I thought I'd air this here before posting to TDW, in order to get some feedback. VCDL Lobby Day is a major 2A event, held yearly in Richmond, VA. Last year, there was between 50-100k armed Patriots who marched on RVA. Coonman freaked out and went under a state of emergency, effectively banning firearms from the capital grounds.
Fast forward to today. Coonman had the city issue permits 6 mo earlier than normal to anti-gun groups for Jan 18 2021. VCDL has decided to hold a vehicle parade instead, as Lobby Day couldn't get permitted. Given the current FBI "situation", this rally seems like a potential false flag waiting to happen.

Input wanted.
People should not go.
If anybody here knows anybody there, or can spread info through channels, they should get across the following message:
Stay. The fuck. Home. Peace and calm is what will help us get through this. Putting yourself in that ‘parade’ will be putting yourself in the crosshairs of hundreds of bad actors just looking for someone to harass into a confrontation.
People need to keep calm, sit on their fucking ass, and wait. Anything prior to January 23 is a fucking RED FLAG SITUATION. Bad people desire to cause AS MUCH CHAOS AS POSSIBLE before the inauguration, so that there is too much chaos for anything good to happen on the good guy’s side.
Have we not learned by now that every crisis is effectively utilized as a perfect week long diversion?
I get it. People love 2A. But there is no reason to go into the danger zone right now. Wait until the dust settles, get the current constitutional crisis over with, and wait EVERYTHING out before “protesting.”
By simply showing up where you know danger will of might occur, you are arguably invalidating your right to self defense in the court of law.
I can’t suggest peaceful waiting enough.
Honestly.
You want to be apart of something, do the right thing and stay calm.
