Two people have been injured after an altercation before the start of a planned white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia today according to the city of Charlottesville's verified twitter account. The injuries are characterized as serious but non-life threatening.
Protestors and counter protestors clashed with weapons and mace under the watchful eyes of police and 'militias' there to keep the peace, but no effort was made to stop the violence. Many showed up armed with riot gear prepared for violence, and they got it.
This came after an unsanctioned white power march through the University of Virginia last night that ended with a number of white nationalists being pepper sprayed and removed after they chanted and marched with torches through campus.
