Virginia governor orders National Guard on standby ahead of 'alt-right' rally

Virginia governor orders National Guard on standby ahead of 'alt-right' rally
By JULIA JACOBO Aug 11, 2017, 7:46 PM ET

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has placed the National Guard on standby in preparation for a rally in Charlottesville on Saturday, where at least 1,000 nationalists are expected to attend.

The Unite the Right rally is scheduled to take place Saturday at McIntire Park in Charlottesville, the city said on its website. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said in a statement that the event could be the "largest white supremacist gathering in a decade."

McAuliffe said in a statement that while he believes the majority of the rally's participants will express their views "safely and respectfully," he believes that some attendees may be violent.

If the call goes out will they leave their rally to do their jobs?
