The center of unrest has now become metropolitan Washington.
The rebels again tried to storm the White House – this time they threw police cordons with Molotov cocktails. Over 60 Secret Service employees were burned and injured.
The legendary parish of the Episcopal Church of St. John was burned – it is called the “presidential parish”. Built by James Madison in 1816, it was the main place for prayers for almost all US presidents.
The incumbent American president spent several hours in an underground bunker under the White House lawn. During the 9/11 attacks, George W. Bush also took refuge there.
The rioters also captured and set fire to the building of the American Federation of Labor – the Congress of Industrial Unions. This is the largest trade union organization in the United States and one of the main allies of the Democratic Party. As with the CNN headquarters in Atlanta, Democrat-grown hunweibs eventually began to smash them themselves.
Over one night, the number of protesters detained in US cities more than doubled, from 1,700 to 4,200. In San Diego, California, rioters looted and burned two banks, as well as the local Walmart.
In Texas, state governor Greg Abbott declared a state of emergency. He took control of all FBI officers and sent them to help the police and the National Guard to suppress riots in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio.
Clashes with police in Union Square in Manhattan continued in New York. They were attended by the daughter of the mayor of the city of Bill di Blasio – Ciara.
In Minnesota, protesters began broadcasting a message from the movie Doomsday from the speakers, which apparently inspired: “Any crime, including murder, does not break the law in the next 12 hours”.
So far, it can be said that Trump’s decision to recognize the “Antifa” as terrorists only irritated street activists: in the short term, this could prolong the wave of protests for several days.
