Just your neighborhood Humvee

One of many DC National Guard Humvees and other heavy equipment parked in our Capitol Hill neighborhood in advance of Biden’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, amid fears of a convoy of truckers showing up to try to disrupt the proceedings. They’re protesting mask and vaccine mandates and who knows what else, although most mandates have been lifted around the country. I find it very sad that he can’t even give a major speech to the nation without its capital having to “militarize.”

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by PBase are decidedly
unsharp.

Too close to home for comfort, posted earlier:

I find it depressing. Nice shot Helen.

With the state of affairs it
seems a shame to see this still
going on….

Oh boy, this is such a telling sign of the times. I sincerely hope the convoy does not arrive. I'm sorry that the idea for that came from Canada! Not something most of us are proud of. V

That must be a scary thing to experience. We are such a divided country. V

and people in the Ukraine are dying; not fretting about masks like the nuts in the US are. What a contrast in priorities, sadly.

Sad that this is still needed. Is the high fence still there

Sad but in the light of Jan 6th necessary..... but they should be driving electric ones!

Nice composition and framing (The only thing I don´t like is the military truck there)...V.
