A KKK march was held in Charlottesville, VA today and last evening. The large group of white supremacists were met by Antifa who allegedly gassed and beat the protesters. The KKK are evil racists and so are the counter protesters. They were dredged up by the past president who hopes to start a race-class-gender war.
We need to start waking up and condemning the identity politics that leads to this. It’s a dangerous game. This should serve as a warning as to where we are headed if the hate continues.
Everyone has the right to protest peacefully, even the KKK and the communist Antifa and BLM, but this is not what this is. There is a difference of opinion as to who started the violence.
The KKK are terrifying but so are the communists, who the media call counter protesters while labeling the white nationalists/supremacists.

Melania Trump also condemned the violence.
Our country encourages freedom of speech, but let’s communicate w/o hate in our hearts. No good comes from violence. #Charlottesville

Governor McAuliffe has instituted a state of emergency in Charlottesville after the KKK march grew violent. The communist Antifa and Black Lives Matter(BLM), who are present as counter protesters, are always violent. BLM is the group that burned down stores in several cities and attacked police.
A car careened into about 14 to 16, allegedly, anti-alt-right protesters. Many eyewitnesses said it was deliberate. One person is dead and 19 are injured. Earlier, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller told Fox News that three vehicles had collided in downtown Charlottesville. Geller added that the car seen backing away with a smashed hood in the above video had been located.
The driver who backed away has been located and is being detained. Officials do not know if the crash was intentional. [This is an update to the original article.]
It appears that anti-white nationalist protesters were the targets.
