100 National Guard to help Capitol Police for Saturday rally

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Friday approved 100 National Guard troops to aid Capitol Police for Saturday's Washington, D.C., rally in defense of those arrested in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot.

The Guardsmen, who will come from the D.C. National Guard, "will be stationed at the D.C. Armory as a Physical Security Task Force to augment law enforcement for the September 18th demonstration on Capitol Hill," Pentagon spokesman Army Lt. Col. Chris Mitchell said in a statement.

The troops join a number of local law enforcement agencies supporting the Capitol Police in preparation for the "Justice for J6" rally, where demonstrators will be backing people who invaded the Capitol in a failed attempt to overturn President Biden's election victory.

Officers from the Metropolitan Police Department will have an increased presence around the city, with numerous street closures set to go into effect, a move intended to prevent similar events from occurring.

2. Great

But I worry that it is a diversion by the creeps who will go after state capitals where there aren't enough police/national guard to protect those buildings.........

YMBL, I always read your comments and posts first. They are incredible.....THX

3. It strikes me that only 100 is not enough to deter them.

I realize the prediction currently is for a rally of under 1000 people due to the warnings and GOP wannabes staying away. I doubt that will prove to be accurate but I suspect without TLG they haven't got the same show nor the same open wallets and ground organization as built the Jan. 6 Lynch Mob.

I am unsure about what the militia types will get up to or are willing to generate.
I have no doubt they'll do something to get noticed.

For my personal tastes I feel they should surround the "rally", then kettle and arrest the attendees on general principles... But that would be wrong, wouldn't it?

8. I think 1000 NG would be more appropriate.

Who knows how many busloads of terrorists Justice Thomas and his wife are bringing in?

11. The organizer submitted a permit for 700 people attending the event. I doubt that number

is who will show up. It could be fewer, which would please me greatly. My gut tells me it is likely to be more than the organizer has stated. I suspect if they had allowed pro-Trump and other religious regalia to be worn and encouraged the fringe who came in January it would resemble that day.

Since the people who fronted the Jan 6th "rally" were not the genuine organizers I doubt that this event is any more honestly represented by the public faces shilling for it.

5. This is the bait

The larger force will seal the exits, close in and then interview potential participants who were at the January 6th event. Easy, Peazy.
