“Our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the January 6th protest concerning the Rigged Presidential Election,” he said. “In addition to everything else, it has proven conclusively that we are a two-tiered system of justice. In the end, however, JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!”
‘Do justice’
Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger faced his first major hurdle as the top official at a department plagued by mismanagement and a lack of preparation leading up to Jan. 6. In addition to erecting the fence, the force enlisted help from several law enforcement entities, including officers from the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department and from the police departments in Montgomery County, Md., and Arlington County, Va. The Pentagon also approved 100 D.C. National Guard troops to be on standby at the D.C. Armory in anticipation of the demonstration.
Leading up to the rally, a Capitol Police intelligence assessment noted that the force and other law enforcement agencies discovered increasing violent online chatter about the protest.
A discussion thread on the far-right site 4chan exhibited calls to “do justice” against “local jews and corrupted officials.” Further, it said the demonstration should be used as a way to participate in violent acts against local “Jewish centers and Liberal churches” while law enforcement is distracted. Another comment from the thread said, “I will be there with my AR15 even though legally I can’t have one f*** the Demonrats.”
Nine members of Congress were invited to attend the rally, but none appeared. Those invited were: Republican Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and Mike Lee of Utah; and GOP Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Madison Cawthorn of North Carolina, Paul Gosar of Arizona, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Matt Gaetz of Florida.
