I got a little of something.

Actually, I have a lot, but I am determined to enjoy myself while I can. As Bob wrote, our backyard has been invaded. It's not pretty. I won't post links, but the following excerpts are from WaPo.
Video of the incident, which took place near the corner of 14th and U streets NW, shows a man in a pink collared shirt, shorts, crew socks and New Balance running shoes yelling at several law enforcement officers while holding a sandwich. As he turned to walk away, he hurled his hoagie at the chest of one of the officers and then ran off with the officers in pursuit. The video, which has gone viral, does not show the man being arrested.
The man was charged with a felony.

It gets worse.
Tensions over President Donald Trump’s deployment of federal law enforcement erupted on a busy Northwest Washington street Wednesday night as a mix of local and federal authorities pulled over drivers for seat belt violations or broken taillights while nearly 100 onlookers chanted: “Go home, fascists.”

The checkpoint, which appeared to begin around 8 p.m., included more than 20 law enforcement officers, many wearing face coverings and vests labeled “HSI” — Homeland Security Investigations. Some vests indicated agents were with Enforcement and Removal Operations, a branch of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that arrests and removes undocumented immigrants. They stopped dozens of cars at the busy intersection of 14th and W streets NW, in front of a popular chain bakery, a veterinary clinic and a high-end outdoor apparel store.

At least two people were detained — one man speaking Spanish was loaded into an unmarked black pickup, while a D.C. police truck towed the red Kia he had been driving. A woman was handcuffed while the crowd gathered on the sidewalks booed and yelled at officers to “read the Constitution.”


Checkpoints.
IN DC.

Carry your papers, especially if you are a darker shade of pale.

Fuck fascism.

There are plenty of people out there that do concealed carry - legal or otherwise.

I prophesy that it's only a matter of time before one of them decides to "stand his ground".
