Police planning to reinstall Capitol fence ahead of rally

WASHINGTON (AP) — Law enforcement officials concerned by the prospect for violence at a rally in the nation's capital next week are planning to reinstall protective fencing that surrounded the U.S. Capitol for months after the Jan. 6 insurrection there, according to a person familiar with the discussions.
Though no specific measures have been announced, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hinted during her weekly press conference Wednesday at extra safety precautions for the Sept. 18 rally by saying: “We intend to have the integrity of the Capitol be intact.” Briefings for lawmakers, including congressional leaders, are expected in coming days.
A security plan that is being finalized calls for a fenced perimeter on the streets immediately surrounding the Capitol building and the Supreme Court, though not around the congressional office buildings nearby, said the person, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity ahead of an official announcement.
Police continue to track intelligence indicating far-right extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are planning to attend next week's rally, which is designed to demand “justice” for the hundreds of people who have been charged in connection with January’s insurrection. Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, however, has said he doesn't expect his membership to attend.

they set the precedent along with their ex-potus. I know what our Constitution says and for 4 long years and continuing EVERY DAY, they observe not one word of our Constitution. They are Insurrectionists, killers, murderers, racists and HATEMONGERS spurred on by their nazi leader the Hitler-redux in his bunkers in Florida and New Jersey. And I hope Ida F'ed up his abode in NJ.
And I can assume they will be extremely violent, on 1-6-21 they set the precedent...
POC have had their Constitutional protection(s) abridged and ignored since day one of the conceptions of that document and the Bill of Rights. Yet they are of a segment of our general population that cannot have their rights abridged for any reason. Okay, I understand now.
every word in this answer of yours is correct. Yet as a disabled vet who had to watch the Confederates in my company as well as the VC-NVA, I am GREATLY OFFENDED by these people and their nazi leader. By a hairsbreadth, we avoided another Hitler this last election and the ensuing attempted Insurrection and coup d'etat. This fact should have never been. Yet the big lie is ongoing on Fox News with its deranged and sociopathic pundits and in the general racist American public full of the narcissistic, self-avowed 'superior race'. Nor has any significant jail-prison sentence been handed down to those self-avowed members of the 'superior race'. And no one in the nazi leadership, not Trump, nor Miller nor Kushner et al. have been held responsible nor accountable for the attempted coup. I did not almost lose my life in Vietnam as some of my friends did for these dangerous clowns to keep calling America theirs only. This is a country I cannot be comfortable with every time a racist Trumper assumes my colour as an enemy and tries to intimidate me with their eyes or weapon.
Many still ARE NOT free as written in that document nor accepted as Americans. I think all the way back to Crispus Attacks and to when one of my descendants joined the 9th-10th Calvary(coloured designation) or the 24th-25th Infantry(coloured designation) with UNINTERRUPTED service till my voluntary duty In the United States Army. When that day comes, IF I SEE IT, I shall then think all who died in defence of that document you hold so highly, died for a true all-inclusive-equitable democracy.
Have at it, I'm finished. Have a good one
(see map below of the buildings)
I expect they will be beefing up the guards around the entrances.
that they had around the Capitol after 1/6 - i.e., this -
would be a feasibility issue.
actually houses Congressional offices (unless they had a map). 
I remember about 35 years ago attending a conference down there for work and deciding to visit the Capitol during my off time. Once I stepped inside and asked about actually going into one of the chambers, I was told I needed a pass from either my Senator or Congressman. I refused to go to Arlen Specter's office 
so had to find out where Bill Gray's office was and then got the route - which I could get to through one of the Capitol tunnels in the basement, which I used. Then I came back with pass in hand so I could sit up in the House Gallery and watch a "Special Orders" speech (basically reading written remarks into the record in an empty chamber) near the end of the day done by I think Dan Rostenkowski...
But since those buildings are adjacent to businesses, etc., it would be way too disruptive to try to encircle all of them. I still think there will be some beefed up security at them but no fencing.
