Supporters of four men facing charges stemming from events around the Aug. 12 white supremacist rally were shouted down by angry protesters as they entered the Charlottesville Circuit Court on Thursday afternoon.

White nationalist blogger Jason Kessler, who organized the deadly rally, was among those targeted by protesters, who called him names and chanted "blood on your hands" as he waited to enter the building.

As people gathered around the courthouse to enter, supporters of one of the men charged were in Justice Park talking with television media when about a dozen protesters began shouting at them and giving them the finger.

Police watched the scene carefully before escorting the supporters to the courthouse as protesters followed.

The supporters were escorted behind a line of officers in their day-to-day uniforms, who separated the groups while protesters chanted "cops and Klan go hand in hand."
