Governor florida declares state emergency white supremacist event
You're referring to the recent events in Tallahassee, Florida. On April 15, 2021, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declared a state of emergency in response to a white supremacist event that was planned to take place in Tallahassee.
The event, which was organized by a group called the "Patriot Front," was intended to be a rally in support of white supremacy and against anti-fascist groups. However, the event was met with strong opposition from local residents, community leaders, and law enforcement, who were concerned about the potential for violence and hate speech.
In response to the planned event, Governor DeSantis declared a state of emergency, which allowed for increased security measures and resources to be deployed to the area. The governor also condemned the event and the ideology of white supremacy, stating that it has no place in Florida.
The event ultimately did not take place, as the Patriot Front group cancelled their plans due to the strong opposition and the declaration of a state of emergency. However, the incident highlights the ongoing issue of white supremacist activity in the United States and the need for continued vigilance and action to combat hate and discrimination.
It's worth noting that the Patriot Front is a neo-Nazi group that was formed in 2018 after the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, which resulted in the death of a counter-protester. The group has been linked to several violent incidents and hate crimes across the United States.
