Capitol Police bracing for 'Justice for J6' rally in support of Jan. 6 alleged rioters

The U.S. Capitol Police are preparing in advance of a rally slated to be held Saturday by Trump supporters in support of those arrested in connection with the deadly Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol after law enforcement leaders were caught off-guard at the time.
The "Justice for J6" will be held at the Union Square plaza on the west lawn of the Capitol and is being put on by Look Ahead America, led by Matt Braynard, an ex-campaign employee for former President Trump.
Fencing will be erected around the Capitol ahead of the rally, Capitol Police Chief Thomas Manger said Monday. Security fencing was initially erected days after the violent Capitol breach that occurred just after Trump held a large rally in an effort to overturn his election defeat.

"We are here to protect everyone's First Amendment right to peacefully protest," Manger said in a statement. "I urge anyone who is thinking about causing trouble to stay home. We will enforce the law and not tolerate violence."
Saturday's gathering is intended to support those arrested in the wake of the riot and to demand justice for Ashli Babbitt, a California woman who was fatally shot by a Capitol Police officer. The USCP officer who shot her will not face disciplinary action.
At least five police officers who responded to the riot have taken their own lives in the months since. The USCP said over the weekend it has recommended disciplinary action in six cases after an internal review of officer behavior on Jan. 6.
More than 700 people have since been arrested in the wake of the attack, the Justice Department said. The attack occurred as lawmakers were certifying President Biden's election victory, thereby interrupting a peaceful transfer of power. The angry mob swarmed the building, prompting lawmakers and staffers to flee, and engaged in violent confrontations with law enforcement officers.
In a video, Braynard called those facing charges for their alleged actions during the deadly riot "political prisoners," saying they have been treated unfairly. He urged anyone planning on attending Saturday's event to behave peacefully.
In an effort to not be caught flat-footed, the USCP said Monday it has issued an emergency declaration that will go into effect at the start of the rally. The declaration will allow Capitol Police leaders to deputize outside law enforcement officers. In addition, the USCP has obtained additional equipment and created an incident response plan.

On Monday, Manger, along with the sergeants-at-arms in both chambers on Congress, briefed lawmakers on intelligence gathered ahead of the event, The Hill reported.
"They seemed very, very well prepared — much better prepared than before Jan. 6. I think they're ready for whatever might happen," Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said.

So, "Justice for J6" is going to have a rally in DC Saturday. Schumer say's we will be very well prepared. Are they going to be prepared for the violent groups that will inevitably show up looking to confront the "Justice" group?
Or are they only going to arrest those who are holding the event?
I personally think this group is destined for a lot of trouble. My hunch is they have already been infiltrated by the FBI.
... her justice has been served.
I think if this get together turns out to be peaceful and respectful, the left will be so demoralized and have apoplectic fit. I will laugh my head off!
Peaceful and respectful? This bunch? That makes me laugh my ass off right now.
I’m sure the left will do all they can to provoke something that day.
I have very little doubt of that.
"America's main fear:"
"The domestic terrorist"
Exactly! I put up a seed today showing that a majority of democrats fear you and I and people like us as the biggest threat to the country. Much bigger than Islamic terrorism or China or Russia.
And you know who else they fear? The guy they can't stop talking about.
BTW, tomorrow's the big day for all of you in the Golden State.
We don't need an anti vaxer trying to turn our state into another FL. Elder can pound sand.
California leads the nation in covid deaths.
Nice try!
That is a willful misrepresentation, technically a big fat lie. California is the most populous state but does not have a high Covid-19 death rate. You know better but are willing to misrepresent to make your case. BAD FORM!
"COVID-19 death rates in the United States as of September 13, 2021, by state
Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the U.S.
Number of COVID-19 deaths in the United States as of September 13, 2021, by state. Statistics on "Coronavirus (COVID-19) in New York - U.S. overview"
That's true XX. We don't fear 'you and I'
We fear the domestic terrorist scum. Who are the greatest threat to the US.
