Virginia Governor Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency Wednesday for Charlottesville, Virginia, in preparation for the one-year anniversary of last year’s deadly white nationalist Unite the Right rally that left three dead and dozens injured. The state of emergency will last from Wednesday through the rally's anniversary Sunday.
Northam said because of anniversary events, rallies, and protests planned in Charlottesville and in nearby Washington, D.C., he ordered a state of emergency to "prepare and coordinate our response to ensure the protection of residents’ lives, property, and Constitutional rights.”

The guy is an ex-occupy Wall Street guy who now talks about white nationalism and invited the klan to the rally... at the last minut he went on ea tear on reddit and other places inviting all the conservatives he could so they could get their pictures taken with the klan.... it was all a setup
Coverage of Charlottesville last year on FR was well done and wall-to-wall.

If anyone needs a reason to donate to Free Republic to keep us alive...
Bunch of crap promulgated by the Democratic panic party to make it look like Trump is causing all this...and the fawning press will give them tons of coverage.
Go Hokies!
One person died as a result of violence at the march. Two people died as a result of an accidental plane crash.
I'm not sure why Newsweek would want to make the number of violence-related casualties seem higher than they were.
Hokies would be VA Tech...
Because they can...
Hence the scorn dumped on the Wahoos.....
I cannot absolutely defend the Fighting Gobblers against all accusations of Political Correctness, but Virginia Tech is still light years less left-wing-douche-baggy than the Cavaliers.
And the Klantifa, where were calling black cops and Candace Owens racist last weekend.
Now that’s how you troll the neo-Nazis — make a big deal about it on 8/8.
Yes, “3 dead” instead of “1 dead” is that day’s “hands up, don’t shoot”. Note that they are always careful not to say that the helicopter crash has no relationship to the events of the day. It was in the air at the time and that’s all.
TWo VSP Troopers were killed in a chopper crash as they were responding to C-ville.
YES! Thank you for jogging my memory.
Completely duplicitous.
Thanks. Just gave my daughter a heads up. She lives 2 blocks from the riot area.
She needs to take a road trip.
The “white nationalists” were actually left-wing Obama supporters.
Louie Gomhert has said that the “white nationalists” and the Antifa terrorists were seen getting off the same bus.
A false flag if there was a false flag.
Well known to us.
Try telling it to the MSM.
Stage the National Guard with orders to Kent State any asshole with a mask.
“Should be an exciting weekend.”
I suspect it will be exciting, too. I believe there will be few “white nationalists”, and the black bloc will riot and burn anyways. Then the media will tiptoe around that and spend most of their time on a couple of Confederate flags and the “violent and disproportionate” reaction of the police to having bottles, bricks and feces thrown at them. Maybe there will even be an antifa martyr out of this that the news can wail about for a few weeks.
Background story that was spiked, the chopper had just finished escorting Terry Mcauliffe into Downtown so he could give a speech for the media.
