Authorities said Washington, D.C., law enforcement is prepared to handle any clashes between right-wing rallygoers and anti-fascist counterprotesters in the nation’s capital.
The protests come a week after violence in Portland that included members of the left-wing antifa assaulting journalist Andy Ngo, sending him to the hospital.
The Quillette writer said his injuries gave him a brain hemorrhage. Portland’s mayor and police came under heavy criticism for not doing more to control the violence during the demonstrations.
D.C. officials are confident there won’t be a repeat this weekend when the "Rally for Free Speech" and "All Out D.C." protests occur.
Because the two groups will be holding demonstrations on National Park Service grounds, the U.S. Park Police will take the lead.
When asked whether the U.S. Park Police were ready to prevent possible clashes between the two groups, U.S. Park Police information officer Sgt. Eduardo Delgado told the Washington Examiner, “Yes, absolutely.”
“This isn’t new for us or for MPD. These things tend to always migrate to D.C., so we’re very familiar with these kinds of situations,” he said.
The U.S. Park Police plans to set up physical barriers such as bike fencing that will help divide the demonstrators, he said.
“Our goal is for everyone to be safe, to be happy, to do their demonstrations, and then go home,” Delgado said.
A public information officer told the Washington Examiner that the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department is coordinating with Park Police.

The way they handle it is just ignore anything Antifa does.

Were they able to ID the terrorists who attacked Ngo??

What garbage sentence that is. Pure propaganda. The rallygoers are “right-wing”. And the counterprotesters are “anti-fascist”.
The implication is obvious. Right-wing = fascist.

So far the D.C. Police have managed to keep Antifa from being too much of a problem.
That works too. And would probably OK then nicely. Ready for some trolling.
