Troops line up outside the fenced-in White House as protesters begin to arrive in D.C. for George Floyd march that is set to attract one million people

The nation's capital braced itself with members of the National Guard guarding famous landmarks and patrolling a new pedestrian-only demonstration area as streets were closed off.

The White House remained a fortress, with black fences between seven and nine feet high erected around its perimeter cutting off protesters, as D.C.'s mayor formally renamed the street outside 'Black Lives Matter Plaza'.

Streets were shut in downtown from 6am as the first of the dozens of demonstrations organized for the day began and the city's metro system announced it was reopening cars closed due to coronavirus to boost rider capacity.

Excellent Point!
This HUGE funeral is being done when multitude of families were denied the RIGHT to say goodbye to their loved ones due to strict dictates of the politicians.

Thanks. I thought it looked like a mount of some kind.

“Less lethal” 40 mm rounds. LOL. What are the “more lethal” rounds?

Well...he has a ring on his left hand...a wedding ring..I'd guess.

He actually looks military...and they both look like nice people.

Yeah, there’s absolutely NO way a ragtag group of misfits can ever beat a regular army. Just ask the Redcoats at Yorktown in 1881. Just ask the Russians about the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Who’s talking about a direct armed assault on the WH? I sure didn’t. I doubt you can get very far through that perimeter.

By the way, please keep up your ad hominem attacks on others if it makes you feel better about yourself.

Local news herein Md. The soldiers removed their divisions patches and painted out the numbers on their vehicles. They are concentrated at Andrews AFB. Same tactics from the 68 riots.

“Who’s talking about a direct armed assault on the WH? I sure didn’t. I doubt you can get very far through that perimeter.”

You are and if you go back and read what, in your panicked state you read you would see for yourself.

You weren’t attacked, snowflake, just informed of the realities.

They make all sorts of 40 mm rounds from “rubber” to smoke, pepper and tear gas. Being belt fed automatic, I’m not sure if any of the “less lethal” rounds are compatible with the MK 19. A few guns firing rubber “blunt impact” rounds at a high rate into an approaching riot would be fun.

In addition to lighting the White House in red, white and blue, they should shine very intense white light outward from the White House. And some very annoying high frequency noises.

Brighten their day.

The White House has to be their ultimate prize

The prize is a military coup, and my analysis is that if they attack the White House with sufficient force, they get it, win or lose.

Depends on how smart the leaders are. If they’re smart, Steyer and Soros will hire a cleanup crew of environmentalists to keep things spiffy. If they’re their usual selves, they’ll just leave it and blame Trump for not cleaning it up fast enough..

I bet Obama will be there...maybe Biden too, since this is the only way for Biden to get more that 10 people to attend an event..
