There also was a dancing trucker, at least one American colonial era-style wig, a couple of Joe Biden flags and a number of curious onlookers who stopped by the Ohio Statehouse on Sunday afternoon for what officials had feared could turn into a violent uprising.
But around 3 p.m., members of the Ohio National Guard, the State Highway Patrol, Columbus Police and other law enforcement personnel far outnumbered the armed protesters, who made no effort to storm Ohio’s Capitol or otherwise repeat the sort of mob violence that occurred in Washington, D.C. earlier this month.
