(Ari Hoffman) State capitols have been on high alert due to FBI warnings of armed protesters in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. On Sunday, it became clear that none of those threats materialized.

In an email to the Tallahassee Democrat the Tallahassee Police Department said, “Florida’s Capitol is secure. A unified command is operational with local, state and federal agencies continuing to monitor information regarding possible demonstrations. This collaborative response is out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of citizens and property.”
Andrea Clark, a spokeswoman for the US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Florida, said that “We continue to closely monitor intelligence and coordinate with our law enforcement partners.”

One man showed up outside the fence in Olympia. John Hess from Centralia told KOMO News that he plans to stay because he believes the election was stolen. Hess said that a big protest is planned for Wednesday.

The lack of activity appeared to be the norm on Sunday at capitols across the country despite the FBI warnings. The visibly heavier presence of either police or National Guard troops appeared to be enough to keep protestors at bay for now.
