The White House on Friday went into lockdown as protesters shoved over temporary barricades and hurled obscenities at the Secret Service.

Videos filmed outside the White House and posted on social media showed masked protesters shoving over barricades on Pennsylvania Avenue.

When members of the Secret Service ran over, the protesters quickly raising their hands and cried, “hands up don’t shoot.”

Secret Service locked down the White House as protesters continued to demonstrate in the area.

Instead, they will blow away anyone getting near the White House.

That's what these groups are instigating for all across the country tonight -- just one fatal shooting, a Kent State moment that they can harp on all summer. They'll bring Buffalo Springfield out of mothballs.

Every left wing violent protest is really a campaign rally for conservatives. In times of uncertainty people want a strong and protective government. Fortunately, Donald Trump is President.

Less than three months ago, this country was GREAT AGAIN, We are now a third world county, our economy is destroyed, millions are unemployed, citizens are dying of a pandemic, our cities are being overtaken, police are standing down while buildings burn, the WH is under siege. This is not coincidental.

Since when do these thugs get the freedom to “vent” and loot,steal and engage in arson?
Reagan called out the national guard when this criminal behavior was happening in California and arrested them all. That ended it.
So why are our current governors so spineless?
Looting, arson and causing damage to property is TERRORISM and CRIMINAL.
Why are the dems not complaining about these large gatherings and zero social distancing. They are hypocrites! And this proves that the deep state is behind this terrorism.

Exactly right. They’re looking for the “spark” to start the “party”. The Democrats OWN THIS! They can’t wipe their hands clean on any of this crap!

A movement without a unifying leader at the moment. What we don’t want is for the wrong one to gain traction.

President Trump can help channel the emotion and guide them but he will need help from his friends that he made in the community.

Yet there were "advisors" within the WH encouraging "restraint".......

I thought Mitt Romney was in Utah.

Exactly. Does this mean we can go back to church again, or does that still pose an unacceptable danger?

Antifa likely gets paid extra for breaching White House barricades, cursing secret service, getting tear gassed. There’s probably a pay structure, and advanced training involved. The Left saves their organizing for destruction and deception.

Tell me, pray tell - exactly what they are protesting the White House for? Trump LOUDLY, CLEARLY, and QUICKLY denounced the killing of George Floyd.

THEN - when the streets went nuts and local law enforcement lost their weak grip allowing rioting, massive property damage, roving gangs of black men assaulting white people at random, and looting of retail stores... said if the state doesn’t reign it in - the military was available to lend a hand.

Here’s a thought - instead of wasting time with the idiotic protest in front of a White House that has actually tried to help the cause... go to Minneapolis and throw a fit in front of City Hall and the Police Headquarters about the type of officers they hire then fail to investigate despite 17 comlaints filed including documented excessive force complaints (plus 3 questionable shootings).

But no - doing the constructive thing isn’t headline grabbing. It doens’t get your neighborhood a bunch of stolen TVs...

I hope the demonstrators are smart enough to know when to stop. Upon seeing the headline about the ruckus at the White House, Kent State came to mind. “Four dead in O-hi-o”! Before we let the riffraff damage our National Treasures; some people will have to learn that there are limits to everything. Possibly with bullets, if necessary.
