I think you are over-reacting.
The picture did not surprise me. When you have groups like the Nazis, Black Lives Matter, and the KKK gathering in the same area, trouble often breaks out and people get hurt. It is best to avoid situations like that.
I remember back in the 1970's, the Nazi party wanted to have a parade thru Skokie IL, home to many Holocaust survivors. Instead of there being a counter-demonstration, the Nazis held their uneventful parade and then they went home.
Last year I saw people from Black Lives Matter marching and saying they wanted "dead cops" and "pigs in a blanket, fried like bacon". Even though some of us did not agree with their ideas, they were allowed to march and then they went home. No harm done.
It is good for us to have tolerance for people who want to express their opinions, even if we do not agree with them.
