Charlottesville, Va



These photos were taken by the accredited photographers during the riots in Charlottesville on Saturday, August 12.  The MSM is replete with photos and stories of atrocities committed by the alt-right, white supremacist protesters, and those have served to inflame the country against these odious white supremacists.  This anthology shows that there indeed was another armed and belligerent side rioting that Saturday, the alt-left, as Trump claimed, and as any honest, pragmatic consumer of news must have surmised. 

None of this condones in any way or manner, the corrosive and anti-American message and actions of the white supremacists during these riots, but this gives a bit more of an intellectually honest look at the situation.
