'Clearly DC is now prepared for whatevs. I was approaching Stadium Armory and was confused by dozens of charter busses. Immediately thought, “Lord are the back??” 👀👀 Cleared the busses, and duh...large numbers of National Guardsmen arriving. As someone who grew up in DC, it’s not super unusual...we had 9/11, tons of protests over the last couple decades and scores of other events. But over the last year, it’s certainly seems that military presence has been increasing necessary.'
