"Not one person went to the hospital outside of the auto incident which David you can't protect against that I mean but not one person went to the hospital from the rally, not one ounce of property damage and not one gunshot was sacked so I will tell you this the Charlottesville police were in charge they did a magnificent job".

Law enforcement in Charlottesville have received widespread criticism from counter-protesters, bystanders, and participants of the white nationalist "Unite The Right" rally.

The crowd then swarm on the white supremacist and force him away from the podium.

"We hope that the city will focus tomorrow on managing the expected crowds using de-escalation tactics and flexibility, and avoid the kind of over-militarized response that was mounted on July 8", they added.

Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK, neo-Nazi and all extremist groups.

White nationalists are said to be planning more demonstrations to promote their agenda.The University of Florida said white provocateur Richard Spencer, whose appearances sometimes stoke unrest, is seeking permission to speak there next month.

The president's homeland security adviser, Tom Bossert, defended the president's statement by suggesting that some of the counter-protesters were violent too. City officials had announced earlier this week that the protest must be moved to a different park further from the downtown area as they expect thousands of protestors to show up. Media reports claimed that he belonged to a white supremacist group in Ohio.

The mother of Heather Heyer, who was killed during the anti-fascist protests in Virginia, has said she wants her daughter's death to be a "rallying cry for justice and equality".

Kendall Bills, who attended the counter-demonstration with her partner, says she was attacked by one of the rallygoers but police did nothing.

In addition to the vehicle ramming, a state police helicopter monitoring the events crashed into the woods, killing two troopers. Police also ordered crowds at one downtown intersection to disperse.

President Trump on Saturday condemned the "egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides" in Charlottesville.

Trump, while on a working vacation at his New Jersey golf club, tweeted: "We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for".

"She would literally sit in the office and cry at times because she was anxious about what was going to happen to the country", Mr Wilson said. "There is no place here for you".

On Monday, Trump made a statement from the White House, saying, "Racism is evil".

On Twitter and television, Republican senators Ben Sasse, Marco Rubio, Orrin Hatch and Cory Gardner were quick to criticize the president's failure to mention the terror groups by name.

The White House has since said the President condemns white supremacist groups.

And Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia, who spoke to Trump in the hours after the clashes, said he twice "said to him we have to stop this hateful speech, this rhetoric".

"You have not learn'd of Nature - of the politics of Nature you have not learn'd the great amplitude, rectitude, impartiality".

A later tweet used typically Trumpian language to describe the turn of events in the Virginia city, which prompted the state's governor to declare a state of emergency: "Charlottesville sad!"
