Masked white nationalists march in Washington with police escort
                                                                                    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Police escorted masked members of a white  nationalist group on a march through Washington's National Mall on  Saturday that Metropolitan Police said occurred without incident or  arrests.
                                                                                    More than 100 members of the Patriot Front, dressed in  khaki pants and caps, blue jackets and white face masks, shouted  "Reclaim America!" and "Life, liberty, victory!" video of the march  showed.
                                                                                    The Southern Poverty Law Center describes the Patriot  Front as a white nationalist group that broke off from a similar  organization, Vanguard America, in the aftermath of the deadly "Unite  the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017.
                                                                                    At that  rally, self-described neo Nazi James Fields drove his car into a group  of counter-protesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer. He was  convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in  2018.
                                                                                    U.S. President Donald Trump drew criticism from his fellow  Republicans as well as Democrats for saying that "both sides" were to  blame for the deadly 2017 incident.
                                                                                    Video of Saturday's march in  Washington posted on the News2Share Facebook page showed occasional  hecklers, but there appeared to be no organized counter-protest movement  waiting for the Patriot Front as the group marched from the Lincoln  Memorial to the U.S. Capitol grounds and later a nearby Wal-Mart parking  garage.
                                                                                    They were accompanied by dozens of police, some on  bicycles, but it was unclear whether the group had obtained a permit for  the march. A spokeswoman for District of Columbia Metropolitan Police  said it had no record of a permit for the march. Capitol Police and the  National Park Service could not immediately be reached for comment.
                                                                                    The Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said that the "First Amendment demonstration was peaceful with no incidents or arrests."
                                                                                    More: (video)
