'Violence is being incited': DC braces for Trump-endorsed anti-Democracy rally on Wednesday

[UCmeNdc]

In an effort to preempt violence, officials in Washington, D.C. on Monday warned potential attendees of Wednesday's so-called #StopTheSteal rally and related events scheduled for this week that armed protesters will be arrested by city police officers, with the assistance of 300 unarmed National Guard members who have been activated to help contain the protests.

There is "a serious threat to our democracy right now... and violence is being incited," said Muriel Bowser, the mayor of D.C., which prohibits the open carry of firearms.Bowser encouraged people to avoid downtown this week, and anyone "looking for a fight," especially. "We will not allow people to incite violence, intimidate residents, or cause destruction in our city," the mayor said.

Since Election Day, President Donald Trump has tried to delegitimize President-elect Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 presidential election by making unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud. Trump has also tried to intimidate officials into reversing electoral outcomes in at least one state.

1. DC police need to watch for Proud Boys dressed in black

Trump knows about Reichstag fires.

2. All democratic protestors

need to stay away from DC this week. They just want to start fights, and they'll do everything they can to instigate and pretend antifa are the problem. Hawley already started last night.

8. This is what I was going to write. Its very important

I really hope there isn't some prominent left group planning a counter rally that day.

Save it for another day.

No reason to hand Diaper Don some last minute big political talking point about how there is rioting in the streets by BLM and Antifa. (The Proud Boys are just there to maintain order).
Not to mention the risk of injury and loss of life.

I hope it is only a relatively small crowd, made up of only Trump supporters, who start to fight among themselves, because they just can't help it, and there's no one else to fight. Hundreds of indoctrinated young cult members, juiced up on energy drinks and steriods, roaming the streets looking for trouble. Then call in the police, national guard if you have to, and put it down quickly. If violence happens , I hope its only deplorable vs deplorable violence. And police vs. deplorables. I want that to be the images on TV. Because you just know that FOX and even the rest of the MSM will try and find any clash between Biden supporters and Trump supporters and make that the Big "both sides" Story.

3. Pro-Dictatorship forces tar themselves

Do not intervene, and DNR. Let them work their magic.

4. Do Republicans just think that 80 million people will just accept a stolen election?

Trump needs to be stopped now and just taken out of the White House and locked in a psychiatric ward. Evidently Republicans just do not care what crazy things he will do over the next two weeks, even if it gets a bunch of people killed.

One change the Biden team needs to make when we have a functioning DOJ again is to get rid of the policy that says a sitting president cannot be indicted, and then Congress needs to make it a law that a sitting president can be indicted.

5. Trump will be speaking at a rally in D C on Wed, whipping up kamikaze attacks up the Capitol steps?

6. I hope the DC police are loaded up with rubber bullets and tear gas.

[BlueWavePsych]

7. Aim well at those wearing 6MWE T-Shirts

(6 Million Jews Weren't Enough)

[Initech]

10. Seriously... fuck Nazis.

[JackHughes]

9. Arm those DC Guardsmen

They need to be ready to defend the Capitol if Trump stages a putsch.

[EndlessWire]

11. Yeah, why handicap them? n/t

[twodogsbarking]

12. Is there a gofundme page for

tear gas and rubber bullets? I'm in.
