The routine, unremarkable mass of a rally concealed its lethal component

Evidence

A few months later, in the fall of 2017, at a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, given the name Unite the Right, the peace imploded. Most of the same groups showed up again: Heimbach and the TWP, Vanguard America, some KKK affiliates. Marching with Vanguard, wearing their polo-and-khakis uniform, was James Alex Fields, Jr., a twenty-year-old from Ohio. A few hours later, in front of a horrified crowd and dozens of cameras, he drove his Dodge Charger directly into marching counterprotesters as they turned up a narrow side street, killing thirty-two-year-old Heather Heyer and wounding dozens of others. — Anna Merlan, Republic of Lies, 801
