Several fires lit near White House as DC protests continue to rage:

Several fires were set just blocks from the White House on Sunday as protests over the death of George Floyd continued to rage in the nation’s capital.

Protesters piled up road signs and plastic barriers and lit a blaze in the middle of H Street, shortly before the start of the 11 p.m. curfew imposed by Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser.

Some of the demonstrators pulled an American flag from a nearby building and threw it into the flames, The Associated Press reported.

The basement of The Parish House in historic St. John’s Episcopal Church, near Lafayette Park, was in flames, according to live footage from Fox News.

Another blaze was consuming a public cinder block building with bathrooms and a maintenance office at the edge of the park.

Fires burn near White House amid violent protests.
Highlights:
– “Firefighters in Washington, D.C., responded to numerous blazes set intentionally by protesters in the city Sunday evening“
– “Multiple news outlets reported that a fire erupted at historic St. John’s Church, a landmark where presidents have attended services since the 1800s, while others were set nearby at a White House guard building and other locations, including the AFL-CIO’s national headquarters.”
– “Protesters clashed with police in nearby Lafayette Park, next to the White House”
– “Overhead views of the city Sunday evening showed the iconic Washington Monument engulfed with smoke from nearby fires as crews struggled to reach locations still held by protesters late into the night.”
– “A curfew was imposed on Washington Sunday night and the National Guard was called in as the protests continued.”

SAME MODUS OPERANDI: PROTESTS IN THE AFTERNOON; RIOTS AT NIGHT

F*ck Donald Trump”
“#NOW: Hundreds are packing into H Street north of the White House for a third consecutive evening of protests over the death of George Floyd.

Turnout is high even after yesterday’s clashes. It’s wholly peaceful at the moment, they’ve taken a knee chanting “stop killing us.””

Joe Biden kneels for photo-op:

We are a nation in pain right now, but we must not allow this pain to destroy us.

As President, I will help lead this conversation — and more importantly, I will listen, just as I did today visiting the site of last night’s protests in Wilmington.
