Clashes erupted when the far right held a Nazi-esque torchlight march Friday evening and again the next day. By Saturday morning, the state of Virginia had declared a state of emergency. Not long afterward, one man with an apparent long-standing obsession with Nazi imagery plowed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, killing one person and injuring 19 others. Later that day, he was charged with second-degree murder.
For a dispute that seemingly centered on still-contested elements of American history — the Civil War and slavery — there was an international flair to the symbols used by some of the far-right marchers. The Southern Poverty Law Center spotted flags and other items that referenced Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, while James Alex Fields Jr., the man charged with murder, had posted a picture of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on his Facebook page.

God you people are soft.
Shit like this, violent riots and street brawls were common in the USA until the mid-1970's
quit being a bunch of candy asses.
Dear washingtonpost, wanna get to the real issue? Violence against persecution isnt punishable, its commendable.
When a slave kills a slave owner, its considered GOOD.
when a person being beat up by the police kills a police officer, its considered good (and it is).
But when a white person drives his car into a bunch of people who are persecuting him? That needs to be considered good as well. (Because it is). We whites are innocent. We dont hate anybody that doesnt seek to do us harm.
