I'm at the Capitol for the reporter meet 'n greet, which is being held next to a huge police exercise, which is being held next to some sort of small protest rally.
There are definitely hundreds of *people* at the #justiceforj6 rally but in terms of the ratio of participants to media/counter-protestors/gawkers, let's put it this way: if you're a willing to spout off loudly about the election here's how many reporters will surround you. 
Girlfriend of Jonathan Mellis, in jail for assaulting police, says the Jan 6 protestors have been sent to a gulag and reads a letter from a woman imprisoned.
"This reminds me of how the Jewish people were treated by the Nazis," she reads. "Exactly!" someone in the crowd yells.

Some signs:
"GUILTY OF LOVING AMERICA"
"GTMO KILLERS SET FREE AMERICAN PROTESTORS UNLAWFULLY INCARCERATED"
"JUSTICE FOR ASHLI BABBITT and RELEASE for J6 POLITICAL PRISONERS"
"BLM RIOTERS NOT EVEN PROSECUTED"

Speakers emphasizing their respect for police, that this protest is peaceful. Much dunking on media for hyping this event up as violent.
Can't say they don't have a point. This morning I read a piece in a mainstream outlet about this being the most dangerous pro-Trump rally yet

Looks like a private security guard for CNN was taken into custody. Not sure why. No signs of any violence or tension.
An exchange of ideas, as the rally comes to a close.
