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.”

“We are not a pro-Trump group,” said one of the armed protesters at the Ohio demonstration.

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.”

I noticed in the pic that the Bugaloo Boy arriving in Columbus, Ohio isn’t wearing a mask.
He better not go without a mask here in Ohio because our RINO Dictator / Gov. DeWhine will have him arrested.
However, it’s OK with DeWhine if he smashes in the windows of a few storefronts and clubs some old ladies.
Report from Michigan. More press at protest than protesters All was peaceful
Their age and clothing.......I mean, why be there and be there for the wrong reasons?
No middle aged men.....or older.
So conservatives are there protesting but saying Antifa words and BLM words? So the real need or drive for the protest is lost?
It’s would be like having a Biden sign in my front yard but I’m really a Trump supporter. But the left won’t steal my sign.
This is their job. S ors and O boma are their leaders and I am afraid of what I think.
I don’t believe a word of this.
Yep......you nailed it.
Anyone else see a problem here? Like the BLM sweatshirt?
How about here?
Zoom in and look at how they are holding their heads. The two in front are looking to the right, away from the camera. The ones in back have their faces mostly covered. The guy on the right is almost out of frame, and you can see his eyes, mouth and head are covered. This picture was staged.
Remember Charlotesville and the Patriot Nurse? Or the pictures from the Save America Rally? Trump supporters do not hide their identities. Neither does Viking Man Qanon, to his credit. We don't hide. ANTIFA and BLM hides.
After the second set up fake attacks, martial law is next, and the military and police will just follow orders unless a miracle occurs.
Interesting.
The monsters created by Soros, The Enemy Media and the Socialist Democrats just might demand their pound of flesh!
Just checked my local news. All Quiet on the Western Front of, ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’ ;)
It’s kinda cold, some snow flurries, and the Capitol Building, businesses around the Capitol Square, as well as State Street are still deserted and boarded up from the Summer riots. Not much to steal. *SHRUG*
Wonder how security is at our two main shopping malls? That’s where the loot-worthy stuff still lies. ;)
Okay. Who are ‘liberty boys?’
Thx.
“If you continue to oppress the American people, they will remain rational no longer.”
This is true....except our side will be very rational!😎
Boogaloo are self admitted National socialists (leftist) which have an alliance with antifa. The FBI in their twisted logic call them “right wing”
“Boogaloo” is a 4chan hoax, along with the flowered shirt uniform. Gullible lefty conspiracy theorists fell for it. Unfortunately, rightwing conspiracy nuts decided to make left wingers look sane.
“..going to red-state capitols huh..”
Springfield sucks so bad even these jagoffs wouldn’t want to go there.
Didn’t they admit to being BLM supporters?
It can’t be republicans and trump supporters... we have jobs
who are these people that they can take off on till Wednesday?
Has anyone bothered to interview them?
did a search on them and they are anti-government, anti- law enforcement and look forward to the US becoming a Nazi-type nation. That classifies them as far-right, I suppose.
“Okay. Who are ‘liberty boys?’”
Liberty boys are a group out of Oregon.
I don’t know.
After the news this week that Panty-fa and other Libtards are circulating images of all the attendees on 6 January, and trying to dox them, if I were so disposed to go to a march like that, I’d hide my face too.
Lots of malevolence out there.
Is their battle song “I hate everyone”?
They are mostly anti-government. They were largely supportive of BLM over the summer — fits in with their narrative of police state law enforcement, government over reach, etc... Other boogaloos are conservative, but most just kind of defy an easy label.
