Bodies were seen flying through the air, along with shoes, while the murder plowed through the crowd. Racism appears to be the motive for the assailant’s violent crime. The criminal has been taken into custody, his name has yet to be released.

Some counter-protestors blame President Trump’s blunt micro-racialized outburst for the recent national surge of racist behavior.

The congregation of Neo Nazis vocalized their disapproval of the U of VA’s plans to remove the Robert E. Lee statue, Lee committed treason by joining the confederacy during American Civil War. The irony, U of VA intends to take the statue out of “Emancipation Park.”
