I might be looking at this wrong but it seems that this white nationalists rally, which started out peacefully, then turned violent is being used as
a springboard to foster other rally's of discontentment among other ethnic groups?
My understanding is that the rally in Charlottesville was organized by far-right nationalists, in a protest against the plans to remove a monument to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee? The rally was then high jacked by another small group of Nazi-flag waving marchers?
This incident reminds me of Trump's Inauguration when there was protesters against Trump and another group showed up protesting women and gay rights? It makes the crowd look larger for visual effects but you have two different groups, protesting at the same "time and place" on two different topics?
Following Saturday’s violent and tragic events in Charlottesville, Virginia, resulting from a white supremacist demonstration, people in cities across the US gathered to express shock and firmly refute the racist sentiments espoused by Nazi-flag waving marchers.

In Atlanta, Georgia, in Oakland and Los Angeles, California, and many other cities across the country residents spontaneously — and peacefully — gathered to show support for the victims, hope for the US,
and to strongly reject the message of the several hundred predominantly young white males who waved Nazi flags and chanted Nazi slogans during Saturday's violent march in a small Virginia college town.
During a peaceful rally in Los Angeles, supporters condemned racist actions, carrying hand-painted signs including "No KKK, no fascist USA" while a group with a message gathered in nearby Orange County.
The town of Santa Ana, California, also saw a rally stated to be "in opposition to the message of hate," and, "hope not hate," according to a news release, cited by NBClosangeles.com.
Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti issued a statement regarding the tragedy.
"The shocking violence in Charlottesville — and the abhorrent ideology behind it — have no place in America or anywhere in the world," Garcetti said.
"Angelenos and people everywhere condemn these acts of hatred, and are deeply saddened by the loss of life and injuries suffered today," he added.
California Senator Dianne Feinstein, herself no stranger to witnessing political violence firsthand, was one of many elected and appointed officials across the US to condemn the expression of white racial supremacy, according to the South China Morning Post.
"Violent acts of hate and bigotry have no place in America," Feinstein said, adding, "Violence like this will solve nothing and will only beget more violence and sow more division."
Hundreds gathered in the northern California city of Oakland to refute racism and violence on Saturday evening.
Additional spontaneous protests are said to be either ongoing or planned for New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, as well as in the states of Washington and Maryland.
Local police responding to requests for more information asserted that the rallies have been peaceful and that there have been no arrests.
The White House homeland security adviser has defended US President Donald Trump's statement on violence in Virginia.
WH Homeland Security Adviser Stands For Trump's Statement on Virginia Rally
https://sputniknews.com/us/201708131056431128-charlottesville-violence-trump-virginia/
Tom Bossert, the White House homeland security adviser, has defended US President Donald Trump's statement on violence organized by white supremacists in Virginia, and said that the president avoided direct condemnation of the far-right group in order not to "dignify" the movement.
"The president not only condemned the violence and stood up at a time and a moment when calm was necessary and didn't dignify the names of these groups of people, but rather addressed the fundamental issue," Bossert said in the air of CNN on Sunday.
On Saturday, Trump condemned the violence in Charlottesville, organized by far-right nationalists, stating that the events were a "display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides."
Trump subsequently faced fierce criticism for not directly condemning white nationalists of the "Unite the Right" rally.
At the same time,
Bossert said that he condemns "white supremacists and racists and white Nazi groups and all the other groups that espouse this kind of hatred and exclusion."
Then we have a National Security Advisor Herbert McMaster, who seems to be out of touch with reality, stating " the events in Charlottesville are aimed to "incite fear." https://sputniknews.com/us/201708131056429798-terrorism-mcmaster-charlottesville/
"Any time that you commit an attack against people to incite fear, it is terrorism," McMaster said in an interview with ABC.
"… What are we teaching our children around the dinner table, what are we teaching our children in school, we ought to be teaching what makes America exceptional; and that's our commitment to the rights of every individual, liberty, freedom, respect for each other regardless of race, religion."
(Apparently, McMaster never took the time to ask people in Syria, Iraq, etc. what they thought of "American exceptionalism"?)
The United States is "lecturing" the whole world, while being unable to peacefully solve internal problems and conflicts, the Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State-Building told Sputnik Sunday, commenting on the recent major unrest in the US state of Virginia.
Russian MP on Charlottesville: US Should Deal With Own Problems First
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201708131056427322-us-charlottesville-domestic-terrorism-russia/
"Instead of lecturing the whole world regarding the way of organizing life in this or that part of the planet, the United States should learn how to peacefully solve own internal problems and conflicts," Andrey Klishas said.
According to Klishas,
the policy of "overwhelming tolerance" promoted by the US democratic elite in the recent years does not lead to solutions of problems in the society.
"Afterward, these problems turn into violence and disorders and the United States deals with them by means of curfew and restrictions of basic freedoms," the lawmaker added.
On Saturday, Trump strongly condemned the violence in Charlottesville, organized by far-right nationalists, stating that the events were a "display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides," but refrained from blaming any particular group for the outbreak of violence.
Scaramucci Thinks President Should Be Tougher in His Virginia Violence Reaction
https://sputniknews.com/us/201708131056426986-scaramucci-trump-charlottesville-violence-reaction/
US President Donald Trump should have been "harsher" in his statement on the violent clashes between far-right activists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia and call things by their proper names, former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci said Sunday.
"I wouldn't have recommended that statement. I think he needed to be much harsher as it related to the white supremacists and the nature of that… It's actually terrorism and whether it's domestic or international terrorism, with the moral authority of the presidency, you have to call that stuff out," Scaramucci in the air of ABC.
Charlottesville Police Department said that Charlottesville City Council empowers the chief of local police to restrict assembly and movement of persons and vehicles in the city after the violent clashes over the far-right rallies.

Another point of view:
(Natural News) As usual, everything you’re being told about what happened in Charlottesville by the mainstream media is distorted for political effect. To sort it out and find out what really happened (and why it matters), you need to listen to independent, intelligent analysis from someone who was on the scene and saw exactly how many of the key events of the day were staged to deliberately unleash the Antifa mob onto the streets to instigate violence.
Best explanation yet of what happened in Charlottesville: Stefan Molyneux and Faith Goldy report the truth you won’t hear in the media

Stefan Molyneux interviews Faith Goldy in the following informative video.

What’s clear from all this so far, by the way, is that
militant left-wing extremists are now attempting to exterminate White culture in America. All the “tolerance” and “diversity” of the Left, it turns out, excludes straight white Christian males, all of whom are denigrated, suppressed and demeaned by the insane left-wing mob whose exclusionary ideas are, by definition, racist and bigoted. Is it any wonder young white males are tired of being marginalized by an insane left-wing mob rooted in totalitarianism and inherent racism against Whites?
“We either have free speech or we have blood in the streets,” explains Stefan Molyneux, conforming what I’ve also said which is that Google, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter censorship targeting conservative voices is actually a root cause of the escalation of all this violence and social unrest. The radical Left believes that
conservative voices have no right to be heard (and no right to even win elections).
The Left’s open goal is the complete extermination of White culture (and conservative cultures) in America. In essence, the Left is calling for cultural extermination, yet crying out that they are somehow the victims in all this.
Here’s another explanation from one of the event organizers who quickly came to realize the left-wing Governor of Virginia actually conspired to restrict the free speech rights of conservatives while unleashing left-wing Antifa protesters onto the streets in order to instigate violence:
