Aug 12, 2017 People of Virginia voted to take down a confederate statue which is symbolic of racism/civil war. White supremacy groups decided to go protest the removal of the statue arguing that the government is erasing their white heritage. These guys came to protest the statue in riot gear & armed with sticks/bats/guns etc. This eventually led to clashes among these white supremacists and people protesting them.
