If these Y'All Quaeda / Proud Boys / Vanilla ISIS types start shit, it might just force action against those militia groups that have now flown under the radar of tight scrutiny and regulation.
If these goobers are thinking they'll make a change--they'll be right.
WASHINGTON (AP) The FBI is warning of plans for armed protests at all 50 state capitals and in Washington in the days leading up to President-elect Joe Bidens inauguration, stoking fears of more bloodshed after last weeks deadly siege at the U.S. Capitol.
An internal FBI bulletin warned that, as of Sunday, the nationwide protests may start later this week and extend through Bidens Jan. 20 inauguration, according to two law enforcement officials who read details of the memo to The Associated Press. Investigators believe some of the people are members of some extremist groups, the officials said. The bulletin was first reported by ABC.
Armed protests are being planned at all 50 state capitols from 16 January through at least 20 January, and at the U.S. Capitol from 17 January through 20 January, the bulletin said, according to one official. The officials were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity.
The FBI issued at least one other bulletin they go out to law enforcement nationwide on the topic before the riots last week. On Dec. 29, it warned of the potential for armed demonstrators targeting legislatures, the second official said.

(11,744 posts)The FBI and ATF know all about those self proclaimed "militias" just like they know about the Crips, Bloods, 18th Street, MS-13, and Biker gangs. The big difference is that the political powers that be (Republicans) have designated those latter organizations significant threats (which they are) but have largely tried to cover for right wing, White Supremacist groups like said militias and other extremist groups. They are the "very fine people" that Trump has said, "We love you" and "You are very special" to.
They are on the radar, they have just been identified as allies to the right and ordered to be left alone. The intelligence and investigative agencies of the Federal Government have known about the dangers of right wing militias since the 1990's at least.
