Too many showed up dressed and armed for a fight. Hard to believe that it wasn't co-ordinated.

They'll argue that they were expecting Antifa/BLM to be there attacking them. And for a lot of them, that would be true. They were told that leftists were burning down cities and that there would be war in the streets in DC for the country.

Always wonder how the 'burning down cities' myths took hold and persisted without external evidence...Some cities had nightly protests but none were 'destroyed' as I'd seen more than one person post.
