My gloomy prediction four days ago has thankfully not materialized. The weekend passed mostly peacefully. Large protests across the country were peaceful affairs, with the jarring notes (a shooting, a car driven through pedestrians, and police clearing the streets in one location) visibly the work of people outside the protests themselves.
The biggest scuffle seems to have been around the US Capitol, where protesters breached police lines. Arrests were made. Charges will be brought.
The question is – will there be presidential pardons like for the thousands of violent January 6 rioters where police were assaulted and fatalities resulted?
