"Four were taken into custody on suspicion of carrying pistols without licenses, one for alleged possession of prohibited weapon "

this was a different game played by different rules and don't pretend it is the same

Think about that for a second. 5 people? This is your mass gun narrative you want to push? Yes if they had guns in large amounts you would have seen a different story but they did not and that is not mealy mouthed. You see officers were arresting people and checking. Something that was not being done to left protests.

In all of the other protests in the US do you remember anyone being arrested for gun possession? Nope. Yet we see them marching around with rifles in the CHAZ and other protests in WI and such?

"Hard Barrier"? Last I saw was officers on knees while national guard declined. Police stations turned over to the mob. I did see videos of capital police moving barriers and opening doors and waving people in.

They have national guard on the streets for weeks to show the war zone and push the narrative that the right might show up again. Same as the protestors are peaceful and the violent were the right wing that infiltrated narrative that is common.
