    Demonstrations have begun.. locals told to stay away..

    It has begun.. above are links to the four DC network TV stations.. DC is a news town, best up to date status may be local stations.. as of 6:00 PM only two arrests, both for firearms..

    Trouble usually occurs after the formal demonstration..

    Vandalized churches have police guards tonight..

    Locals advised to stay away..

    Just peaceful protests. Nothing to worry about

    My first reaction was to thank you for the chuckle.. but after watching the morning news.. was pretty quiet in The District last night.. only six arrests, again mostly firearms violations..

    On 11:00 PM news last night they showed much screaming and shouting and massive numbers of police, Metropolitan, Transit, US Park, Capital.. all out.. keeping same groups together and different groups apparent..

    This is simply sad---I am embarrassed that we have come to this.

    Protestors attempting to break down House chamber doors as lawmakers are being evacuated. This is not acceptable. I consider it an attempt at a revolution and those trying to break down the doors should be met with deadly force.

    Thank Trump for this, he called for it. He should be jailed pending trial.

    Why was DC law enforcement not prepared for this. They have known for many days that Trump called for it.

    I would never have thought I would witness anything like this in this country. We are watching anarchy brought on by the POTUS---this is so far beyond the bounds that we should all be appalled.

    ...and trump fiddles in the White House----any drop of blood will be on his hands-----

    Someone tell me trump isn't nuts! It is bad enough that he encouraged this with his despicable speech earlier---but to now sit by-----and watch this on TV is criminal---and that is NOT just a figure of speech.

    Capitol Police were caught by surprise.. they have never been attacked like this, even the Viet Nam protests..

    Local reports of the three big counties, Montgomery and Prince Georges MD and Fairfax Va mobilizing police units..

    This is not what we are---I am sitting here in tears watching this being live streamed. This will be trump's legacy---he has even gone beyond anything I expected---this is a crazy man.
