"We want to shut down the inauguration," organizer David Thurston told a news conference. "We want to see a seething rebellion develop in this city and across the country."

I would love to see the inauguration completely shut down. But, through peaceful protests. Trump will still be President. We can't change that. But with enough peaceful disruption, perhaps no one could hear the event.

WTF do they need to protect themselves from? It's not like they'll be wandering around in Anacostia. They'll be on the freaking Mall! What a bunch of cowardly babies.

You clearly haven't been in DC since 1980s.

Tell that to the 135 mom's whose kids were killed in DC last year.

Stay your fat, pasty ass at home in your trailer, then.

In related news, they're also panicked about the amount of mace and Birkenstocks being brought into the city on the 21st.

I think it's a reasonable concern.

Compared to many other cities DC is doing quite well

Good maybe they can help the inept mayor and her clown of a police chief get the crime under control.

Wonder why you didn’t post a link, OP.

Oh, now I see.... it was BuzzFeed. No wonder.

Police Worry Radical Trump Backers Will Bring Guns To Inauguration
Concerned that white supremacist supporters of President-elect Trump could bring concealed weapons to Washington, DC next week, city officials are warning there will be consequences.

According to a DC police department source familiar with preparations for the Jan. 20 inauguration, the department is particularly concerned that members of white supremacist groups and other radicals who backed Trump may be carrying concealed weapons to protect supporters — and Trump — from protesters.

Second Amendment and so-called “open carry” activists were a common sight at Trump rallies and at the Republican National Convention in 2016 — in states where it was legal to do so. Because the District does not allow open carry, and weapons aren’t permitted at the inauguration, such demonstrations aren’t expected.

Although open carry activists often draw media attention for displaying their weapons, neither they nor Second Amendment activists more broadly are typically a concern for law enforcement, in large part because they take great pains to stay within the bounds of the law.

Rather, the bigger concern for law enforcement are any inauguration attendees who may come with illegally concealed firearms with the purpose of protecting themselves.

A Metropolitan Police Department spokesperson Tuesday told BuzzFeed News the department is “[b]aware of various groups planning on exercising their First Amendment rights. Although we do not discuss operational strategy or tactics, MPD is prepared to both protect the rights of individuals to exercise their First Amendment rights and ensure public safety.”
