Several members of an alt right group have gathered in Charlottesville, Va to express their first amendment rights. In the photos, you can see a group people being escorted by authorities carrying long guns as they walk through the streets of Virginia.

“The Freedom Keepers have appeared as a camouflage-garbed security force at ‘free speech’ confrontations up and down the west coast hosted by the nationalist movement known as the ‘alt-right’ ,” Willamette Week news editor Aaron Mesh explained, after similar events in several Oregon cities. “They describe themselves as a ‘patriot’ group,” despite the prominence of Nazi, Confederate, and Ku Klux Klan regalia at their events, “and recently protested the removal of Confederate monuments in New Orleans.”

I found out about them because a very prominent animal rights advocate was spotted as a member (you can see her in the photo you posted) and pretty much flipped out the animal rights community.
