Jacksonville, FL: Students to Confront Neo-Nazi Rally
-----------------------------------------------------

In Jacksonville, Florida, students and antifascist activists are
planning a counter-protest at the University of North Florida today, as
neo-Nazis plan to rally on behalf of a student who was suspended after
posting a threatening photo on social media. The photograph shows
political science student Ken Parker shirtless, posing with a
semiautomatic assault rifle, and a swastika tattooed on his chest.
Parker posted it to a Black Lives Matter-aligned student group's
Facebook page, along with a threat against the group Students for a
Democratic Society.
