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.”

Read the article. They admit it. One states he's BLM, another states they are not pro-Trump, and a third warns Proud Boys not to come.
Thx!
They are members of ICP Insane clown posse. Funny as hell!
The press needs to take pictures... then we need to find out who’s covering the costs, walking around money and weapons.
Our side is never ‘stocked’ by white liberal ‘elites’ with more money than brains. We don’t have a ‘George Soros’... so yeah, whoever shows up needs to be examined.
I take that back. A LITTLE excitement in the wee hours of Sunday morning...
“MADISON, Wis. — Madison police arrested Willie Burks, 44, after he drove his vehicle up the exterior stairs of the Wisconsin State Capitol building and against traffic around 12:00 a.m. on Sunday.
Officers said they arrived to find Burks intoxicated.
Witnesses told police that Burks had driven up the steps and around the exterior landing platform of the Capitol building.
He eventually parked his vehicle and was contacted by police.
Once the investigation was complete, Burks was arrested for his third OWI offense and taken to the Dane County Jail.
He was also charged with reckless driving, operating while suspended, driving against traffic and driving on the side walk.”
(Only THREE OWI’s? Piker.) ;)
Leftists are really good at taking conservatives words and labels to make it suit them.
They took Boogaloo to sow confusion.
This is their job. They are paid.
“I saw another with a bag over his shoulder and inside were organic snacks! LMAO!!”
The ‘Madistan’ (WI) contingent fuels up at Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. ;)
If Wisconsin closed down all the liquor stores for the week—now _that_ would cause a riot.
;-)
If you can take it look up the song by ICP Superballs:-)
Conservatives and Republicans “sit home and do nothing” because they have stuff like jobs and children to keep them occupied...
We also aren’t very good followers, Trump is the only one that can get a significant number of followers.
I think I will put on a Hawaiian shirt and my MAGA cap and go for a walk around the state house. What could go wrong?
Yeah, what Trump supporter or MAGA would be wearing the rainbow faggie flag?
Our Governor, Tony ‘Baloney’ Evers (Douche, WI) hasn’t demanded liquor stores close at all during the Wuhan Flu.
I wasn’t sure he was smart enough, but it appears so! ;)
Don't be a fool. Covering ones faces is the very template of our republic, aka Mohawk Indians. Just look around at the current purge of people who were identified. One should be able to have a mask on.
Somebody has to pay for antifa and bidens plans.
I know a few folks from WI—may not be a fair simple—but all of them are _serious_ drinkers.
One dude arrested in DC, pretty much a ghost town plus military presence. Word spread pretty quickly that these false flag "armed protests" aren't legit. Good work patriots. Barely anyone showed up at state capitols either. MSM showed up in huge numbers to cover it and no one really showed. Lots of MSM and antifa funds & time wasted!