"We don't need an anti vaxer trying to turn our state into another FL. Elder can pound sand."
HE LOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder. He was backed by nothing but losers and liars and he's a loser and liar too.
The moron was claiming fraud even before the election.
PROVE IT ELDER!
Thanks for the actual truth and facts JBB!
Never mind trying to dilute it..California had the most deaths.
Truth and facts are very inconvenient to some.
My mistake - Newsome didn't win yet.
Although the idiot Elder is already claiming fraud, just in case.
I hope California hands him his arrogant ass.
Your own link shows the numbers per capita which you've ignored. New Jersey leads statistically with California being number 34 down the list, PER CAPITA.
He didn't say per capita. He said total deaths but keep spinning ........ maybe someone not already predisposed on this topic will actually fall for it.
Spinning ?? The total number of deaths doesn't mean anything unless you take population into account. (major eye roll).
You were being misleading and you knew it!
Yes spinning.
Vic didn't mention per capita. He mentioned total deaths. Then the liberal dog-pile redirect jumped on and started spinning something he didn't even mention. Yourself included.
And don't hurt yourself because i am impervious to eye rolls ......especially major ones ....
No he wasn't. He said what he said and it is the truth. The gang here just tried to redefine what he said and failed.
Quite miserably i might add.
You're embarrassing yourself. You try to defend Vic's stupid comment with an even more stupid comment. You're not helping, lol.
You are wrong. It's sad when good people can't admit when they're wrong. I am very sad for you pat.
Very sad
meh, it didn't work for the white guy the thumpers were all gaga about 10 months ago...
He may as well have compared covid deaths between CA and the moon. It would have equal significance.
Wrong that total deaths in a state is meaningless with out context of total population ?
I'd suggest you quit while you're ahead but you've never been ahead.
When you have the largest state by population then of course we have more deaths...DUH!
And yet, that is still misinterpreting what Vic said. If he wanted to say per capita, he would have said per capita. Period. Full stop.
I'd suggest you start being more honest with yourself. I stand by everything i've said here. It is all based on fact and not on some disingenuous deflection of what was said or what someone else thinks should have been said.
What about your nasty, insulting, ignorant comment?
The idea that it's natural to have more deaths because there are more people is meaningless.
The state of Florida has more people than the state of New York, yet New York had more deaths!
NY state just cleared out a bunch of their pensioners.
Helps with their their massive unfunded pension liability problem don't you know!
That's one way of doing it.
Your original post declares California has more deaths than any other state. True but it is also #34 in deaths per capita. Obviously California has done a better job at keeping covid deaths at bay than 33 other states. You fail to grasp the idea of context here.
All from your own link Professor, lol.
What nasty insulting ignorant comment? Pat and I may not agree on some things but she has never been nasty, ignorant or insulting. NEVER.
I call 'em as I see 'em.
Florida is 21 and change population. New York is 19 and change . millions
New York has had 55 thousand covid deaths , Florida has had 49 thousand.
These numbers are in the same ballpark to one another.
There is something interesting though.
Here is the graph of New York covid deaths
and here is the same type of chart for florida
Since Jun 30, 2020 New York deaths have risen by about 25,000.
Since Jun 30, 2020 Floridas deaths have risen by about 45,000.
What would this mean? The bulk of the New York deaths came before the most optimal treatments for covid had been worked out. They were on the front line of creating treatment because they had so many cases so early.
Florida doesnt really have that excuse.
New York had roughly the same amount of covid deaths in the first 3 months of the pandemic as it has had in the next 14 months combined.
Floridas biggest surge (from 40 to 49 thousand) has been relatively recently.
(2) covid cases florida - Bing
(2) covid cases new york - Bing
You'll find out
And we should all have the same right!
I never said anything about Pat. I characterized her comment, like she did with mine!
I'm only trying to teach. Thanks for the promotion.
Nope, the only one failing quite miserably here is you and all the other spin masters.
