What: A large, conservative political rally called "Unite the Right". The rally was meant to be peaceful, but devolved into major violence between the original attendees and what are being referred to as "counter-protestors". Many dozens of people were injured and one woman was killed. Two police officers were also killed when their helicopter crashed in some nearby woods.
When: August 13 and 14, 2017.
Where: Charlottesville, Virgina, near the University of Virginia.
Who: The rally was organized by various right wing groups and figures. I know that the League of the South was present, as were a small number of KKK members and so called "neo-Nazis". I know for a fact that the "Virginia Three Percenters" backed out and were not present. The majority of the people in attendance were unaffiliated with any particular groups. On the left wing side of the spectrum, AntiFa was there in full force. Black Lives Matter and BAMN were there as well. The local police and the Virginia State Police were present.
Why: This rally, as has been the case with all of the recent right wing rallies over the past months,
Was mainly based on support for our right to free speech as outlined in the First Amendment. It was also based on support for conservative ideals and European-American heritage.
Remarks: The MSM is working overtime painting this rally as a full fledged neo-Nazi, white supremacist rally that was primed for violence. Funny that the right wing participants were the ones who obtained the proper permits AND coordinated for months in advance with the local and state police. The participants have also staged many events that were totally peaceful and left the event venues as clean as they found them. AntiFa showed up to this event with the same intent they always do: To shut down the entire rally with violence and destruction. People who were there have told me that the police did not follow the pre-planned safety and security agreements made with the organizers, instead leading the legal demonstrators down AntiFa flanked roads to the demonstration area and right into the teeth of AntiFa and BLM. It's being said that at that point, LEOs backed off with stand-down orders and let the sides brawl. Many people were injured and one was killed.
Side note: The MSM is conflating white nationalist with white supremacist. This is incorrect, of course. The can be some personal overlap with some people, but neither of these ideals is inherently present in the other.
It's also worth mentioning that according to the MSM and the left in general, any ideology that does not fall into their narrative, is inherently racist and evil.
One must be careful once the left has stamped you with the label of evil. At that point, any action taken against you is justified and encouraged, up to and including assault.
