The Most Powerful Images From This Weekend's Violence in Charlottesville

On Saturday, white nationalists and Neo-Nazis flooded the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia, for a “Unite the Right” march to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue - their Confederate flags, swastikas and pointed hats proudly on display.

As expected, the rally was met by counter-protestors and things took a violent turn. Shouting matches morphed into brawls, and police dressed in full riot gear were forced to whip out the tear gas and smoke bombs.

But the real tragedy occurred when a man intentionally drove his car into a group of counter-protestors, killing 32-year-old Heather D. Heyer and wounding over a dozen others.

President Trump called this weekend’s events an “egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence.” Many others, including White House National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, went even father in condemning the violence, labeling it an act of domestic terror.

Here are twenty of the most powerful images from this weekend in Charlottesville.
