Washington D.C. Turned Into "Virtual Fortress" As 250,000 Protesters Descend Upon The City

Watching the MAGA concert at the Lincoln memorial. Not one protester or disturbance seen on the ABC stream.

Just as I thought. These cowards only protest when they either out number someone or they’re in their safe space lol. Like a college campus or in a rat invested leftist city where the police know they can’t restrain them. If there is going to be a large protest it will be Saturday after all the Trump supporters are home and the lefties aren’t outnumbered anymore.

Nice map...

Thanks!

[Engedi]

it was actually two blocks away. They were blocked. Yeah!

[Thibodeaux]

How do the security types separate the sheep from the goats?

You might want to read my comments again and note the bold font. This is not complex.

We’re about to find out if law enforcement, with weeks of advanced warnings of mass violence, are prepared.

I hope 12 hours before the event they sweep the streets clear of people, then set up a secured containment area for the inauguration route. I pretty sure this is what will happen.

Will some of the violent leftists slip through? No doubt, but this should be kept to a minimum if they did their jobs. So the bulk of these Communist should be kept outside that perimeter.

Btw, they have to do all this anyway to sweep for IED's etc before allowing the people into the secured area as everyone entering that inner perimeter will have been screened. ☺

To clarify, I believe there are going to be both ticketed and non-ticketed viewing locations for the ceremony. The non-ticketed viewing venues will be outside the inner perimeter I talked about.

For the second W ceremonies, although we left early, once we left the Metro, there were large masses of obstructors blocking the way.

We had tickets for the fenced off area but the access to the mall and especially the path ways to the entries where ticketed visitors were checked on entry. It was scary

Unless the whole of the mall and the area/walkways from the metro are within the ticketed security zone, the disruptors will prevail

I suspect that the security is not up to the task

However...... we made it to the FReeper Inaugural ball, Danced to the Gov Huckabee band the Capital offense, and met and remet tons of FReeper FRiends

[dragnet2]

This is not W's inaguaration. This is a whole difference animal. the disruptors will prevail

You sound confident. But be more specific.

Are you suggesting they'll disrupt the inaugural ceremony where they'll need to flat out have to cancel? Because I can assure you, that is their stated goal.

And if Trumps life is even in the least bit of danger, which I do not believe it will be, they'll cancel this thing in a second.☺

If so, I'd be willing to make a bet here.

[Thibodeaux]

The disruption is not to the ceremony..What I foresee is preventing the ticket holders from reaching the entrances and preventing many of ticket holders from making it into their allotted area. it is easy to block entry streets with thousands. It is even silpler to block the metro escalators and exit pathways. It might be if they a drone dispersing buteric acid and stink the place up so as to be intolerable

[dragnet2]

The disruption is not to the ceremony? No, it won't be if they did their jobs as I mentioned above.

So you're suggesting when the inauguration starts, no one will be there to watch it because the protestors will have stopped them from getting tickets?

Wanna bet?

[dragnet2]

Or are you're suggesting when the inauguration starts, no one or few will be there to watch it because the protestors will have stopped all ticket holders from entering the secured inner perimeter?

I'll take a bet that never happens. !☺
