Virginia governor declares state of emergency ‘ahead of rally’....Why?
Even if the "WHY" is never answered, it clearly indicates that the City of Charlottesville was grossly negligent, at the very least, in granting permits to BLM and AntiFa to be in the same place at the same time as the alt-right Nazi flag waving idiots. The City created a situation that was very predictably going to lead to violence, given the violent rhetoric from both sides. Violence did ensue, and an innocent woman died. The City most certainly deserves to be punished for their actions contributing to her death.
(The Vice Mayor just happens to be racist bigot Wes Bellamy, famous for tweets like "it isn't rape if she's moaning" and "I hate it when black people act white".)
