On a cloudy and humid Saturday afternoon, hundreds of right-wing demonstrators crowded in front of the US Capitol building for a so-called “Justice for J6” rally.
The gathering was seeking justice for people arrested for storming the Capitol on Jan. 6. According to the organizers of the event, the arrested individuals are political prisoners.
More than 600 people have been charged in connection with the deadly storming of the Capitol building which houses both House and Senate offices.
The rally area drew some 500 protesters who were almost outnumbered by law enforcement and press members.

At his address, organizer Matt Braynard, a former member of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, urged respect from demonstrators for police and press members.
“We don’t want any (violence) today,” said Braynard.
“This is about the many people who were there that day, who have not been charged with violence, not been accused of assaulting a police officer destroying property, and the disparate treatment that they’ve received. This is about equal treatment under the law,” he added.
On Jan. 6, when Congress convened to certify Electoral College votes of then-President-elect Joe Biden, a mob of former President Donald Trump’s supporters stormed the Capitol building.
Two law enforcement officers took their lives in the aftermath of the raid. Trump was accused of inciting deadly violence.

Jim Wass, a protester from Maryland state, said there was negligence and lack of security on the day of the Jan. 6 riots.
“I would like the judges who are sitting in judgment of these prisoners, these incarcerated people to stop saying they have to treat every insurrectionist with the most strict response and instead to admit there was no insurrection and you should go on the facts and law, not your fanciful argument about punishing people who are not on your political side,” he added.
After an hour of speeches by the organizers, the rally ended with no major incident. Only one man was arrested by the Capitol police among the protesters.
“At approximately 12:40 pm, USCP officers arrested a man, who had a knife, for a weapons violation,” the police later announced on Twitter.

they, Police, FBI, also arrested a person that had nail clippers on his person!! He will be jailed until he confesses!
OF the two arrested, one had a 4 inch knife.. The other was an undercover cop..
BUT I think a BIG PART OF the reason more didn’t show up, was because they KNEW IF THEY DID, the antifa/blm plants working with the corrupt as hell FBI, would have been there to ’cause issues’..
The forces in power, Democrats, are scared, the myths they created around an incompetent candidate are exploding all around them and even many Democrat faithful have doubts. There has been no conclusive answers to January 6, were thos attending the Donald Trump rally really responsible or were the coordinated outside forces to blame! They expected a riot and were ready for it, the media was hyped to do its finger pointing and the leader of each Congressional body was poised for a confrontaion with the spectre of Trump. Democrats gave a riot an no one showed up. Leftist groups such as Antifa and BoweLMovement, didn’t show themselves because there was no cover to hide their deeds. The media eas duped, again!
The Democrat faithful who only now begin to doubt gives me an image of the Titanic going down and a Dem in a lifeboat saying
“It isn’t really sunk until it touches bottom.”
I know they exist but how can a person see the events of the past eight months and not have some type of clue as to the direction we’re headed? ALL OF US!
Media. What media.. They are all propagandists for the marxists in office.
Same “RIOTERS” as Jan 6th, just no covering crowd to hide in…
The story spun by the liberal media about the January 6 event is illogical, at best. There is no way that a few hundred people, at most, could effect the overthrow of the federal government.
Instead, the feds MUST be made to obey the Constitution; which is a “radical idea” to the real insurrectionists, the unelected bureaucracy running wild trampling enumerated American civil rights.
Again, the problem was not a single day’s event by a few but the continuous offenses by tens of thousands of federal employees.
