We can't have white ISIS trying to take over our state capitol.

Thank goodness Trump has told his followers that violence and property destruction are unacceptable.

Looks like the "gun tot'n" Trump crowd will be coming to town to let everyone know they have the right to bear arms. Not really worried about most of them but alas, your gonna get some in that crowd that will want to get in a fight no matter what happens. If it does, then you can pin it on Trump and is ilk. After all, the party of personal responsibility chooses not to exhibit much when given the chance.

They’ll do what they always do. If trouble breaks out they’ll blame it on ANTIFA and not the Gravy Seals, Qanon kooks, or Trump bootlickers.

Yeah, that is what happened last year. 20000 legally armed Virginians coming to petition the GA with their concerns. Not one arrest. But look at what happened in May. Stores vandalized, stuff stolen. And that was just what my liberal friends called "opportunists". Wonder who who sent fire to the GRTC vehicles and the city trucks? Nothing for the opportunists to steal there. All of the windows broken in the VCU area and all along the" peaceful "march? What happened to those 234 folks arrested? Think the Mr Stoney will ever release that information? Think the RTD might even ask? The folks who violated the Capitol in DC should be arrested and if convicted, do the time for what they have done, My guess many thought it was not a big deal They were wrong. But the City of Richmond owes an explanation for those arrested for the violence in Richmond. Any journalists outside of the RTD who can take this up? It certainly does not interest the RTD and their new agenda .And as for you PM, you must be of the same ilk that rioted in Richmond. Sad.

Like the other Trumpers you try to compare the BLM protests with what happened in the Capitol....Thats a nonsensical equivalence.....A better comparison is the Michigan armed thugs that invaded their state capitol....Another good comparison was the MAGATS who plotted to kidnap and execute Governor Whitmer....I expect that Manu states will ban guns in public government buildings in the coming months...You all will complain and wail...After Wednesday no one cares what the Trump supporting gun nuts think

Give us one time that any gun owner was arrested, or that the police had any problem with them at any VCDL Lobby Day rally. You can't name one. In fact, there has never been a problem with the thousands of armed Americans at those rallies and after, the grounds and streets were always cleaner! Your comparisons of the law abiding Americans at the Lobby Day rallies, to law breakers is typical of your ignorant anti-American mindset. BTW, you know that ordinance banning guns at events? It is moot, because the events are cancelled, therefore the signs banning guns are meaningless! BWAHAHA! Unlike you, (our local Marxism pusher) we care about your rights and will protect them. Unlike you, we will even protect what you think, because we are Americans and it's what we do.
