White nationalist s, neo-Nazis and members of the "alt-right" clash with counter-protesters as they enter Lee Park during the "Unite the Right" rally Aug. 12, 2017, in Charlottesville, Virginia. After clashes with anti-fascist protesters and police the rally was declared an unlawful gathering and people were forced out of Lee Park, where a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee is slated to be removed.

The hatred that spawned a white nationalist rally and led to a counterprotester's death last weekend isn’t unique to Charlottesville, Virginia, although it typically takes a subtler form than burning crosses and filling streets with chanting zealots. Wisconsin hasn’t had a significant public hate rally since ...

Following violent clashes at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend, white nationalist Richard Spencer tried to hold a private press conference in Washington, DC, on Monday. But two different hotels in DC canceled on him before the events were scheduled to start. In the end, Spencer, a leader of the alt-right movement, had to hold the press conference in an apartment he calls an office and part-time residence across the river in Alexandria, Virginia. Spencer, who was in Charlottesville and participated in the rally, has denied that he was one of the organizers of the events there this weekend. He was, however, prominently displayed on flyers advertising the rally. Spencer declined to join organizers at a press conference in Charlottesville this weekend, but said he would hold one in DC on Monday. He initially planned to hold a press conference at 3 p.m. at the Sofitel Hotel in downtown DC, just a few blocks from the White House. The location was kep...

Follow KDKA-TV : Facebook | Twitter RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — The woman killed when a car plowed into a crowd of people protesting a white nationalist rally in Virginia was described as a “ true American hero ” who died doing what she loved — standing up for people. Two state troopers also died when their helicopter crashed in a wooded area while deployed as part of a large- scale police effort to contain Saturday’s violence. They were remembered for their commitment and love of their jobs. Heather Heyer, 32, was among the hundreds of protesters who had gathered in Charlottesville to decry what was believed to be the largest gathering of white supremacists in a decade — including neo-Nazis, skinheads and Ku Klux Klan members — who descended on the city to rally against plans to remove a Confederate statue. Felicia Correa, a longtime friend of Heyer, said the slain woman died standing up for people of color and called her a “ true American hero .” She said she spoke with Heyer’s mother,...

James Alex Fields Jr ., the 20-year-old Ohio man police say deliberately accelerated his car into a crowd of counterprotesters on Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing a young woman, appeared in court today for the first time and was denied bail. Heather Heyer, 32, an activist who was protesting against a white nationalist gathering that was taking place in the city that day, was killed in the crash. At least 19 others were injured. Attorney General Jeff Sessions told ABC News on Monday that the incident "does meet the definition of domestic terrorism" under U.S. law, and confirmed that the Department of Justice is pursuing what Fields allegedly did "in every way that we can make a case." Here's what we know about Fields, his background, and the alleged crime he perpetrated: Fields "thought Nazis were pretty cool guys " in the words of Derek Weimer, who told ABC News that he taught World History to Fields, as well as a course called Am...

Of all the reactions and criticisms to the fallout from the deadly rightwing rally in Charlottesville, Va., we’ve been most impressed by the thoughts of former Supreme Court chief justice and Republican attorney general Jim Jones . Writing for the Times-News , Jones recounted Idaho ’s dark history with white supremacists at Hayden Lake and the role conservative leaders played in driving neo-Nazis out of the state. The key, Jones said, were the Republican leaders who quickly and forcefully condemned white supremacy and the ideals of hatemongers. That’s why it’s so troubling now to see Idaho conservatives failing so spectacularly. Prime examples include Rep . Heather Scott of Blanchard and Rep. Bryan Zollinger of Idaho Falls. In a Facebook post last week, Zollinger posited it was “completely plausible” that Democrats staged the events in Charlottesville to smear President Donald Trump . The theory is not only disgusting but entirely not plausible, considering video of the event sh...

“Colorado residents fed up with what they see as the state’s failure to protect people and the environment are fighting fossil- fuel development inside their towns by making new rules requiring odor control , bigger setbacks and company disclosure of underground oil and gas flowlines,” reports The Denver Post . “But the industry and state government are ready to fight back. An odor- control measure in Erie, letting police hit companies with tickets for foul fumes, takes effect next week. Erie, Broomfield, Thornton and Lafayette are each developing map submission rules , with leaders saying the fatal April 17 house explosion in Firestone makes this a no-brainer. Broomfield residents also will vote on whether to change their charter to require protection of health, safety and the environment as preconditions before drilling inside city limits can be done.” “At the urging of Councilwoman Polly Christensen , Longmont has posted a link on its city government home page to the City Co...

Some of the most uncontrolled moments in Donald Trump’s rallies come, for one reason or another, when he, with a piece of paper in hand, recites his own past statements. That was the case in December, 2015, when he read aloud his call for a complete and total ban on Muslims entering the United States, punctuating it with phrases like “What the hell is going on!” And it was the case at the Phoenix Convention Center on Tuesday night, in a performance that was, by turns, ranting, rambling, whining, bitter, and—given that the speaker is the President of the United States—frightening. Trump read excerpts from various remarks that he had made about the Unite the Right gathering in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the violence that it had sparked. Perhaps reading his own turns of phrase just excites him—“The words are perfect!” he said at one point in Phoenix, with an expression of dazed appreciation. Or perhaps it serves him to regard himself in the third person, as a character for whom he c...
