Will Trump's inauguration be disrupted?

Thousands of demonstrators are expected to turn out in Washington next week for protests aiming to "shut down" the inauguration of Donald Trump as the next US president, organizers said.

"We want to shut down the inauguration. We want to see a seething rebellion develop in this city and across the country," the organizer David Thurston told a news conference

Protesters will attempt to close down 12 security checkpoints at the US Capitol, where Trump will take the oath of office on Jan. 20, and along the 2.5-mile (4-km) parade route down Pennsylvania Avenue, Reuters reports.
