(CNS News) – D.C.’s Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser sent a flyer to businesses this month telling them how to prepare for “first amendment demonstrations” following the election on Nov. 3. The flyer said that the District “does not recommend businesses board up their buildings,” but suggested other security measures such as cameras.

The “First Amendment Demonstration Resource Guide for Businesses” was issued to businesses on Oct. 21, two weeks prior to the election, hinting to fears that protests may erupt on the streets of D.C. again this year, as they did in 2016.
