fooling none of us.
Man that entire building is a bunker. It’s a hardened building.
The walls, glass, roof, floors, doors. .....all designed for any occasion. These antifa fags have no chance of damaging that building unless they have a nuke. As typical, the crap media distorts the true facts.
Five decades ago there would be a myriad of dead bodies on the White House lawn.

WHEN THE MUSIC STOPS: HOW AMERICA’S CITIES MAY EXPLODE IN VIOLENCE
I guess that’s the real question: How soon will these goons and thugs resort to IEDs, car and cell phone bombs? Left unchecked, you know they will sooner or later.
Barr et al will do nothing but hold press conferences, attend meetings, and round tables followed by more press conferences.
And if there were some sort of criminal action taken what would be the result? Prison time? Time to spread the message until released?
Nothing will work in the long run except to shoot these political thugs dead. Tried and true formula throughout history - all other methods fail.
Yesterday and posted here today Pelousy is investigating trump on the treatment of the protesters in DC

While Mark Esper pretended to change his mind and let troops stay in DC, the Mayor of DC is forcing all National Guard out of the hotel rooms.
Pelosi is working to undermine and limit the president’s use of military troops AT ALL to quel rioting anyone in the nation, but especially to protect the White House.
This is a coup - they are stripping the president of every asset and flooding the zone this weekened with Anti-trump protestors to literally take over the white house.
Mostly peaceful protesters
Nothing will work in the long run except to shoot these political thugs dead. Tried and true formula throughout history - all other methods fail.

All able Americans need to show up at the protests this weekend - it can’t be left alone with anti-Q protesters only.
The Deep State is taking the capitol in a slow, quiet coup.
Yeah he just went to the bunker to inspect it.
