The National Park Service (NPS) has issued the official permits for the white nationalist rally and a counterprotest that will take place in Washington, D.C. this weekend.
"Permits were issued this morning for Jason Kessler and ANSWER Coalition and will be posted on the National Park Service Freedom of Information Act website as soon as the FOIA officer has reviewed them and applied any necessary redactions," said Mike Litterst, the chief of communications for the National Park Service, in a release Thursday.
The agency initially approved an application submitted by Jason Kessler, one of the organizers of last years Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville, Va., but had not issued an official permit because it was finalizing a security plan with law enforcement agencies.
The NPS has also issued permits for two counter protests, including one organized by a coalition of 18 anti-fascist, anti-racist and feminist groups. Another permit was issued Wednesday for a rally being organized by ANSWER coalition, a left-wing group.

If you don't want the Government judging the merits of your rally, you demand they judge theirs.

(2,774 posts)"The Nazi Right" VS. the 'Liberal Left'. Which one would you choose to be associated with?
I would like no counter protest, let them exhale their hate into an empty void. Then there is zero chance of "the violence started with Antifa" as the narrative.
Or at least I hope the clowns show up and make fun of them again. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/06/opinion/comedy-protest-taxes-nazis.html
