Stay safe down there

Not liking the reports I am seeing around the Capitol. Be safe, everyone.

Well, I have been in the DC area this weekend. First time I can say I went there to avoid demonstrations...

Everything went over very smoothly, and thankfully there were no outside interests that parachuted in to disrupt things.

Most guns in downtown Richmond since the Yankees rolled in the morning of April 3, 1865. No violence either time though.

They estimate the crowd at 22K, I wonder how many were not Virginia voters. Interviews I saw looked like 1/3 to 1/2 were from out of state.

Small sample size. Media is going to seek out the "intruders."

Exactly why I asked the question

I didn't see a question mark.
Though I was in the city, I avoided the area. My observation is I haven't seen this much political "motivation" from locals in 12 years.
I heard the Recall Northam booth was busy all day long. I assume you need to be a registered VA voter to get on those petitions.

My two cents:
• The Virginia gun-owners were not who I was worried about;
• The governor was wise to implement the state of emergency to mobilize extra resources in advance and send a message to outsiders who might have thought they could cause problems;
• good work FBI arresting those three dudes in advance and also probably sending a message to other would-be troublemakers;
• I don't get the whole dressing-up-as-a-soldier thing when you aren't one.
