REPORTER: WHILE WARNINGS COME DOWN FROM WASHINGTON OF POTENTIALLY VIOLENT ARMED PROTESTS AT STATE CAPITOLS AROUND THE COUNTRY STARTING THIS WEEKEND, THE FBI SAYS SO FAR THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF SUCH ACTIVITIES BEING ORGANIZED IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, MAINE, MASSACHUSETTS OR RHODE ISLAND. >> WE ARE CURRENTLY NOT IN RECEIPT OF ANY CREDIBLE INFORMATION REGARDING VIOLENT ACTIVITY IN OR AROUND TH CAPITOL BUILDINGS, OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER, CONNECTED TO THE EVENTS OF JANUARY 6, OR THE UPCOMING INAUGURATIO HOWEVER, I WANT TO BE CLEAR, THAT INTELLIGENCE CAN CHANGE BY THE SECOND. REPORTER NEW HAMPSHIRE STATE POLICE TELL NEWSNINE THEY ARE PREPARING FOR SOME KIND OF GATHERING TO OCCUR OUTSIDE THE STATE HOUSE THIS WEEKEND. >> WE’RE PLANNING FOR ONE. WE WILL ALWAYS PLAN FO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE’RE AWARE OF THE NATIONAL TREND THAT’S TAKING PLACE REPORTER: PLANNED MASS GATHERINGS AT THE STATE HOUSE, LIKE THE WOMENS’ MARCH IN 2017, TYPICALLY INVOLVE A PERMITTING PROCESS THAT IS MORE ABOUT COORDINATING SECURITY AND LOGISTICS THAN ANYTHING ELSE. THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF THE STATE HOUSE SAYS NO SUCH PERMIT PROCESS HAS BEEN INITIATED FOR A CROWD IN THE COMING DAYS, BUT THAT DOES N MEAN PEOPLE WON’T SHOW UP SPONTANEOUSLY TO EXERCISE THEIR 1ST AMENDMENT RIGHTS, AS THEY OFTEN DO AT GATHERINGS PLANNED AND UNPLANNED, SOME GRANITE STATERS DO CARRY GUNS, THAT’S A FACT OF LIFE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE. THE ISSUE NOW, THE POTENTI THREAT OF A REPEAT OF WHAT HAPPENED IN WASHINGTON, IS WHY LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS ARE ON ALERT. >> GIVEN WHAT WE SAW IN WASHINGTON, WE’RE CERTAINLY GOING TO ENSURE WE HAVE ADEQUATE STAFFING FOR ANYTHING THAT POPS UP. REPORTER THE REPUBLICAN SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IS CALLING ON ANYONE WHO CHOOSES TO ASSEMBLE HERE IN THE DAYS AHEAD TO REMA PEACEFUL. >> IT’S EVERYBODY’S RIGHT TO PROTEST, BUT PLEASE, DO NOT, DO NOT DO ANYTHING FOOLIS REPORT
