7. My daughter lives on Capitol Hill in DC

Jan 2025

She said there have been crowds of Proud Boys roaming around all day.

After midnight on Jan 6, she heard voices in the alley behind her townhouse. Called the guy next door, they investigated, found two lost J6ers wandering around, both with pistols.

The guy next door "sympathized" with them, invited them into his place for coffee, bathroom break, etc. Told my daughter to call the DC cops and tell them to respond silently -- no lights, no siren -- while he kept the assholes busy in his place. Within 10 minutes, 9 cops were there -- talk about some surprised assholes when all 9 of them walked in, stuffed and cuffed and hauled them off. Daughter and guy next door high-fived all the cops.

Maybe she'll get that lucky again tonight.
