August 12, 2017 - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA: Heavily-armed white supremacists display their weaponry prominently. A large "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, ostensibly to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from Lee Park (now Emancipation Park), was dispersed after a morning of violent clashes. The riot act was read at about 11.40 a.m. The rally brought together the full spectrum of right-leaning activists, from Trump supporters, the heavily-armed alt-right, white supremacists, and neo-Nazi fringes, and was strongly opposed by anti-racists, Black Bloc, Black Lives Matter, and Antifa protestors.
