Invictus said that our Founding Fathers “were not messing around with barbecues on the Forth of July” but were rather signing a ‘high treasonous document that declared independence from their government.”
Police presence was heavy all the way through the event as bicycle cops, patrol cars, and helicopters circled the downtown area in droves.

(shepard Ambellas/Intellihub)Speaking to former members of the Armed Forces, U.S. Army (82nd) Staff Sergeant Joe Biggs, told the crowd: “You have got to go out under the mindset that you could be attacked for your beliefs.”
Are you going to be a victim […] or are you going to train?” Biggs asked the audience.
“We’re trained, we’re armed, we’re vigilant, we know what the hell is going on — and have got to stay like that every fu*kin’ day,” he said. […] these people will sucker punch you.”
