Demonstrations by opposing armed groups in Virginia passed without incident

The demonstration organized in Richmond, Virginia, USA, with the weapons of a group that defends the right to arms and predominantly supports US President Trump and the group that defends the rights of black people was uneventful.

Washington DC

While preparations for the oath ceremony of Elected President Joe Biden under the shadow of the intense security measures taken in the capital Washington after the US Congress was raided, the city of Richmond, about 2 hours from the capital, witnessed demonstrations by opposing armed groups. Hundreds of demonstrators, who generally supported Trump and defended the right to arms under the Additional Second Article of the US Constitution, landed on the streets of Richmond with their weapons and demonstrated in front of the state legislature.

On the other hand, the other group calling themselves “Black Panthers” and defending the rights of black people organized an armed demonstration in Richmond for the Memorial Day for the black Martin Luther King, a symbol of civil rights in the United States.

While polarization was at its peak in the United States in recent days, these demonstrations raised concerns, but there were no incidents in the city, where strict security measures were taken.

The demonstration organized by Trump supporters in Washington on January 6 turned into violence when some activists entered Congress. During the demonstration, 5 people, including one of the police, were killed and many others were injured.

While the investigation and arrests of the incident were continuing, the armed group called “Proud Boys”, which supported Trump, announced that it would hold an armed demonstration in 50 states.

On the other hand, US security units sent 25,000 armed National Guard to Washington, the capital, upon the threat information received against Biden’s inauguration ceremony on January 20.
