Build That Wall? DC Mayor Announces 7-Foot Non-Scalable Barrier to be Built Around Capitol Following Trump Mob’s Attack


December 7, 2021


Washington D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser announced a new set of security measures that will be put in place following the siege on the U.S. Capitol Building by President Donald Trump’s supporters.

As Bowser held a press conference on Thursday with fellow city officials, she confirmed that a “non-scalable fencing” structure would be put up around the Capitol, and it “will be in place through inauguration.” The mayor also said she would increase guard strength personnel in preparation for the occasion.

Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy was also at the press conference, and he clarified that the fence would be 7 feet tall and will completely enclose the U.S. Capitol complex.

Hunger Games was just a movie.

Not too surprising.

From other discussion on this topic:

Mission accomplished.

How to solve a problem, Deep State style.

The Problem:
..

The Solution:
..

There maybe another aspect to problem-solution paradigm, though highly unlikely that any Trump insider people pre-planned or foresaw what is now coming:

Quote:
Generous amount of money soon will be allocated to boost capitol police, security forces and barricades. Not clear at this point if military gear coming home from Afghanistan, Iraq will be part of DC reinforcement initiatives being discussed in media.

Capitol secured after assault from Trump supporters

Thousands of National Guard members head to the Capitol to tamp down pro-Trump insurrection

• The National Guard was mobilized to the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday after pro-Trump rioters overran the building during the Electoral College vote count.
• Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan also said their states would send their National Guards.
• Trump supporters, who the president addressed earlier in the day, forced lawmakers to evacuate the Capitol and stop the formal count of the 2020 presidential Electoral College votes.

Trump had to be convinced to deploy the National Guard, a person familiar with the matter confirms to NBC News. Pence, who was moved to a secure location within the Capitol, was in contact with the Pentagon and “encouraged a much more rapid deployment,” the person added.
The Pentagon did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.

Virginia Gov. Northam is sending the National Guard, state troopers to D.C.

The irony:

WASHINGTON, DC - JANUARY 06: A protester yells inside the Senate Chamber on January 06, 2021 in Washington, DC. Congress held a joint session today to ratify President-elect Joe Biden's 306-232 Electoral College win over President Donald Trump. Pro-T

Smells like Hegelian Dialectic. What are they preparing for that needs to wall off the Capitol? If they're so worried about inauguration day, just hold it somewhere televised. The parade and inaugural celebrations have already been cancelled. Somethin' stinky goin' on...

• Taxpayers will have to pay for the high levels of damage that rioters caused in the US Capitol on Wednesday because the site isn't covered by insurance, industry sources told Reuters.
• "Taxpayers will be on the hook for repairs to the Capitol," Stephen Ellis, the president of the watchdog Taxpayers for Common Sense, said after the building was left covered in litter, graffiti, and broken glass.

Cleaning up trash, replacing a few windows and cleaning some graffiti would otherwise require an insurance claim? Huh? Sounds like a crony will get rich billing taxpayers $12,000,000 to sweep up some broken glass and scrub some paint off. The theft continues unabated.

To be devil's advocate, some experts used to say that 'broken windows' spurred economic actvity.
But good point you raise.

We will be paying to rebuild Portland, Seatel, LA NYcity too FWIW
