Protesters clashed in the historic college town on Saturday, as white nationalists — some waving Confederate flags, chanting Nazi-era slogans, wearing helmets and carrying shields — converged on the statue of Robert E. Lee in the city’s Emancipation Park and the surrounding streets, and as the police retreated. The protest was the apparent culmination of more than a year of debate and division over the fate of the statue.

Finally!! Sad that it takes such radical white groups to start pushing back. They better tread lightly these boys don't play
Screw BLM there getting a taste of there own racial medicine.
Not the white people protesting in a violent way...I thought only black people did that. They should use any force necessary for this uncalled for protest. Damn thugs lol.

Most of these young people involved have no real understanding of the Civil War or its causes.
They are brainwashed into believing the simple premise that it was all about slavery.
Wrong. There were many politicians in the north who still owned slaves.
The Civil War was about States' rights and their desire to withdraw from the Union of States.
The Southern States found the Federal government to be too intrusive in their business and sovereignty.
These were White Liberals trying their best to divide the races.
3:00 PM If this is Whites trying to divide the races then what do you call it when these statues or replaced with Black statues are they not trying to divide the races?
Thugs everywhere running around VA acting like a bunch of wild animals ..
And now someone is dead. Happy now?
If they replaced w/ a nat turner statue maybe you d have point
