State of Emergency as neo-Nazi "Unite the Right" hatefest explodes into chaos, terror attack

Update Aug 16: Unicorn Riot video proves fascists started the fight in Charlottesville, proving Trump's claim antifascists waded into the Nazis with clubs to be yet another lie from him

"Unite the Right" shut down by counterprotesters by 1PM, Governor declare state of emergency. About 45 minutes later a Nazi rammed counterprotesters in his car, a grey Dodge Charger. Charlottesville Mayor confirms one killed, 19 injured.

The original alt-right rally at Emancipation Part was SHUT DOWN by about 1PM. after fights led to a declaration of a "state of emergency." Armed racists with semiauto rifles were present, but only punches, pepper spray, and shields were used in the fighting around Emancipation Park. Denied the venue containing the contested Confederate statue, the Racists regrouped at McGuffey Park for a halfhearted second attempt at their rally. Counterprotesters either held or retook Emancipation Park.

Big cheers were reported from counterprotesters when it was reported that Richard Spencer had been arrested, but a later report said he was NOT arrested but was repeatedly maced. Photo shows him on ground under cops, presumably he was only detained. Just after 1:40PM a car driven by a Nazi rammed a mostly local crowd. Itsgoingdown.org reports and the Mayor of Charlottesville cofirms one person killed, 19 taken to the hospital. There are reports of other, lesser injuries as well.

This terrorist vehicle attack on a street march has drawn comparisons of the alt-right to ISIS/Daesh, well known for similar tactics. Video confirms ramming car rear-ended two other cars in a chain reaction crash, pushing them into the crowd. The driver then fled the scene and temporarily escaped, full speed reverse. The rear-ended cars may have saved many lives by blocking the ramming car from a more powerful impact lengthwise through what would have been a totally unprotected march.

Overall analysis of these events:

Although very, very expensive for the courageous people who stood up to Nazi hate in Charlottesville, the Nazis and KKK have taken a serious defeat. They lost militarily when they lost Emancipation Park, and they lost politically when they flushed away their "free speech" argument for preaching murder and mayhem by putting murder and mayhem into practice.

Confederate statues in the US are probably finished now, and the mainstream press has turned on the alt-right with a vengeance. The TV News in DC bluntly called the alt-right the Klansmen and Nazis they are. They callled out Trump for trying to equivocate. The Sep 16 alt-right "Mother of all rallies" here in DC is the next major alt-right event and will face a very frosty reception, maybe even get shut down by the city.

There is one more point to be made here. The temporary escape of the driver of the ramming car would have been difficult with a deployed airbag, as is normally present on current Dodge Chargers and all other recent cars. If the drivers side airbag was missing or disabled, that suggests premeditation of the attack, possibly days in advance.
