Charlottesville: far-right crowd with torches encircles counter-protest group

quote [ People gathering to oppose Unite the Right demonstration say they were hit with pepper spray and lighter fluid in clash on University of Virginia campus ]

So yeah... This is what it's come to. I'm sure they'll (numbers) blame the protests at Berkeley for bringing it here.

Not really sure what to say.

"didn’t intentionally mow down protesters out of malice intent. Lorenz reports that authorities believe that the suspect acted out of fear as protesters swarmed the vehicle"

Yea, maybe true about when he put it in reverse and hauled ass out of there. But video of the car driving into the crowd without even hitting the brakes? Seems pretty damning.
