US Police Arrest 3 Individuals over Far-Right Rally in Charlottesville

The lone victim killed during a peaceful counter-protest against white supremacist hate during the Charlottesville, Va., rally Saturday, has been identified as Heather Heyer.

Protesters and counterprotesters started throwing things at one another, including plastic bottles and gas bombs, and at one point the two groups charged one another and there were tussles.

The Governor of Virginia has urged white supremacists gathering in Charlottesville to “go home” after ugly clashes with anti-fascist demonstrators that left three people dead.

A 32-year-old woman was killed and about 20 were injured when a speeding vehicle slammed into marchers Saturday protesting a “Unite the Right” rally planned by white nationalists.

Groups in Santa Ana, downtown Los Angeles, Oakland and other parts of the state said they are appalled by the displays of violence in Virginia and say President Donald Trump has not done enough to denounce it. The driver fled and was located and arrested moments later, police said.

The reporter then informed the woman Mr Fields allegedly killed a woman with the auto and injured at least 24 other people. He said the protesters would fulfill the promises of President Trump.

Hours after the auto crash, two Virginia state troopers were killed after a police helicopter crashed 7 miles (11 km) southwest of the historic college town, increasing the death toll in connection with the white supremacist rally to three. “This has been going on for a long, long time”. Let us heal. This is not our story.

The controversial “Unite the Right” march was organised to protest the removal of a statue honouring Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Army in the 19th-century American Civil War.

Virginia state police confirmed that Lieutenant H. Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates were killed in the crash.

President Donald Trump tweeted condolences to the troopers’ families earlier Saturday. Pockets of violence erupted throughout the city as white nationalists, white supremacists and neo-nazis clashed with their detractors, igniting in a flashpoint with the vehicular attack.
