Are there any Charlottesville photos showing white women marching as nazis, kkk, or supremacists? (Original Post) Mrs. Overall Aug 2017 OP

I am wondering about age as well. I feel like every photo is depicting college-age white men. Mrs. Overall Aug 2017 #2

The fact that these movements have so many "young" people is disturbing.

There weren't many, but yeah, there were women proud to be seen with the white supremacists.

There's one video from yesterday with a procession of highly armed "militia" that includes several women.

Hate Thy Neighbor hung out with a neoNazi family. Mom came across as the one who drank the most Kool-Aid. But that was more of a look at family life.

And a guy rolls in fists blazing and hits a girl - she turns - chases him fists flying, and he retreats big time!

Not sure who was who in that scene - but some one needs to make a gif of it!

Maybe 2-3% max. In the dozens. Only a couple on Friday night. Many more on Saturday. There were a couple of videos posted Saturday morning showing groups marching in with some women mixed in. Still overwhelmingly male. I haven't been able to find those posts again.

The crowds on Friday night and on Saturday looked really different. Saturday was older, more militaristic, ... Had a different look all around (e.g. clothing, more beards).

Here is one woman protester at #16, maybe a second. The Heil Trump video is also in this tread.

One had swastika tattoos on his arm, the other was a rapper sporting a confederate flag. That was more unexpected than white women being white nationalists.
