Considering that the government is planning to corral, primed the police, booked a simultaneous antifa
“counter-protest”, thoroughly prejudiced the media with per-masticated propaganda, and will be nowhere near, I say
STAND DOWN!
Post-pone the event until later when you can plan so as to be less predictable.
Consider an alternative: announce plans to converge at a convenient place nearby, while city hall is in session, based on some other pretext—something to do with history, or even shopping. Arrange for members to monitor social media and at some arbitrary time call for them to assemble. In other words, stage flash mobs.
Keep in mind I’m not a resident and claim no expertise. This is just one individual’s assessment. I fear you’re being set up.
Brothers and sisters in VA don’t go in the pen it’s a set up.
So then the media gets to control how we engage in self-government?
Nah. They will propagandize every event.
Protesting is a constitutional responsibility. If we can go, we must. Unfortunately, there probably is a setup. But we all need to be heard to be counted otherwise do we deserve to keep our freedom?
You are spot-on, and there are smart, knowledgable people who agree with you

Rather than go to an FBI/Govt controlled kill-box in Richmond, make the protests local, in every one of your towns and counties.
