Members of a militant white-supremacist organization called the Rise Above Movement, the men arrived in town “with their hands taped and ready to do street battle,” said Thomas T. Cullen, the United States attorney for the Western District of Virginia. They punched, kicked, head-butted and pushed the counterprotesters, according to court papers, and were “among the most violent individuals present in Charlottesville.”
Their organization’s propaganda contains “fascistic themes of emasculated young white men needing to reclaim their identities through learning to fight and engaging in purifying violence,” according to court papers. The men had also committed acts of “violence and brutality” in cities in California including Huntington Beach, Berkeley and San Bernardino, the government said.
It's always been a tactic of fascist though, play the victim while simultaneously counter-accusing the opposition. Salazar did it, Mussolini did it, Hitler did it, Franco did it, all to great effect.
all true, it saddens me things like race and religion are still an issue. If someone wants to pray it doesn't hurt me, if someone is black or white I don't care. Same with gender issues as long as they are adults who gives a damn. Same for gays... why do these people hate Rob?
Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.

eg Maxine Waters comment about telling people to 'get into peoples faces', to challenge people's thoughts and beliefs; spun as violence. While the Cult of Trump cheered when Trump openly told his supporters to "punch" and attack people, have them carried out on their backs.
