Похоже, вчера всем понравились Бугалу-парни. Показываю их (и прочих) ещё красивше.

Активисты движения "За право на оружие" собрались в понедельник возле здания Капитолия штата Вирджиния на ежегодный митинг по поводу Второй поправки, несмотря на усиленные меры безопасности в преддверии дня инаугурации. Демонстрация проходит всего в 110 милях к югу от Вашингтона, округ Колумбия, где избранный президент Джо Байден будет приведен к присяге в среду, и в них приняли участие члены группировок Boogaloo Boys, The Proud Boys и Black Panthers, несмотря на то, что Капитолий штата был огорожен, улицы перекрыты и было сильное присутствие полиции. Митинг, известный как "День лоббистов", является ежегодным мероприятием в Вирджинии, где граждане выходят на ступени Капитолия штата в первый понедельник после того, как Генеральная ассамблея собирается на свою ежегодную законодательную сессию, чтобы выразить свои опасения.
