I'm just wondering. I work nights, so all news has to wait until I wake up. I'm just wondering if there are survivors from the rally today?
Thank goodness Kentucky county got away from them in 1792.
Totally awesome!
A news helicopter was permitted to overfly the area and was livestreaming some astonishing close ups of the crowds. When they zoomed in with their steadicam, you could read slogans on jackets and hats. Faces were clearly recognizable. They also got comprehensive video of all the surrounding streets and parking areas.
There were 5X more people outside the cage than inside the cage. More than half of them may have been armed.
There were three known sniper positions covering the Capitol grounds. They were under constant observation and commentary from livestreaming videographers in nearby office buildings.
There was not one single arrest, nor any violent incidents.
This event turned out way better than I ever expected.
The State of Franklin may rise again?
You are correct to the degree that we have fifty states but Virginia.gov is The Official Site of The Commonwealth of Virginia. Virginia has always made it a point to call itself a Commonwealth and the same goes for Kentucky when I lived there too.
And Massachusetts.
But I've never lived in Massachusetts. I've lived in Virginia and Kentucky, so I've got that goin for me which is nice.
and Kentucky
It is just when people say Virginia is not a state, that is not true. It is as if some people don’t believe a Commonwealth can simultaneously be a state also. Every US commonwealth is a state except for Puerto Rico, which is a US territory.
