I wouldn’t get too cocky over what I understand was a well-attended and peaceful rally.
Here’s what I think happened — Gov. Nazi Northam and his minions saw from the message traffic on forums like Free Republic that many Patriots were on to the possibility of a false flag operation.
Realizing that any shenanigans might boomerang on them, the commies called off their provocateurs.
That’s just a theory, and I make no claims for its accuracy other than the well-documented history of Left-wing lawlessness and deceit.
For we surely know that the Left will try anything it thinks it can get away with. In this case, enough Patriots sent up enough signal flares to warn others.
But that doesn’t hide the fact that the whole situation was ripe for catastrophe — and the Left will be looking to mount future ambushes, perhaps in rural areas where anti-gun violence would be least expected.
I suggest that all believing FReepers say a prayer or two in thanksgiving. Civil War II may yet come. But at least it didn’t come today.
I, for one, am indeed thankful that today went as well as it did.
the leader of the group I went with saw about a dozen antifa who, I suppose, were planning to cause trouble in the vicinity of the Capitol building. Apparently when they saw the size of the crowd they walked off. Probably a good idea now that I think about it.
