FLASHBACK: Violent riots gripped DC during Trump’s 2017 inauguration

PM:

As people gathered in Washington, DC to witness and celebrate the inauguration of President Donald Trump in 2017, thousands of rioters and protestors spread out across the city, causing widespread damage and injuring officers.

Over 200 people were arrested during the riots. Police said that rioters damaged vehicles, ignited small fires, and destroyed multiple businesses, according to ABC News. Jack Posbiec of Human Events Daily brought the remembrance to Twitter.

Rioters set fire to newsstands and trash cans, and at one points set what appeared to be a stretch limousine on fire. The vehicle was also vandalized with the spray painted words “we the people.”

Protestors attempted to block access to security checkpoints set up around the perimeter to the inauguration celebration.

The #DisruptJ20 coalition promised the public that its participants would shut down the inauguration events. At one point, the group tussled with a support group of the former president, Bikers for Trump. more

  1. I was there. Dave, who was a pussy-hat supporter, suddenly became violent. He was tossing pussy-hats through barricades. That was a pretty wild couple of days. Wild, as in gay.

    “You wear a pussy-hat, Dave! What the fuck?”

    “They can’t stop me!”
