This is the capital of the United States, being run by incompetent idiots unable to maintain communications. Meanwhile, the fool who runs the Department of Homeland Security is going after "the militia".

may be a test run to bring down comms for law enforcement to allow terrorist units to work more efficiently.

Washington, DC is run like a third-world country.

Or so I'm told.

By people who are from actual third-world countries.

No doubt they went ‘hi tech’ and now they are ‘surprised’ because they didn’t plan for alternate methods.

Gee, hams have been dealing with stuff like this for decades.

Incompetent morons.

If you’re curious about what Hell might be like but want to be able to leave when you choose, go to DC or Baltimore for the day.

Is not this the same city that had a lot of snow plows out of order during the big storm recently?

Settle down. We don’t know what is happening yet. I hope it’s internal incompetence and not interference from outside.

As for Homeland Security, I don’t think they run DC police, do they? And if some nutjobs who call themselves a “militia” were planning to murder policemen, I applaud whoever foiled the plot.

How could anyone feel otherwise??

OK, so a few years back I was driving through DC with my BIL the cop, and his then 10 year old son. We passed a nondescript brick building surrounded by double chain-link and LOTS of razor wire.

The kid asked "Daddy, is that the jail?"

Good question, actually. It did look rather like a jail.

But it wasn't.

It was a Verizon switching center and truck park.

Fence was to keep the goblins out, not keep them in.

WHen the evidence is in, then we will see whether the nutjobs wanted to kill police or not. Right now, no one knows (publicly anyway).
