The white supremacist “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA has resulted in multiple casualties after a vehicle plowed through a crowd.

The victims were members of a large anti-fascist or Antifa rally against the racist gathering and the car may have been used for an intentional act of violence.

One of the victims said, “they were just bulldozing through people.”

“They just hit the gas and hit me…and then people just chased after them, throwing stuff at the car after that,” he explained.

The protesters were chanting, “whose streets, our streets” when the incident occurred.

Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe has declared a state of emergency.
