Armed protesters have arrived at multiple state capitol complexes across the country Sunday morning. This follows a special bulletin from the FBI last week that warned: “armed protests” were being planned at 50 state capitols and the US Capitol in Washington, DC, ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20.
While the protesters are being identified across various platforms as members of a so-called “boogaloo” movement, they largely appear to be anti-government – some of whom call themselves “liberty boys,” and others who oppose the conservative Proud Boys. Their sudden emergence surrounding the inauguration is curious to say the least.
A field reporter at The Daily Caller, Jorge Ventura, reports from the Ohio Statehouse, where he notes that “580 National Guard members” were activated “to provide security around the Ohio Statehouse in downtown Columbus through Wednesday.”

In Michigan, a dozen or so armed protesters are now showing up at the State Capitol.

Daily Mirror’s Derek Momodu tweeted, “this is very worrying…” as armed protesters gather in front of the Michigan State Capitol as Guardsmen are on “standby.”

All legitimate Trump supporters and true conservatives need to stay away from these events.
No good can come from them.
This is their job. They worked for take over Wall Street, Tntifa, black lives matter, chad, chop, KKK, brown shirts, next month they will have a new name.
You know Kamila is just itching to go full Janet Reno..
Just blast Back Off Bugaloo from loudspeakers and everyone will go home.
No one turned up in Boise, happily.
Or maybe they are rightwing guys who are clever enough to realize that posing as leftists might guarantee them immunity from arrest or harassment. Sort of like pastors and rabbis that hold services under the guise of “peaceful protest.”
Antifa false flag op.
Q tards! They need to read from History and look up Operation Trust.
You’re thinking of Proud Boys.
I just heard on the radio Fox News that they await chaos in DC.
Who is supposed to be doing this?
Not Trump supporters.
The thing is if this is true, the BLM and Antifa and actual extremist “right wing” groups don’t support Biden or Trump.
Antifa is against the U.S. They’re happy for largesse of the Democrats but they don’t support Biden.
I’ve been seeing this trend for a couple of years on forums. Bad dudes. Ask our own Matt Bracken.
These people are working for the Fed, that’s obvious.
I was slammed on FR for saying that Trump’s walk to the Capitol was a bad idea, because my common sense told me things beyond our control would happen. Which they did.
And so, I agree with other posters here, these Boogoloo people will create havoc, and we will be blamed.
It doesn’t matter that ‘we’ weren’t participators. The media will go full out on this as against conservatives and Trump.
IMO
They are probably being paid by CHY-NA.
Asking for a friend. 5.56mm
Just dial 1-800- Rioters4Hire!
Faux patriots are standing by to take your call and bank account numbers.
“They are BLM and Antifa......look at their shirts, one is wearing a BLM sweatshirt.”
Just like the the Antifa dressed in Trump regalia who stormed the capitol.
I think those Boogaloo boys are FBI agent provocateur. They are trying to get the proud boys out there so they can set them up to take everybody’s guns away.
I hope no proud boys take the bait. Course the FBI could send it actors to act out the proud boys part too.
