One dead. Dozens injured.
It’s time to stop calling what transpired in the streets of Charlottesville on August 12 a white supremacist “rally” and say what it really was:
A riot.
A brutal clash between protesters and counter-protesters swinging clubs and baseball bats, throwing bottles and spewing expletives.
And finally, a car plowing into a crowd of pedestrians that left one person dead and 19 injured.
