SECURITY ? – – – OR A STATEMENT ?

The phenomenal show of security in force at the inauguration in Washington was far in excess of necessary.

The reports say the city barricaded with concrete and barbed wire looked more like a communist takeover than a peaceful transfer of power in America.

I see the show to be another organized statement repeating the narrative that conservative Trump followers are the greatest terrorist threat.

And, for those who can look at January 20 with the perspective of history, the show of force by the government (25,000 troops) without the show of force by the people (no citizens), is a frightening forecast of the future of America.
