‘Burn It Down’: Hundreds March Through the Streets of DC on Election Night

A crowd of around 150 people who were dressed in all black and wearing helmets began marching through the streets of Washington, D.C. shortly after 11:00 p.m. Tuesday night.

The crowd was chanting: “F*ck Trump. F*ck Biden. No more presidents.” One person had a sign that said “burn down the American plantation.” Some were carrying weapons, gas masks and shields, according to The Blaze reporter Elijah Schaffer.

Around 11:45, fireworks began going off and the crowd chanted “all cops are bastards” and “burn it down.” The group was organized and lead by a wall of people with bikes.
