Between 400 and 450 people turned up at the rally, according to Capitol Police.
The sparsely-attended „Justice for J6“ rally concluded Saturday mid-afternoon after hours of speeches without any known major instances of violence. Between 400 and 450 people turned up at the rally, according to Capitol Police, less than the Department of Homeland Security ’s prediction of roughly 700 attendees. Despite the lackluster turnout, photos show an overwhelming police and media presence at the rally organized by former Trump campaign staffer Matt Baynard to protest the treatment of the January 6 mob who were arrested and charged in connection with the Capitol riot. Authorities said Friday that more than 27 law enforcement agencies in the area were involved in securing the rally to limit the threat of violence. One man was arrested on a weapons violation for welding a knife around 12:40 p.
