Live streams and photos of the event were shared on social media, showing the Patriots, some wearing camouflage, waving signs and flags bearing President Trump’s name, “don’t tread on me,” “we will not comply,” and more.

One group reportedly came all the way from New Jersey to join the peaceful demonstration.

CBS reporter Brendan King noted he spotted license plates from Maryland and North Carolina.

A photo posted to Twitter showed a long line for a petition to recall Democrat Governor Northam.

Governor Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency and banned weapons on Capitol grounds days before the rally, because of reports of “malicious plans” and “threats of armed militia groups” planning to storm the state capitol. Barricades were placed on most roads leading to the Capitol and a fenced was placed around it, marking the areas where citizens carrying guns could not enter.

Police estimated 22,000 attended, and 7,000 were inside the Capitol Square, according to USA Today.

The crowd voiced their disapproval of Virginia’s governor by shouting “Northam out!”
