White nationalists return to Charlottesville

White nationalists returned to Charlottesville, Va. on Saturday less than two months after one person was killed and dozens were injured when violence broke out after the "Unite the Right" rally.

White nationalist leader, Richard Spencer, led the group of roughly 30 white nationalists, which gathered at Emancipation Park, according to the Charlottesville's CBS affiliate.

he scene was similar to the white nationalist protest in the normally quiet college town last August.

The group carried tiki torches and chanted "You will not replace us," by a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in the park. They also reportedly said, "we will be back."

"Hello Charlottesville, we're back and we're going to keep coming back. You will not replace us, you will not erase us," a protester on a megaphone said.

Stayed there about 15 min. That is a singular piece of hate filled fraudulent shit. He along with a few other bastards on the west coast are trying to make a career out of this Nazi shit.

Easily had this been advertised.This shit is much worse than the "free speech" people realize. They have been energized by the killing of Heather Heyer. They are a dangerous gang of shit criminals and social outcasts with a new found identity.

They got out of there in 15 minutes before anyone could show up with cameras to take photos of their nazi asses and expose them online.

What an utter and complete douche bag. If anyone else should be murdered by one of his racist goons during one of these return visits he is promising, Spencer should be charged as an accessory, even if he isn't there.

How many nazi/kkk/russian rallies have to take place at these monuments to hate before it's enough?

Do more innocent people need to die first?
