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.

Agree on all points! Just open up and the heck with these people, who have shown us that this shutdown was all a politically motivated and staged event.

I personally know some of the protesters in DC. They would turn tail and run if they saw a single biker on a harley with a shotgun. They are “well-meaning” white people, but not particularly motivated to get themselves injured.

Which you can tell when they all go screaming to their mommies about smoke drifting into their eyes.

Exactly so. They have no interest in our system of government. They have the "One person, one vote, one time," model in mind.

Someone who cannot accept a loss should not be participating in elections.
