Beyond DC: Protests rock California, Utah, Michigan and more

As rioters stormed Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., protesters in support of President Donald Trump -- mostly unmasked -- convened in cities across the U.S.

California

Pro-Trump and anti-Trump protesters gathered at Los Angeles City Hall at about 1 p.m. PT., the Los Angeles Police Department said.

When some pro-Trump protesters attempted to "take" an intersection, they were met by anti-Trump protesters, resulting in a physical confrontation, police said.

Washington state

Shortly before 3 p.m. PT, protesters gained access to the grounds of the Washington state Governor's Mansion in Olympia, Washington, Washington State Patrol spokesman Darren Wright said.

The state patrol responded to the first call of a breach and officers dispersed the crowd, Wright said.

"They did not make access to the entrance itself, just to the grounds," Wright said, adding that the protest was peaceful.

It makes me sick that those vile pieces of seditious shit are defiling the lawn of our Capitol. I have confidence that the Michigan State Police will keep them in check after what happened in March. Now if the spineless, cowardly Capitol Commission--which is dominated by Republicans--would ban firearms in the building, that would help. They whine that "it could cost money to install metal detectors..." Give me a goddamned break.
