I still say the wisest course is to cancel the march; deny the Left the opportunity they are seeking (and may create)
to capitalize on an “incident”.

If this is the modern equivalent of an ambush, then don’t knowingly walk into it.

No big deal, just a Special Operations Surveillance Aircraft circling Richmond

And that's what many of us think it will be. With everything Northam is doing, it sure looks like it.

But I understand why these patriots are going. If no one stands up to this attack on 2A rights now, the attacks are going to explode across the country.

Because Gov. Blackface asked for it, no doubt.
VA is ground zero of The Swamp.

Apparently the plan is to step into the ambush and win anyway. Got my fingers crossed.

Years ago an F4 or F5 tornado blew through the small town I live in, leaving a path of destruction 1/2 mi. wide and scores of miles long.

The next day, the sky was full of news helicopters and private planes. Roads were all bumper to bumper with gawkers. The Sheriff's Department had to set up roadblocks and issued passes to locals, while Air National Guard choppers chased off the aerial kibitzers. They were appreciated, by me at least.

But it's not the same situation at all, is it? Natural disaster vs. political putsch?

I think the issue is that police make extensive use of drones over rallies, protests and marches, and they don’t like sharing. When state or local governments request a NOTAM for drones and small aircraft, the FAA pretty much rubber stamps it. Understand, a large event could end up having a hundred or more personal drones flying around, crashing, colliding, etc. It would be reasonable to issue a few exemptions for non LE purposes, but too many becomes a problem, and possibly even a vector for an attack on the crowd.

They are planning a huge false flag event. This will not end well.

I didn’t know either but one of the other posts explains it. I though it was a typo.

Northam would have to be insane to allow any shots to be fired by any government employee. It would immediately light the fuse for every patriotic individual in the nation. No greater call to arms could be made.

They are trying to show there is no use going against the all powerful government. There are other ways to get at the corrupt lawmakers besides a full frontal assault. I’ll bet hizzhonor won’t even be anywhere near the Capitol on Monday.

He asked for it by his tyrannical actions, this action is an ultimatum by the President to cease and desist!!

Any conservative or Second Amendment supporter who goes to this rally/ambush is a fool. Let the Deep State and the leftist politicians play by themselves.
