The bused-in crisis actors and fake "white supremacists" are arriving. This tweet is from a reporter at The Guardian:

Still waiting in line to get into the captiol. Have seen about 7 big buses pull past so far.

Breitbart stream is from outside the grounds. Looks like a big turnout. Have seen no police presence or bad actors yet

And those are some really nice buses they're arriving on.   Only the best for the Soros thugs.

I was in Charleston, WV, on business a year or two ago, staying at the Marriott. Also staying at the Marriott: several dozens of anti-Trump protesters whose behavior indicated they weren't accustomed to staying at a decent hotel. The next morning, they boarded chartered motor coaches and traveled to the Greenbrier Resort (a couple hours' drive away) to protest Trump's visit. Gee, I wonder who paid for all that.

I'm enjoying seeing photos of Richmond. Mr. M and I go there nearly every November so he can run the marathon, and the starting line is not far from the Capitol. These are familiar scenes. Just hoping and praying everyone stays safe.

@mountaineer

I am hoping someone took note of the bus line,and posts the names of the people and/or organizations that chartered and paid for the buses.

BTW,am I the only one that is freaked out about all these people,some of whom HAVE to be yahoos,that are running around with magazines in their AR-15'S/M-4's? You just KNOW some of those magazines are loaded,and there is a round in the chamber. Granted,this isn't generally a problem with people used to handling and shooting firearms,but I wouldn't be afraid to bet that 20 percent of the AR-15/M-4 clones you see there are fashion accessories more than anything else,owned by people who have never been in the military,received any firearms safety training,or even shot the damn things.

If you don't believe this is dangerous,ask ANYBODY who has ever been in the military and worked a range,or taught firearms familiarization and shooting to soldiers that normally only see or handle their issue weapons once a year. No matter how many times you tell the bozos to leave the chamber empty and the safety on until they are on the firing line and ready to shoot,there will almost always be at least one SOB that didn't listen and you get an accidental discharge.

When you consider this is a crowd that almost certainly has fewer than 10 percent of the people carrying semi-auto rifles who were US Army or USMC infantrymen,I find that scary as hell.

He is lying. Maybe not intentionally,but it is a lie none the less. The most dangerous laws are the one that are only selectively enforced because Davy and Daisy Dolt are never subject to the enforcement,so as far as they are concerned,there is no injustice in them.

And you can bet the farm that over time the laws that are only occasionally selectively enforced will begin to be enforced more and more often,and eventually be accepted as a normal part of law enforcement. The "drip,drip,drip approach to totalitarianism",ie "When they came for the Jews,I didn't care because I wasn't a Jew.",etc,etc,etc.

Understand and agree with the selective law enforcement but I consider the constitution the supreme law of the land and gov black face is trying to get away with selective rights enforcement.

@EdinVA

True. This is what happens when you elect a spoiled frat boy as Governor that has a chip on his shoulder because his NYC friends make fun of his accent and called him a rube in college.

The sheriff may well be fired but I'm not sure if he is lying per se. He may not enforce the laws.

@sneakypete

Anyway, I want to read the detail of what the Governor is asking for.

It doesn't matter if he does or doesn't,the law is still on the books for the next sheriff to enforce. Selectively,or otherwise.

Here is some info on the bills...
Quote
SB 35, which would allow localities to ban guns from public events, actually would repeal the current law that restricts localities from enforcing ordinances that would prohibit the purchase, possession, transfer, ownership, carry, storage, or transport of firearms or ammunition.
SB 69, amends the current law, only allowing Virginia residents to purchase one handgun a month, or in a 30-day period.
And SB 70 requires a background check on all private transfers of firearms.
