DC mayor calls in National Guard for Trump supporters but refused to during BLM/Antifa riots
The Post Millennial ^ | James Anthony

Mayor Muriel Bowser has just activated 340 National Guard troops ahead of a gathering of Trump supporters in DC on Wednesday, anticipating potential unrest on the streets of DC.

"We will not allow people to incite violence, intimidate our residents or cause destruction in our city," said Bowser in a prepared statement.

Unfortunately, she didn't see fit to do so when DC was in full riots back in early June of this year, and people were getting hurt.

It has been known who and what Muriel Bowwow is for some time.

Going to DC? Watch your six.

Not correct.

What happens during a natural disaster? Doesn’t the governor of the state activate them?

Spoken by somebody that doesn’t have a clue what the laws and ordinances are in DC.

No firearms.

No collapsible batons.

Only certain types of pepper spray.

You can have a stun gun, however.

No knives with blades longer than 3 inches.

No switchblades.

Read something on here a couple of days ago. ANTIFA is planning wearing MAGA gear, mingling with MAGA people and causing trouble.

It’s a total setup!!!

Yes, Governors can activate their own state NG. I believe the poster was referring to the DC NG which the President can only activate. However, I read he has delegated such authority to Sec. of Defense, and he as delegated it to the Sec. of Army. The Mayor's request for DC NG has been approved, so they'll be there.

I wouldn't be concerned since they will probably just play crowd/traffic cops and escorts for arrestees to off site. I doubt they will be armed and will just mill around in the background. The ones to worry about are the DC Police.

Thanks for the list. However, I read elsewhere that CCW is allowed on the streets in DC, but not in certain buildings. Of course, no open carry.

Anyway, I favor Stun Guns and Bear Spray. There is also Hornet Spray you can find anywhere. It has a narrow fairly long spray. I'd bet that can't be fun to be on the receiving end.
