Posobiec was blocked by some protesters from filming the event, which he caught live on Periscope. The situation escalated when one protester accused him of “founding the alt-lite” and of being a "literal Nazi.".

Posobiec was flanked by several black men, including the tour guide, who attempted to guide him to safety away from the mob, which continued to swell in numbers following Goggles’ calls to evict him from the park. The park is located on federal, publicly owned land.
