ARMED MILITARY SNIPERS THREATENING MARCHERS IN DC [View all]

My daughter just called me from the No King's March in DC. She is in front of the Smithsonian Art Museum -- the one with the sharp angles in the building. National Gallery of Art, East Building -- 4th and Constitution

There are troops with rifles on bipods, on the edge of the roof, with weapons pointed in all directions.

Snipers.