Yes it is, especially when certain folks are ALWAYS WRONG. Good people? Pat, yes.
Some folks are immune to learning.
Many of them have cloudy eyes and hearts full of hate for anyone not of like mind.
They are .... unteachable.
The old wordsmith might call them "incorrigible." I have an old friend who trains Dobermans. He sometimes has the same problem.
The right wingers on Newstalkers, and everywhere, spend most of their time complaining that they are not being treated fairly.
They are treated fairly based on their comments but that is not good enough for them.
CNN calls it "grievance."
Tell us John, why would people be happy about rising crime, rising inflation (now about 5.5%), Open borders, an insane withdrawl from Afghanistan, a treasonous General and the attempted indoctrination of our children and the US military?
Did anyone vote for any of that?
Your biases precede you John ...... bigly.
If these fools think they can win, they need to think again. This time LEO's will be locked/loaded and this shit will not be tolerated.
May the same apply to the next BLM/Antifa "mostly peaceful protest".
Exactly, as it should be.
If only the same could be said for LEO's dealing with violent protestors and looters.
That type of lawlessness would stop cold if some of those shitbirds got whacked and stacked in the act.
Center Mass ..... double tap ..... done
Newsflash Ronin....you are on ignore so replying to any comment I make is a waste of time.
"My hunch is they have already been infiltrated by the FBI."
So the 'deep state' has infiltrated the FBI????????????????????????????????????????????????
What is the 'deep state'?
Clearly for Qanon believers and other right wing conservatives it's either a 'deep state' of denial or 'deep state' of psychosis.
That's exactly what Babbit and all those scum who 'stormed the Capitol' 'It's a revolution' are - domestic terrorist scum.
Those domestic terrorist scum who are still in jail need to remain there until trial.
AGREED!!!
The current domestic terrorists in jail from 6 Jan will be getting some new cell mates. They can cry on each other's shoulders.
deadly Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol
Deadly? One person killed and she was shot by law enforcement. The stupid on this one is running full speed.
Six hundred have been arrested for violent crimes.
None of those were members of ANTIFA or BLM...
Not to be picky BUT OVER 600.
Doesn't make it deadly.
Which explains the lack of arson, looting and murder among the protestors.
One was killed by LE. One died from cardiac arrest due to being continuously tased. 4 Capital Police have committed suicide from the PTSD they suffered from that day. How many should have died for you to classify it as deadly? Even if only the one dumb bitch was the only one who died, the root word of deadly is dead, so it was deadly.
Not during the protest. FFS the left claims PTSD over Trump winning the election. NEXT!
Every hear of "22 a Day"? 22 Veterans commit suicide A DAY. Nothing said, nothing done to slow it aside from lip service. But I'm supposed to give a rats ass about somebody who opened the doors and gates during a fucking protest?
You can't fix stupid.
My personal opinion is that they need to line up12 Humvees with M134's and if any thing happens , deal with it. (Should have done that on Jan. 6 too and put an end to all this bullshit insurrection talk.)
That should happen at the next BLM/Antifa "mostly peaceful" protest.
What is good for one side is good for the other.
It is past time for this shit to end.
Of all those arrested for violence at Trump's Save The Steal Rally on January 6th zero were members of ANTIFA OR BLM. Not One!
You cannot POSSIBLY know that for sure.
Correct. So why state it at all? It is bullshit. Those that continually display this comment use it as some sort of virtue signal that "their" people are pure as the driven snow. And it isn't provable. Either way.
Actually, we do know that for absolute sure...
A comment that completely destroys any credibility you might of had on this topic.
Which was long gone already…
Of course we can KNOW THAT FOR SURE.
I guess we can write this off as a peaceful protest on behalf of those rotting in jail. The left wing groups didn't show up and now MSNBC has stopped covering it.
There were more cops and plain clothed federal thugs there than peaceful protesters. Likely more media than both combined. They said there were fewer peaceful protesters than members of congress.
