March for Our Lives 3/24/2018 - safe to attend?

I am the mother of four kids are 22 and 24 years old. Three of them are triplets, in case you are wondering.

They want to attend March for Our Lives.

I am worried that groups like the White Nationalists (and other counter-protesters) will also attend, like they did in Charlottesville.

Do you think this will be a safe march to attend?

My kids are 26 and 23. They'll go with me or without me.

There will be thousands watching your kids back. Ignore the false negativity planted by Russian factory trolls.

First, the White Nationalists are over-rated as a threat; they've shown up exactly once.

Second, any major City with a major protest march will have a lot of law enforcement turned out, ESPECIALLY in Washington.
