Alt-Rights see this as the thin end of the wedge so have put a line in the sand. Society moves and history is not told by statues.

Good documentary from Vice on Charlottesville
The mainstream media’s reaction to the march on the day felt like they were being taken by surprise but Vice was very well prepared
“It really is a triumph of old fashioned beat reporting,” said Josh Tyrangiel, executive vice-president of news at Vice. “She is able to distinguish between the different groups and the fact that she is capable of understanding them gives them some trust that she takes them seriously.”
