| US Capitol locks down again: DC braces for 'Justice for J6' rally TODAY in support of rioters imprisoned after MAGA lawlessness as fences go up and police chief says 'we're not going to tolerate violence' | |

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
Dozens of dump trucks were driven in to form a barrier around the area ahead of the rally at 12pm. Around 700 Trump supporters and far-right activists are expected to descend on the West lawn of the Capitol for Saturday's rally to protest the federal charges that nearly 600 rioters have been slapped with over January 6. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger said at a press conference Friday the likeliest possibility for violence at the rally will be between protesters and counter-protesters who may show up, but that law enforcement will not allow things to escalate. He said their intelligence indicated three different groups - one of whom had a history of clashes - were talking of attending. He did not specify the groups. Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported that a Department of Homeland Security intelligence report warned of social media posts that discussed the possibility of storming the Capitol Friday night.
But the organizer of the rally, a former Trump campaign operative, said it would be a peaceful event. Matt Braynard, who is also the executive director of Look Ahead America, said the intent was to draw attention to the Trump supporters facing federal charges for their role on January 6. 'We look forward to having a very safe, peaceful expression of our First Amendment rights,' he said Friday morning on C-SPAN's 'Washington Journal.' He noted 'there's no intent for violence on our side.' He also said he's hired private security for rally. 'Yes a diplomatic security team but they're looped in with the Capitol Police Department and many of them are themselves, you know, ex-cops,' he said. Manger said they've had 'courtesy' conversations with rally organizers and he was aware they hired private security. Braynard said his private security team would not be armed. He also said he's asking attendees to film any encounters they have at the rally. 'I believe it's my responsibility to do everything I can do to keep every one of our attendees safe and to do that, we're asking when people leave to leave in large groups, we're asking for people to, if you see anything at all suspicious to somebody acting oddly - look we've all got television studios, right here in our pocket, whip it out and start recording,' he said.

| #11 Apparently the few people who showed up were vastly outnumbered by the press, police and undercover feds. They amused themselves by playing "Who's the fed?" |

| #10 Any suicides by the Capitol Police or is it too early? I hate to be harsh, but I really don't want to see their weepy-ass faces on the news. |
