#MillionMAGAMarch now on its way to the Capitol.
“Groypers! Groypers!” some chant as march approaches Capitol.

To be fair, it seemed a lot of people in the crowd didn’t participate in / understand this chant.
March is entering Capitol Hill and heading up to Supreme Court.

On Saturday, I filmed about 50-60 men march armed around the Capitol in Richmond. They believed they were defying an ordinance banning guns at protests.

I reached out to @RichmondPolice, who says it was a "gathering" that didn't meet the threshold of an event requiring permit. ImageImageImageImage
This is my thread from the day of the event.

“It’s meant to be a meaningful day, where the cops stand down and listen to us, and they don’t enforce the unconstitutional orders," said @realmikedunn at the time.

“And the city council gets pissed off."

This is the second time @realmikedunn has held what he says was a protest defying local gun laws and got away with it, where the police have then stated the ordinance didn't apply.

Today as Trump supporters held another "Stop the Steal" rally in Atlanta, GA, a coalition of armed leftist militia members, black-bloc clad antifascists, Refuse Fascism, and Black Lives Matter activists counter-protested. #AtlantaProtests

Footage by Joey Pluto for @N2Sreports
I suspect some might be confused by the outfit worn by a leftist militiaman, which some may mistake for a rightist one.

See the patch on their arm; rather than "Don't treat on me" it's a version of the "We will tread where there is inequality" patch.

The antifa led with a wall of rain barrels repurposed as shields toward the "Stop the Steal" rally taking place in Atlanta.

Behind a line of police officers, Georgia State Patrol also had men outfitted with gas masks, rifles, and grenade launchers (presumably for tear gas.)

Today "boogaloo boy" Mike Dunn led militia activists on an armed march in laps around the Capitol in Richmond, Virginia, where it's illegal to carry guns at protests, and it's illegal to carry 20+ round mags.

Police stood back and did not intervene as the group defied both laws.
Police monitored the area, many carrying long rifles themselves, but did not intervene as the "boogaloo boys" marched by them as well as signs reading "firearms prohibited beyond this point."

Other than pleasantries like "good morning," police didn't really speak to them.
Actually, earlier in the day, one officer approached the group of boogaloo activists, but he actually wasn't there for them.

The officer asked that a cameraperson filming them step down from the ledge he was getting an elevated shot from, because that was dangerous.

VIDEO THREAD: Trump supporters - some armed - gathered Saturday afternoon at the Capitol in Phoenix, Arizona for a "Stop the Steal" rally to express their belief that President Trump won re-election in spite of the news networks' consensus that Joe Biden won.
One man with a viking helmet and Q flag but no shirt explained that "They're trying to take way four more years!" and then described what he sees as examples of voter fraud, particularly "dead people voting."

He also claims millions of Trump votes were deleted.
Police interrupted the event, saying that the "Stop the Steal" activists didn't have a permit to use loudspeakers.

Some got frustrated and wanted to argue with officers, while others advocating obeying the police said "we cannot act like the Democrats!"

PHOTO THREAD: In addition to video, I also captured photos during and after yesterday's #MillionMAGAMarch.

As the event began, counter-protesters were confronted by Trump supporters, and policed stepped in between the two sides.

All photos available to license.
Thousands including Alex Jones surrounded by the Proud Boys marched from Freedom Plaza to the Capitol.
At the Supreme Court, Trump supporters were counter-protested by antifa activists who held a banner reading "Punch MAGA in the face."

Police faced riot shields toward the antifascists and for the most part kept the two sides seperate.

VIDEO THREAD: Earlier tonight, about 8:15pm or so, I arrived toward the tail-end of a fight between the Proud Boys and their opponents. Mace was in the air when I arrived.

One person appeared knocked out, taking about a minute to get up. Unclear which side.
"All commies are bastards!" chanted the Proud Boys.

Another fight broke out, but the person sparring with a Proud Boy ran away.

As some began chasing the man, another tried to stop them yelling, "No! It's a bad look!"

The fight didn't continue after a block-long chase.
As Proud Boys and Trump supporters marched on, antifascists did stand in their path, but police swiftly moved between the two sides, rendering violence between them basically impossible.

Proud Boys diverted and marched away chanting "fuck antifa!"
