This would require organized militant activity.

BLM is all about optics of anarchy to sway public opinion- using tactics of intimidation at times.

But I don’t think they are organized from a military aspect to storm the WH.

They might get people fired up who do stupid shite and get shot or arrested, but I have a hard time seeing anything else.

For National Security reasons, no way could a mob be allowed to storm the White House, protect it by any means necessary.

As soon as rounds go flying they will flee.

This is a not so veiled threat against a legitimately elected POTUS.

It’s rabble rousing.

They would drop delta force and seal teams in there so fast it would make your head spin. They would frick around and find out with a quickness.

The republicans have the support of all the police and it has nothing to do with the Republican Party.
If anyone storms the White House, it’ll be Americans fighting to take their country back from the corrupt occupiers (if there is indeed proven to be corruption in the electoral process). There won’t be any one firing on us because the police will be on our side.

1) At what point would the Secret Service/National Guard Troops simply refuse to fire on those attacking the White House? If they were faced with the possibility of having to shoot and kill hundreds, or potentially even thousands of American citizens, would they simply refuse to do that?


SS are the best of the best LEOs around. They will protect the president, not the Whitehouse. If POTUS were directly threatened by a mob they will put the mob down until POTUS is secured. Doesn’t matter who is POTUS.

quote:

2) At what point would they simply be overwhelmed by sheer numbers? Again, I don't know how many Secret Service personnel may be in the White House grounds at any given time, but assuming SS were the ONLY LEOs on site, if two to three THOUSAND people surrounded the White House and started tearing down the fence/gates, would the SS even be able to prevent that?


There are hundreds if not thousands of federal LEOs within 15 minutes of the WH. If the call goes out they will answer. Sure there is a theoretical number that could, in theory, overwhelm the people protecting POTUS but they would be stepping over a lot of bodies. Not to mention there are also military people all over DC and VA that could be in DC within 30 minutes. Everyone of them have sworn to uphold the constitution from enemies foreign AND domestic.

It’s an interesting thought exercise but nothing more. What will happen Tuesday into Wednesday is people screaming about Trump stealing the election but not much more.

Just park two Apaches on the lawn. Then see how brave they are.

The SS will have the DC cops do most of the lifting outside of the walls of the WH, however, I feel if a mass of people makes it over the wall you will get to see all the neat WH defensive measures.

My son-in-law is a Secret Service agent. If they en masse jumped or tore down the fence and stormed the White House there would absolutely be a heavy price to pay. That place is heavily fortified and armed to the teeth. It will be protected at all costs. They swore an oath. Not a good idea Antifa..

Yeah there would be blood in the streets. It doesn't matter if it's republican or democrat, you can't storm the damn white house.
