White nationalist march sparks concern in Virginia: ‘Designed to intimidate’
Video obtained by Nexstar’s WAVY showed about 30 people wearing matching clothing and white masks while carrying Confederate flags and flags associated with Patriot Front — widely recognized as a white nationalist organization — near the Naval Aviation Monument on 38th Street. A video taken Saturday, May 23, showed masked marchers carrying the flags in the Oceanfront district. Police said officers monitored the group’s activity and determined there was “no public safety threat.” Authorities also said the march did not require a permit because the group did not block roadways, complied with the law, and did not meet the threshold based on gathering size.
