SACRAMENTO (CBS13) – It’s an unusual sight to see in downtown Sacramento with the California National Guard set up for the next several days ahead of any potential unrest.

Tanks and troops are scattered all around the area to protect government buildings.

“I’ve never seen the Capitol with this level of security before,” said Timothy Dellavan. To him, the number of military mixed in among the ordinary was significant.

“It feels weird, it’s definitely uncommon,” said Mike Juliano, who walked around the downtown area in awe.

This is what you see when there is a coup: tanks and troops are everywhere to guard coup instigators from resistance.

What usually happens after the kickoff time is mass arrest. We will see what happens. It may not come tothat, but who knows?

That “something” is called Big Whoop Unneeded Nothingburger and is simply joining the chorus of virtue signaling idiots.

BORING!

Tanks? Tanks? Against lightly armed (if that) protesters? WTF?

Either the author has no idea what a tank really is, or this is the overreaction of the century.

I want full credit for predicting what is about to happen. God knows the amount of whining, vitriol and BS I’ve had to listen to the last several days. I’m glad to see you are getting a clue. Not many on FR are. Congratulations. 😉

There was some BS social media post calling for 2A protests in all 50 state capitols. It’s no happening, but after the events on the 6th, they aren’t taking any chances.

The best thing Trump supporters can do on Inauguration Day is....NOTHING!!! Dead silence. In this case, NOTHING might speak louder than any words ever could.
