state capitols leading up to Biden's inauguration

A new FBI bulletin warns that "armed protests" are expected to take place at the US Capitol and state capitols across the country leading up to Inauguration Day.

The protests "are being planned at all 50 state capitols from 16 January through at least 20 January, and at the US Capitol from 17 January through 20 January," said the bulletin, which was first obtained by ABC News reporter Aaron Katersky.

Katersky tweeted that according to the bulletin, one group is calling for "storming" local, state, and federal courthouses and buildings if Trump is removed from office before Inauguration Day. And the bureau also said it has "received information about an identified armed group intending to travel to Washington, DC on 16 January."

The group has "warned that if Congress attempts to remove POTUS via the 25th Amendment a huge uprising will occur," Katersky tweeted.

1. These rioters could be met with deadly force by law enforcement

charged with protecting people and places. Do they realize that, or is the seditious fantasy so great that they don’t care?

[maddogesq]

10. When we allowed the cult to brandish weapons at places...

like inside the Michigan Capitol, we bought this trouble that is coming.

Ladies and gentlemen, if we allow school bullies to act out on continuous basis without fear of repercussion, the bullies aren't just going to Pollyanna disappear and their behavior will only get worse.

I was bullied as a young lad and as an adult in the workplace. I get the psychology of the bully, and I will tell you we should have squashed this far sooner than now.

[iluvtennis]

14. I feel you on the bully. But it's not too late to stop these jackasses. nt

[marble falls]

22. Trump hires and attracts the incompetent. If they were capable of critical thought, ...

... last Wednesday would have been even so much worse.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. I certainly hope so

[Thekaspervote]

2. Law enforcement, Ntl guard troops, state and local police will be waiting in force

They are foolish to think they can go up against the military and the sheer number of law enforcement that will be present

[Gore1FL]

12. I hope, but I thought that on 1-6, too.

They will lose in the end, but I have my concerns this will turn into a loosely coordinated assaults and standoffs around the country that last for days.

[Mr.Bill]

18. Except now I'm starting to wonder

how many of the Capitol police were on their side on the 6th. And I wonder the same about any police department.

[hadEnuf]

3. Oh really?

The group has "warned that if Congress attempts to remove POTUS via the 25th Amendment a huge uprising will occur," Katersky tweeted.

They are going to riot if we get rid of the one who encourages them to riot?


Frig them. The real "good guys"will be armed too and ready to defend the country.

[thesquanderer]

20. plus Congress can't remove him via 25th. Only Pence and his cabinet can.

In theory, some other body approved by Congress could, but no such body exists.

[hadEnuf]

23. These terrorist slimeballs think they have everyone intimidated now.

[Dawson Leery]

4. There will be no choice but to take them down en masse if they attack.

[Chainfire]

5. And how should the Congress react to ultimatums from terrorists?

It is going to come to the point where we have to see how "huge" the problem really is, and deal with it in a way that will get their attention. Terrorist, regardless of where they are from, should be dealt with as terrorists. Until we do, all of the rest of us are in danger.

[RockCreek]

11. This!

Any congressperson who does not vote to impeach, cabinet member or VP unwilling to vote for the 25th, etc due to fear of repercusions from terrorists is engaging in " negotiating with terrorists", giving in to terrorist threats, etc.
That's a great look, Repugs!!

[RAB910]

6. Antifa?

[FloridaBlues]

7. We all know rump won't be removed via 25th.

Do you think they will still create riots? Seeing he still in office until the 20th.

[Phoenix61]

8. They have misjudged the situation.

It was one thing to spew violent vitriol quite another to kill a police officer, attempt to injure elected officials, and desecrate the capital building. I believe they will be treated like the violent domestic terrorists they are.

[groundloop]

9. Benedict Donald has certainly emboldened those motherfuckers to come out from under their rocks

Now, unfortunately, we've had four years of racism and hatred being "OK" and those racists have had more opportunity to indoctrinate others. While they had to keep to themselves there fewer opportunities for them to spread their hatred.

[Politicub]

13. In addition to rounding up people, I'm guessing the FBI is also rounding up electronic devices.

And issuing national security letters across the digital spectra.

President Biden is keeping Christopher Wray in place, which is a vote of confidence for his abilities in running the bureau.

With the arrests, interrogations and searches, the smart folks still left at the FBI should be able to suss out the networks of domestic terrorists and intervene.

[TeamPooka]

15. If they show up I hope LEO puts them down like rabid dogs.

[LiberalArkie]

16. If they are true in that all the Democrats are canabals that worship satan, then they better

worry about what should they be marinaded in, and for how long, what temp and how long they should be cooked and most importantly: what wine and cheese should be served also.

[Midnight Writer]

17. After ten days of watching what these idiots did to the cops in DC, I doubt local cops

will be so reluctant to use force.

[C Moon]

19. Of course they don't want Trump removed from office early. They want pardons.

[marble falls]

21. What a great way to round these asses up.

[Blue_Tires]

24. God, I'm going to have to drive to Richmond to knock some heads

Or at least I would if Covid inactivity didn't make me a slow flabby mess...

[DeLurkor]

25. Twitter HQ Protest Fizzle

For what its worth, according to SF Gate the "Massive Protest" at the Twitter HQ was a complete dud. The only protester was an anti-T***p person.

[Scalded Nun]

26. Start putting them down as soon as they show up with weapons drawn.

Lock up any survivors, try them and put them away for at least 10 years.

I am so fucking tired of these chickenshit, idiot, treasonous assholes.

[yellowdogintexas]

27. Arm the Nat'l Guard with tranq darts loaded with enough Thorazine to drop a horse

Get out there and start before they get within 1/2 mile of the Capitol
Block 'em and drop 'em and drag them off

[yaesu]

28. I don't think repuke terrorists will try another Capital Hill attack but they will probably be doing

little proxy wars all over the country attacking state capitals, politicians homes, ect... They need to be put on the terrorist watch list.

[thecrow]

36. Maybe being on the no fly list

because of terrorism will keep some of them away from DC.
But their hometowns?

[rickyhall]

29. Might have to let the small fry go to make room for the Trump Traitors in the Klink.

[LiberalLovinLug]

30. I don't want anyone injured, and I'm not advocating they go through with it but...

If they do, in multiple States, it will put the final nails in the Trump coffin. And will re-up the pressure on Cruz and Hawley and the other R traitors to resign.

[BigmanPigman]

31. DU was discussing all of this months and months ago.

We knew this was going to happen, even the part about questioning military and police support.

[trof]

32. I don't see this happening in Alabama.

What's to protest here?
AL repugs back Donnie Two-Scoops to the hilt.

[Aussie105]

33. SDA

SDA = Seriously Deranged Anarchists.

Now that we know how many SDA are out there, what their aims are and what they are capable of, every state Capitol should man up, arm up, and put defensive positions in place.

Let there be clear warnings and boundaries where, if the SDA breech them, the response escalates. From water cannon, tear gas, flash-bang grenades, to live rounds.

They are threatening Civil War. The response needs to be clear and appropriate.

EDIT: Members of the deployable defensive forces should be given the opportunity to 'opt out' of involvement if they feel they cannot carry out that job. With a 'Stay home, we will ask you why later' follow up promised.

[Evolve Dammit]

35. They may have as much firepower as the NG in some states. We will see it unfold. Damn. nt

[badboy67]

37. Lock 'em up
