The mayors and governors do not want the military to be involved. Remember the riots last summer? Trump offered assistance, and mayors/governors refused help. The governor has the national guard at their disposal I think, but the unrest is part of the liberal plan to distract people from what those in the government are trying to do.

Thanks but the San Diego Channel 7 story mentioned that there were some BLM members in the counter protest but only said that someone appeared to throw and object. It didn't say who that person was.

As far as I'm concerned whoever crosses the line into violence or assault/battery needs to be held accountable but the local news channel didn't say which group the people arrested were from.

Antifa had dispersed at that time but there was some back and forth between the Trump rally people and the bystanders.
Odd interpretation! From the SDUT:

"The unrest began around 1 p.m., when a crowd of Black Lives Matter supporters and anti-fascists, many of them dressed in black and wearing “antifa” T-shirts and hats, gathered at the pier to counter a pro-Trump “Patriot March” planned for 2 p.m. The march had been scheduled long before the violent riot at the U.S. Capitol by a pro-Trump mob on Wednesday."

I saw a short video of this today. There was a lot of other activity going on as well. In NYC, Antifa was marching and claiming the streets as their own. They were marching in formation with plastic trash barrels that were cut in half and made into shields. There were other unrelated Trumper scuffles with groups of leftists. This is all getting more and more ridiculous.


It looks like America is only going to get more insane, post Trump.

From a local station.

One person sprayed some Trump supporters....and both sides threw stuff at each other all along the way.

More of the left's Brownshirts in action. I have to wonder if they are getting their marching orders directly from Kammie Harris. Somehow I doubt this terrorist attack on American citizens will get nearly the attention the mostly peaceful Capitol protest did.

So, when do we hold Pelosi, Biden, Schumer and the rest accountable for these vicious attacks? Attacks by people they have been embracing, supporting and financing for years. Oh I forget-Antifa is just an idea. An idea assaulted those people.

If it is to be done by police at right-wing protests, it should as well at left-wing ones.

P.S. It was interview with the reporter Michael Yon, who is very familiar with ANTIFA tactics from his career esp. during Hong Kong protests. He saw the very same tactics at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
