On August 12, dozens of neo-Nazis, white supremacists and various other members of the so—called alt-right attended a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate hero Robert E. Lee. The rally, organized by noted white supremacist Ricard Spencer, turned violent, culminating in a shocking act of vehicular homicide when an alt-right marcher rammed his car into a thick crowd of counter-protesters, killing one and injuring dozens more.
