Summary
Highlights
A Canadian participant in the Charlottesville rally describes how racial awareness grew for him following cases like Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, and Tamir Rice, claiming these incidents highlighted a pattern of 'savage' behavior. He contrasts this with white people, suggesting they are not inclined to such actions. He also discusses the need for the right to adopt the Left's political style of camaraderie and activism.
The video documents the alt-right's organized presence, equipped with shields and protective gear, engaging in confrontational chants with counter-protesters. They emphasize their ability to organize in physical space beyond the internet, viewing the protest as a demonstration of their growing power.
As clashes intensify, riot police order dispersal, and a state of emergency is declared. An alt-right organizer expresses outrage about the police shutting down their protest despite having a federal court order, accusing the city of being run by 'Jewish Communists and criminal niggers' and lamenting the suppression of their 'truthful' speech about 'ethnic cleansing.'
A Daily Stormer feature writer outlines the alt-right's objective to show 'anti-white vermin' that America is their country. He states their intention to 'clear them from the streets forever' focusing on removing 'degenerate' elements from white countries. He speaks of unveiling their 'power level' and dismisses counter-protesters as 'anti-white, anti-American filth.'
Witnesses describe the harrowing scene after a car plows into counter-protesters, resulting in injuries and death. A woman recounts performing CPR on a victim who died. Protesters express anger at city officials and police for allowing the alt-right to gather, feeling betrayed and ignored after warning of potential violence.
President Trump's statement condemning violence 'on many sides' is met with criticism. An African-American resident expresses disgust and unsurprise, noting Trump's past rhetoric that seemingly encouraged such actions. Counter-protesters lament that the President failed to acknowledge the deceased victim and point out that racial tensions have always been a reality in Charlottesville.
An alt-right participant, heavily armed, declares the day 'worth it' because 'nobody on our side died,' and praises the 'restraint' shown. He justifies the car attack, claiming the driver was attacked and had to hit the gas, dismissing the victims as 'stupid animals.' He ominously predicts 'a lot more people are going to die' in the pursuit of an ethno-state.
