Folks attending the Second Amendment rally at the Capitol grounds in Richmond, Virginia on Monday will be barred from exercising their Second Amendment rights and corralled into a chain-link “pen” with only one entrance and exit. From The Washington Post: This is what it looks like inside the rally zone. pic.twitter.com/DRIAYISToL — Ford Fischer (@FordFischer) January 19, 2020 Outside the Capitol, authorities used tall chain-link barriers to create a pie-shaped pen for the rally. The area takes up about a third of Capitol Square, a manicured park dotted with monuments to figures ranging from Native Americans and George Washington to a segregationist governor and civil rights leaders. The monuments were protected with additional fencing, as was the Executive Mansion to the east. The square is usually open on all sides to foot traffic. Under Northam’s emergency order, access is restricted to one spot, at 9th and East Grace Streets. Just inside that entrance, the crowd will be split into 17 lines for screening with metal detectors. Anyone attempting to bring in weapons will be turned away, but police will not confiscate those items, officials have said. Demonstrators who do not want to part with their guns may remain armed on city streets. Authorities say they will cut off admission to the rally once the crowd hits a certain number, which they have declined to disclose. […] Gov. Ralph Northam (D) last week declared a state of emergency and issued a ban on firearms or other weapons on Capitol grounds. The state Supreme Court upheld the ban after a challenge by two gun rights groups. The Federal Aviation Administration has issued temporary flight restrictions for Richmond airspace, making it illegal to fly planes or drones above the city on Monday. Northam has said officials are concerned about threats from weaponized drones. Sounds like freedom! More gates are being put up after Governor Northam announced a State of Emergency. pic.twitter.com/etmeo3ayGo — Taylor Coleman (@TaylorColemanTV) January 17, 2020 “Suddenly, Democrats like walls and putting people in a cage,” Red Nation Rising said on Twitter. Ford Fischer is doing on-the-ground reporting ahead of the event: This is where they intend to screen people on their way in. It looks like seven metal detectors for a TSA-style procedure. pic.twitter.com/xd4y1frSSO — Ford Fischer (@FordFischer) January 19, 2020 Meanwhile, cops set up caution tape to designate exits that will be closed off. pic.twitter.com/othEaq6Oqw — Ford Fischer (@FordFischer) January 19, 2020 An armored vehicle dubbed “The Rook” was reportedly seen being wheeled in for the event: The Rook, designed by Ring Power Corporation. Congratulations to Police State and Ring Power Corp. for taking taxpayer money to build weapons which are then used to assault the taxpayers pic.twitter.com/3JCy9MetKV The media and Governor are doing their best to hype the event as Charlottesville 2.0: BREAKING: Fearing a repeat of the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam plans to declare a temporary emergency Wednesday banning all weapons, including guns, from Capitol Square ahead of a gun extremist rally planned next week. #valeg https://t.co/EWrasEiczI — Shannon Watts (@shannonrwatts) January 15, 2020 State officials and U.S. hate-monitoring groups are warning about the potential for violence ahead of a gun-rights rally in Richmond tomorrow that’s expected to draw a mix of militias, firearms advocates and white supremacists https://t.co/6DbfTMtX97 — NBCWashington (@nbcwashington) January 19, 2020 The FBI arrested four people ahead of the event they claim were threatening violence against antifa (threatening antifa appears to be the number one way to get arrested by the FBI): BE careful out there! 💥Three men who reportedly have ties to a neo-Nazi group and had allegedly discussed attacking a Virginia gun rally next week were arrested and charged with breaking federal gun and immigration laws on Thursday. https://t.co/jmoxHvZ7nr Police in Georgia say three men linked to a violent white supremacist group have been charged with conspiring to commit murder. https://t.co/90bWabL9On — The Associated Press (@AP) January 18, 2020 Tons of folks on right-wing Twitter are warning of potential false flags: False flag semi confirmed pic.twitter.com/caqvrl6tIO — Roosh (@rooshv) January 19, 2020 This is “Democracy in America” in 2020, folks!
