back then it looked like WWIII had started there were tanks, armored personnel carriers and 2 1/2 ton trucks
lined up on Columbia Pike. If there were BLM protesters on Jan 6th DC would have looked like an armed rebellion
was taking place and there would have been dead bodies on the steps of the capital. If there were a handful of
foreign terrorists attacking the capital there would have been a thousand troops there within minutes.
