This is generally true about us as a demographic group. We also have like radical anti-racist groups (e.g., IWW, ASH) that are well known to throwdown with any of those idiots when they come to town. The bigger issue imo is that Richmond attracts the stupid white supremacist groups as lifestyle protestors/tourists - they view Richmond as a white racist Mecca or at least an important symbol of their ideology.

But generally as others have indicated - the experience of most people is to just not go near these idiots - that works most of the time! Hopefully the final defeat of the statues will change this aspect.
