Trump Releases Statement Supporting Tomorrow’s ‘Justice for J6’ Rally and Capitol Police Aren’t Playing Around

By

As near all know, Saturday, September 18th is the day of the first post 1/6 MAGA protest in Washington. The very fact that MAGAs would even consider congregating under one banner at the scene of the last crime gives whoever is watching an indication as to just how entitled these people feel.

If we reversed roles and BLM had been the ones that ransacked the Capitol and proposed a rally on Saturday, no one with an out of state license plate would be allowed in the district and anyone black would be kept a mile from the Capitol.

The MAGAs got a permit for 700 people.

In any normal scenario, where Trump still “sort of” faces criminal exposure over what happened the last time his army marched on the Potomac, one would think that Trump would be slightly reticent about supporting yet another rally. Of course, it is silly to even bring up “normal” and “Trump” in the same sentence. Indeed, Trump has endorsed the protest and that has Capitol police furious. The last time Trump “endorsed” a protest at the Capitol…

From Mediaite:

Manger was asked if he was “factoring in the former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric” into their security planning ahead of Saturday’s rally, as Trump released a Thursday statement saying, “Our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the January 6th protest.”

“In addition to everything else, it has proven conclusively that we are a two-tiered system of justice,” Trump added. “In the end, however, JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!”…

Manger, the head of the Capitol police said that he’s more concerned about violence among counter-protesters than the MAGAs alone (Evidently, this person was not alive on January 6th), but did note that Trump’s endorsement of the rally makes clashes between protestors that much more likely.

“What we are concerned about, I think, more than anything is the possibility of counter-demonstrators, and making it to this demonstration, and there being violence between those two groups,” Manger said, adding, “That is, in my opinion, the most likely scenario for violence.”

Well, we at this site are not security experts, nor police. But we do have televisions and computers. And we know that BLM and “leftists” protested in Washington a lot last year and the only violence that resulted came from uniformed stormtroopers without names and badges. So, to the extent the chief is worried about violence among protesters, we suggest he watch the folks already proven to be violent.
