Dozens of white nationalists marched through the University of Virginia campus on Friday night carrying torches while chanting “You will not replace us.”
The demonstrators, who also yelled "blood and soil", a phrase tied to Nazi ideology, made their way through the Charlottesville campus before encircling a group of counterprotesters gathered around a statue of Thomas Jefferson.
A fight broke out, and some of the white nationalists swung their tiki torches at people, according to the Daily Progress.
Protesters wielding torches march through campus chanted "You will not replace us".
Members of both sides were reportedly hit with pepper spray, and several people were treated at the scene for minor injuries.
Police arrived on campus, declared it an unlawful assembly, and ordered the crowds to disperse. At least one person was arrested.

I don't interpret "White Lives Matter" as hateful. The part about Jews puzzles me, but maybe that is a local thing to Charlottesville where they have a lot of New York transplants on the school faculty.
It is unfortunate that it has come to this, but the Charlottesville politicians poking sharp sticks and taunting the townsfolk and locals over a Robert E. Lee statue is what brought this on—"sow the wind, and reap the whirlwind."
I believe that is called the Roman salute.
A dedicated war on whites is how we got to this junction.
heh. Yeah, they do. :-) And oh, do they hate Merkel.
“Torch lit processions look fantastic. White people standing up for themselves is something new and exciting.
How exactly is carrying a torch and chanting “Blood and Soil” and “Jews will not replace us!” exciting to you?
During a Ku Klux Klan rally last month in Charlottesville, Va., members of the KKK [who'd come up from NC according to other reports] are escorted by police past a large group of protesters. The rally drew about 50 Klan members and about 1,000 counterprotesters.

I bet these nuts have funding from unexpected places - those places that NEED these nuts out there, to justify the “protests” they support.
“The part about Jews puzzles me....”
It puzzles you?
People eating mayonnaise puzzles me?
For me, people carrying torches and chanting “Jews will not replace us!” causes great concern.
Exactly. And as usual, we have posters here on FR, and "conservatives"(the McCain/Graham/Rubio/Ryan/Kasich wing of back-stabbers)elsewhere oh-so-willing to join with the fascist progs and aim their fire at those who choose to fight back.
I saw nothing about Jews in the article that you posted.
.
What we need in #Charlottesville is people who are not racist idiots to explain why it is wrong to purge Confederate statues.
“I saw nothing about Jews in the article that you posted.”
“Chanting “White lives matter!” “You will not replace us!” and “Jews will not replace us!”
And there is a video!

Granted, they do not have the best chanting skills, but it is clear what they are chanting.
“Jews will not replace us!”
Absolutely, disgusting.
