Thus far, the cool heads are prevailing and they're with the VCDL and the local LE that are face to face with them. FBI is just reacting as they would. The issue is probably not Northam personally; from their perspective, a Governor has declared a state of emergency and asked for Fed help.

The hottest heads actually continue to be most of the media, who for reasons best known to their handlers using them, continue to address this event with Charlottesville as an equivalent paradigm, which it certainly isn't. When they invoke Charlottesville as a baseline and call this a potential 2.0, they have thus given themselves license to all manner of hysteria.

As WOPR said: "The only winning move is not to play" (to their messaging)

From instapundit an elevated shot from the Pocahontas Building. It was mentioned that the crowd density pictured extends left & right even further as standing room permits. I've heard that most of the 2020 Dem candidates would love to have an audience this big.

My understanding was that many attendees did not enter into the designated area on the capital grounds due to it being "gun free" so the surrounding streets were full.

State legislators downplayed the turnout stating it was supposed to be much higher so it proves that Virginians want gun control.

It turned out extremely well

Makes perfect sense they would do that; sounds just like WaPo calling 1,000 random people in Fairfax county and what d'ya know? They all want more gun control laws.

However, a pretty solid estimate actually came from the UK Daily Mail coverage at ~22,000 and.... the Capital's own police department said 25,000.

Suck it Northam and the rest of Bloomberg's acolyte$. What if someone was hoping for a riot and nobody came? WRVA interviewed several people who don't even own a gun but said they were there because, to them, it was an overall larger human rights issue.

They have a near-term fight for sure. But it's up to Virginians to take their state back.

Here is the quote from the AP

“I was prepared to see a whole lot more people show up than actually did and I think it’s an indication that a lot of this rhetoric is bluster, quite frankly,” said Del. Chris Hurst,

If you consider the conservative numbers of 6,000 unarmed in the killbox (thought dems said fences were ineffective) and 16-19,000 outside the fence where the majority were armed. Good 1-2 Divisions worth of militia right there. Largest unorganized ARMED group peacefully grieving their differences.

Democrats - putting an entire demographic in a cage simply because they disagree with communist citizen disarming policy...
...illegal aliens cant be detained for international trespassing

Democrats - painting with a wide brush here - are treasonous by nature.
It's the new normal - get used to being forced to constantly work around a 0ne party.one criminal element party running the government.

Dont give in... just realize that America has to readjust to the new normal.

That TO&E occurred to me as well, especially after their own LE upped the 22K estimate to 25K. There's a fantasy CONOP in there somewhere...

Instead of admitting the obvious... I've heard people say that the reason things didn't get out of hand is because of the huge LE presence...

Guess they missed the large Sheriff contingent with the "We support the 2ndA" banner walking around.

While today’s gun rights rally at the Virginia Capitol was an incredibly peaceful event, there was one masked suspect who was arrested by police, and it turned out to be a far-left LGBT activist.

The Virginia Capitol announced on Monday that 21-year-old Mikaela E. Beschler was arrested at approximately 1:30pm at the 800 block of East Broad Street after being repeatedly warned not to use her bandanna as a mask. She has been charged with one felony count of wearing a mask in public as a result.

Just now seeing the headline description... Saw an image of the "person" flash by earlier today and executed the proscribed microaggression and misogynistic thought by assuming everything so stated and confirmed in this headline.

I'm really happy that there was no kind of violence nor inappropriate behavior (Nazi flags, etc) that the main stream sewer/media was able to jump on.

Now, the Virginians have a lot to do at the county level organizing, planning and generally getting in concert with their sheriffs.

The other thing Virginians can do on the heels of this successful rally is to use the momentum to get the recall petition signatures needed to get rid of the tyrant in the governor's taxpayer funded housing. Then start getting out the voters needed to turn back the communists tide rising in VA.

Assumptions borne out to not be assumptions = no intervention program required. It's Ok to be Ok.


(lmao that the arrest was not the guy who popped the red smoke at the end to rally everyone back to the buses - has a sweet ring to it.)
