In case you missed it, this weekend groups of neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and members of the KKK carrying torches and weapons invaded Charlottesville, VA and clashed with counter protesters fighting against bigotry. A woman has been killed after one of the bigots rammed his car into a crowd of counter protesters, wounding 19.
