So despite weeks of liberals doomsaying a rally set for yesterday supposedly in support of the 1/6 people, with declarations that there would be more violence and possibly another 'attack on the capitol', the 'rally' drew in very few people.Given all they hype, I suspect it was largely hype created by law enforcement to try to draw people out and incite some violence.

(Note they are still trying to dishonestly peddle Sicknick's death as being linked to the riot at the end there, despite the autopsy stating it was death by natural causes - at least they've finally stopped the fire extinguisher story).
I had to laugh when I saw the following - a man there with a firearm was spotted and surrounded by police. Turned out he was undercover, tells them where his gun is, tells them where his credentials/badge is, they check his badge, and then escort/extract him from the rally without disarming him.

Given the whole Whitmer thing, etc., I suspect the majority or at least a good 50 percent split of people there were probably undercover law enforcement absolutely thirsting for a chance to try to push/incite some violence to get some arrests.

A sparse crowd of demonstrators gathered in Washington to rally for those criminally charged in the Jan. 6 deadly pro-Trump insurrection.
Organizers called the rally “Justice for J6,” referencing the date in which supporters of former President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to prevent the certification of the 2020 election results.
Protestors were met with heavy presence of local, state and federal law enforcement — and members of the press — outnumbering event attendees.
U.S. Capitol Police made a few arrests Saturday in an otherwise nonviolent demonstration, according to the department’s social media. Arrests included weapons violation, possession of a firearm and probation violation, according to police.
Washington Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee told NBC News the crowd was “about what we expected” and the heightened police presence may have deterred attendance.
Police in advance of Saturday ramped up security around the Capitol, erecting fences around the Capitol grounds, Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, and other congressional office buildings.
One hundred National Guard troops were on standby to help protect the Capitol, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Friday.
Matt Braynard, the former Trump campaign staffer who organized the rally, previously told CNBC he expected the protest to be peaceful.
The Jan. 6 Capitol riot began shortly after Trump, speaking at a rally outside the White House, urged the crowd to march to Congress and fight against the certification of Joe Biden’s election as president.
Four people died that day in connection with the riot, including a woman shot by a police officer as she tried to crawl through a window toward the House of Representatives chamber.
Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick died the following day after collapsing hours after he was attacked by rioters. Four police officers who responded to the insurrection have died by suicide since the attack.

This was attempted entrapment from the jump.
