LIVE: 'Unite the Right 2' rally and counter protests hit DC one year after Charlottesville



Full Disclosure, this video feed is funded by the government of Russia.

I'm just posting this because Nazis are in my city right now 10 blocks away from me and I would prefer to watch from a safe distance.

The main demonstration is set to start at 5:30 PM in Lafayette square, in front of a large white house whose current occupants support this sort of thing.

who should hit the Metro and head back to housing in the Vienna-Tysons area. Because NoVa is now darkening & thundering with lightening. Forecast 90% rain, with flash flooding alert 2-10PM.

While a grad student at GWU I worked at Lafayette Sq. for 2 years, know it well.

When the left has a protest, do the police escort the protest as nicely as they are doing here for this one?

Then they put their military vehicles and gear to use. They have it so it would be a waste of taxpayer dollars to not use it on unarmed peaceful protestors.
