Violence between demonstrators and counter-demonstrators erupted this afternoon. Several people were injured after fights broke out on the streets during the rally organized by White Nationalists and Neo-Confederates.

Governor McAuliffe has declared a state of emergency, while the Charlottesville Police Department has proclaimed an unlawful assembly against the protest.

Law enforcement has asked everyone to leave the area or they will be arrested. However, a crowd is still gathered.

Onlookers and protesters have taken to social media to discuss the events:

Any member of Congress who doesn’t condemn the actual Nazis in #Charlottesville has to go. Coward or sympatheizer, same difference.

If people of color showed up to protest with weapons and shields it would be handled differently. These are white terrorist #Charlottesville

First Lady, Melania Trump recently tweeted about the unfortunate events:

Our country encourages freedom of speech, but let’s communicate w/o hate in our hearts. No good comes from violence. #Charlottesville

After a delay, President Trump responded with the following:

Am in Bedminster for meetings & press conference on V.A. & all that we have done, and are doing, to make it better-but Charlottesville sad!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 12, 2017

We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 12, 2017

So far one casualty has been reported. However, the tension and violence continue. In an unbelievable act, this car was caught on camera plowing into a crowd of counter-demonstrators.
