The Southern Poverty Law Center describes Kessler as a “relative newcomer to the white nationalist scene” who may have been active in Occupy Wall Street before undergoing a political transformation. A University of Virginia graduate, he gained notoriety for his campaign against a black Charlottesville City Council member, who resigned after Kessler surfaced a series of years-old offensive tweets. Kessler was arrested during May’s torchlit rally in Charlottesville that was a precursor to Saturday’s event.

Rumors abound on white nationalist forums that Kessler’s ideological pedigree before 2016 was less than pure and seem to point to involvement in the Occupy movement and past support for President Obama.

The demonstrators had a permit and approval of the local court to hold their rally in Lee Park. Does anyone believe there would have been a problem if they were just left alone? The protestors had no permit and created a situation which caused the problem. I guess it demonstrates that protestors can prevent citizens from exercising their 1st Amendment Rights. Isn't that what is going on in other parts of the country?

A “white nationalist riot”? Didn’t mention it was started by leftists. I’m surprised it didn’t say white “supremacists” riot. The machine better get their act together. Millions of voters support “white nationalism”. And even more support jyst plain nationalism and uniting the right
In fact uniting the right is the DEEP state’s biggist fear.
