The 20,000 National Guard troops preparing for pro-Trump demonstrations this weekend in the nation's capital will be armed and permitted to use lethal force, the headquarters overseeing them says, marking a striking escalation in the way authorities there are preparing for repeat violence after last week's deadly mob.

"On January 12, 2021, National Guardsmen were given authorization to be armed in support of the U.S. Capitol Police to protect the U.S. Capitol and individual members of Congress and their staff," according to a statement from the D.C. National Guard, which is commanding Guard forces in the city, including units deployed from six other states, to provide security for President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration next week.

A defense official confirmed the authorization includes permission for Guard troops to use lethal force.

The request came from federal authorities and was approved by Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy who oversees D.C. Guard deployments since the District is not a state indicating it was not a request from the local government.

Hey Trump supporters, fuck around and find out if you want to keep fucking with America.

I suspect that things will turn out even worse for these dumpy looking pieces of white trash than they did for those dumpy looking pieces of white trash that tried to kidnap the Michigan governor:

Would they not be naturally already authorized to use it? Considering they're deployed (I'm assuming) currently to defend the fucking capitol building?

it's something different. they learned from last time then again most of the rioter's unarmed despite breaking many rules.
they did have a fire extinguisher in that case they had the right to use force.

If you protest, it's because you feel your voice isn't being heard. If you riot, it's because you feel your voice is being ignored.
