Some additional reactions in the same CNN story :

"In my 47 years of association with @UVA, this was the most nauseating thing I've ever seen. We need an exorcism on the Lawn," Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia Center for Politics tweeted.

Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer released a statement referring to Friday's rally as a "cowardly parade of hatred, bigotry, racism, and intolerance march down the lawns of the architect of our Bill of Rights."

My computer speakers are down... I wonder whether people were using a tune to which the lyrics began

"Die Fahne hoch! Die Reihe fest erschlossen!"

(The [Nazi] flag raised high/ our ranks in tight formation!)

(the infamous Horst-Wessel Lied   banned in all parts of Germany and Austria since 1945 as an expression of Nazism)

I'm surprised that the Klan never adopted that tune. 

Torchlight parades? Hitler recognized that political rallies at night better impress tired, receptive crowds. Note well that the typical Klan rally is staged at night and has a "cross-lighting" ceremony.

Disgusting people.

Also, why do we report whenever they march? Isn't that just giving them more of a platform?

[Coraxion]

These are the real thugs.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Oh come on guys they just have "economic anxiety"

[Santander]

Still using Tiki torches, I see.

So, the rubes emerged from their trailer parks for a weekend...

[Tender Branson]

Looks like the US-version of Themar. Just without the right-rock tunes ...

This is a totally shameful thing to happen at my school, but no, these are not trailer park rubes, rednecks, or hillbillies. These are regular, middle class white people coming out of their cocoons and showing their real selves.

Tiki torches are so scary amirite??

[Kamala]

Imagine having no redeemable qualities whatsoever so you have to convince people it's your race that makes you superior

Sure, sure. And those Oath Keepers with assault weapons just roaming around the streets? All hell would break loose if a group of black people decided to show up like that. Stop trying to trivialize this.

Everytime something like this happens, my appreciation deepens for that joke about how we should all aspire to have the confidence of a mediocre white man.

[Frozen Sky Ever Why]

Exactly how does someone "work on" being disfigured?

[The_Doctor]

I see the dregs of society have kindly identified themselves before they run for anything. Excellent.

[publicunofficial]

Remember when Berkley students successfully stopped one of these from happening, and apparently we were all supposed to be outraged that they did?

This golum's always been a c*nt

Wouldn't be surprised if he's there as we speak.

No, I don't feel like being brutalized by your side.

You ought to try and format your sentences properly before trying to "burn" me.
