Charlottesville police arrest more than 20 at KKK rally - updated w/ link to more complete story

I'm relieved that there are no reports of injury or property damage.
As an aside, I guess they no longer teach about paragraphs at journalism school.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (NEWSPLEX) -- The Charlottesville Police Department reports at least 23 people have been arrested as a result of today's Ku Klux Klan rally at Justice Park.

Police estimate more than 1,000 people attended the rally, and also estimate 50 KKK members attended.

Police also report three people were taken to the hospital; two for heat related issues, and one person for an alcohol related issue.

Due to the size of the crowd and for safety purposes, police had to escort the KKK to Justice Park.
