How many people were arrested in Charlottesville??

There were clearly many violent acts but I have seen that only that one man (or chicken shit) who ran down Heather Heyer was arrested? Does someone have number of others who were arrested? There are photos and videos of violent assaults online.

There should be stories about the city jail did not have room for all of them.

I have been saying for years, these people should be ostracized from civilized society. I want to send thank you letters to every employer that fires a person because they are hate-bag assholes.

Are the state police? Is the FBI?

I appreciate private citizens doing that, but where are the authorities? Where are the feds? Those are hate crimes.

Daniel Bowen(sp) has also been identified and I'm sure will be arrested.

Not enough.

Edit: Just found this.

Yesterday Virginia State Police announced the arrest of three suspects in connection with Jason Kessler’s Unite the Right (UTR) rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The White Supremacy movement has been systematically infiltrating law enforcement for decades, they have tens of thousands of neo Nazi police officers embedded in departments all across the country. The police did nothing to stop these Trump supporters from committing terrible assaults on hundreds of people. This was planned, if this had been any other group, hundreds of them would have been arrested.
