TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)-Chanting "USA! USA! USA!" and praising President Donald Trump, the protesters, armed with handguns and rifles around, flooded the streets around Virginia State Capitol.
There were fears of violence ahead of the rally as reports had said white supremacists, armed militia groups and other extremists planned to attend the rally, which was organized by the Virginia Citizens Defense League.
The rally came amid tight security after Governor Ralph Northam banned carrying weapons onto the capitol grounds, and the FBI last week arrested three neo-Nazis, saying they intended to use the event to spark a race war.
