RE: White supremacists and counter protesters clash in Charlottesville

Maybe the both sides issue, was that the counter protesters were physically assaulting people? I get the notion that we like seeing nazi or nazi like people getting punched, but that doesn't make it legal. It's basically vigilantism, and escalates a situation in which one side is filled with crazy people many of them with guns. I'm shocked more people haven't been murdered at these things, but that just goes to show how big of a non-factor most of these nazi types are.
Hitler and his ilk had a country and a massive army they tried to take over the world with. These guys have 30 somethings who work in a hot dog store that are mostly scared of a physical confrontation.
My thoughts on the lady getting killed is what a waste it was. The outcome of Charlottesville with no 'counter protesters standing up to evil' was they marched with their little tiki torches. Nobody cares. Town removes statue instead of them. And back they go to pizza shops and hotdog stores.
Losing your life over a perceived symbolic victory doesn't seem like a good tradeoff.
