[Lincolnparkdc] BOLO - Be On the Look Out Re: DC Security--East of Capitol

Wed Jan 13 15:15:22 EST 2021

That German American building is a HQ for conservative activities. They moved in a couple years ago and threw out all the beautiful blue furniture. It’s behind the Adams building on the corner. That’s also the building where a guy was spotted bringing a gun case inside days before the last event.

It stems from a very tiny thing, which I am surprised it has impacted me so much, but I finally thought it was worth action.  You know --the "If you see something, say something" approach.

>>>> I am not generally one to be afraid in my surroundings, but I want to call to your attention a strange experience on Monday.  It has made me wonder how much security attention is being given to areas East of the Capitol. It is SO easy to come off of 295 and head west, through the park, and I am seeing no evident protections here.
>>>> 
>>>> My strange encounter:  I was taking my regular walk from C ST NE to Lincoln Park and then on to East Capitol on Monday.  All was lovely until my return through the park.  I approached the Lincoln statue from 11th street and saw a man standing, looking at it.  Fair enough, but then as I got closer and began to head toward Tennessee, I noticed that he had a megaphone. I know this may seem small, but it made me ask--who would be carrying a megaphone in the park--and why?  The person also had a suspicious air.  I kept walking--a little faster--as I did not want to stare, take a photo, or otherwise draw attention to myself.  As I was walking along the 100-block of Tennessee I then encountered another person in dark and ragged clothing who was walking unhurriedly toward the park.  Were they connected?  Were they planning something?  That was what I felt.

>>>> 
>>>> The question this encounter prompted was "What is being planned by alt-right factions to approach the Capitol and city from the East--and what protections are being taken?"  It seems like an awfully vulnerable flank to me. I hope my suspicions of both figures are unfounded, but they were enough to prompt the question.

I also ask that you reach out to your constituencies--I think many of us have hightened antennae right now--to provide any guidance and alerts so we may protect ourselves.
