WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) – A small group of white supremacists staged a brief demonstration in a central Pennsylvania park over the weekend but disbanded as police arrived in force to break up the event, which was conducted without a permit. More than a dozen members of the National Socialist Movement, some of them armed, marched through Williamsport’s Brandon Park on Saturday afternoon and then spoke with the aid of a bullhorn. The event was ending as a city bus carrying more officers arrived. The march was originally scheduled in April but the city canceled it, citing the coronavirus pandemic. No arrests were made.
