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.

They pick their battles for sure. Lenin is said to have said.”Probe with the bayonet. If resistance is met, stop. If no resistance is met, probe deeper”. This is the old Bolshevik< M.o. being replayed. Nationwide./p>

Media never covers it when there is a sizable pro-life march on DC

And Barry cowered in the WH bunker, he never met with the pro-life sponsors or the Rolling Thunder people.

In fact the Rolling Thunder veterans were unwelcomed by the previous administration.

I wonder what they’re going to try to destroy there.

Yes, what Al Qaeda failed to do in D.C., BLM and Antifa are aiming to accomplish.

BLM is a PAC and it should be illegal for the mayor to rename a street that way.

The founders claim that they are separate entities but they didn’t give them a cease and desist letter and have even encouraged them to do things their way. Any interviews seem to discuss them in legal terms to claim the the original BLM is non-partisan etc.

...so what exactly does this have to do with Trump? Or the White House? I thought this black guy was put down in the democrat-run state of Minnesota? Shouldn’t this be a ‘million-snowflake march’ on Minneapolis?

The National Guard got sent home. The 82nd Airborne is at the White house.. And, they are armed.

JFK and RFK tried to stop MLK’s march on Washington and they DID cower in the White House monitoring the situation on tv

Take a photo of the empty stage as people are filing in and use it. They did it to Trump’s inauguration.

The 360 degree photo from that day should’ve put an end to the Left’s lie.

Trump and family need to go to Camp David. I have an uneasy feeling about this.

Remind me not to go to the Black Lives Matter Plaza.

What a disgrace. A disgustingly racist “tribute” to a small portion of the population.

Those protestors need to concentrate their efforts on looting the rest of DC.
Go to the rich white lib neighborhoods and raise a ruckus.

Ok kidding...sorta.
