I don't know why everyone keeps talking about storming the White House. That's a complete impossibility and would be suicide (literally!) to attempt. Also just a good excuse to break out the cool crowd control (microwaves, LRAD, etc.).
Because of the heavy rain last night and expected tonight and looting being kind of over, it's all likely to end in a lame march of 20-30,000 (unremarkable for DC) on Saturday and everything dying out after that. With the exception of twentysomething LARPers from Dupont and the close in suburbs, everyone just wants to enjoy restaurants and stuff now that they're semi-open.
If a crowd tries to storm the white house, the Secret Service isn't going to deploy "cool crowd control" they're just gonna start shooting people. Secret Service doesn't fuck around.
