Washington (CNN) — Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday urged Americans to avoid the city during President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration next week and to participate virtually following last week's deadly domestic terror attack on the US Capitol.

Meanwhile, the National Guard has plans to have up to 15,000 National Guard troops to meet current and future requests for the inauguration, Gen. Daniel Hokanson, the chief of the National Guard Bureau, said Monday. The dramatic increase in troops comes as law enforcement in the nation's capital and around the country brace for further extremist violence amid the transition of power.

Speaking at a news conference Monday, Bowser, a Democrat, stressed that she was concerned about more violent actors potentially coming to the city in the run-up to the inauguration, saying, "if I'm scared of anything, it's for our democracy, because we have very extreme factions in our country that are armed and dangerous."

I hope you realize he was JUST referring to my description of the day(s) of burning in 1968 in Comment #159, not the whole history of DC. He$$ and I both witnessed this frightening period in person. Where I was at the time looters were also running past the house with boxes of booze and other loot carried on their heads as we prayed they would not try to break into where we were staying. We were also filling the bathtub with water to fight any fire, and bringing boards, nails, and hammer to the main floor to barricade windows if any were broken. Fortunately private homes were mostly not touched, even those of white people living in predominantly black blocks.

Do No Play into the Leftists hands. The Rally at the Capitol sent the word. The Left knows this, that is why they have tried so hard to make us look like the bad guys! Let Bejiing Biden enjoy his Nasty Girls witness his bogus inauguration! The fight has only just started. Let’s not end on the 20th!

Hotels must be booked into PA and VA to accommodate the anticipated record breaking mob of supporters for Biden. Based on the final vote tally, this should be an astoundingly attended inauguration.

Fields for cars to park and shuttle busses? People camping overnight for a view of their new beloved leader. T-shirt, cap and souvenir vendors will compete for opportune spots. The airports and train stations will be overwhelmed.

What are they worried about? There will be no room for Trump supporters! The NG will have to help with people getting trampled to death.
