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.

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.
