Hundreds of protesters gathered at a San Francisco park Saturday, demanding to be allowed past police barricades to protest supporters of a far-right rally that was canceled.
The group gathered around 11:30 a.m. at Alamo Square Park, where the organizer of a Freedom Rally was scheduled to hold a news conference. That 2 p.m. conference was canceled.
City officials had shut down the park and erected fencing around it Saturday morning. They said a permit was never issued for the news conference.

My understanding is that first, the Far-right (Patriotprayers) had planned a rally. This was cancelled. Then they planned news conference but that was also cancelled today.

Its awesome
Why would they even want a rally there?
Doesn't matter that they cancelled it, why did they ever plan it?
