Justice for J6 Rally
- 700 expected, 450 people attended
- More police than attendees
- Police lines established between counterprotestors and rally, 7ft black fencing around capitol
- 4 arrests, 1 was an undercover cop with a gun
- "Biggest test of security" since January 6th
- Bike police, riot gear, regular cops, cops with dogs, Nat. Guard on standby
- Major camera upgrades are in place all around the capitol area

I don't know if any of these protests are necessarily relevant to this upcoming event. With all these events they were well publicised for months, they got permits, etc. I think it is safe to assume that if the police know we are coming, the situation will be even more secure than Feb 8th where they obviously outnumbered us. I would also assume they would not let us get anywhere near the capitol, and I would suggest that your route not try to end up where the speech was given last time.

If they don't end up knowing we are coming and there are no leaks, then there won't be any couter protestors and I would expect them to do alot of the same as Feb. 2020. I would imagine they would quickly erect police lines near the capitol that we are definitely not going to be crossing. I doubt they will be as welcoming as last time and invite us right up to the lawn. I would probably plan on doing a speech elsewhere.
