Having a deliberate provocation in DC puts it on someone’s doorstep except he’s playing golf this weekend.
After the nearly 7-minute interview ended, NPR transitioned to an interview with a Black Lives Matter activist, a setup implying that white supremacists and people advocating for racial justice are two sides of the same coin.
Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police say they’re determined not to repeat the mistakes of Charlottesville, as they prepare for white supremacists and anti-fascist protesters to descend on the nation’s capital Sunday for the anniversary of last year’s violent “Unite the Right” rally, which left one dead and dozens injured.
“The ultimate goal will be to make sure nobody is injured and nothing gets broken,” D.C. Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham said in a press briefing Thursday. "We would ask everyone who attends not let their personal passions overcome their civility,"
City officials said that that the National Park Service has issued three different permits for events in D.C. on Sunday.
Jason Kessler, a lead organizer behind Unite the Right, was officially issued his permit Thursday for his so-called “white civil rights” event. He’s reserved a space in Lafayette Park, across from the White House, to accommodate anywhere from 100 to 400 people, which he will march to from Foggy Bottom (although his route may change between now and Sunday).
A coalition of anti-fascists have reserved a portion of Lafayette Park to accommodate 1,500 people, as well as two other spaces in D.C., which each accommodates 500 people. Another activist coalition, including Black Lives Matter, have reserved Freedom Plaza, half a mile from Lafayette Park, for 1,000 people.
