“I arrived in Charlottesville at sundown on Friday, where I'd come looking for an ending to the documentary I’m making on Confederate monuments. In two years of covering the debate in New Orleans, I had grown used to hearing monument supporters claim that these statues “have nothing to do with white supremacy.” And here I was driving toward the largest white supremacist rally in decades at Charlottesville’s monument to Robert E. Lee.
The things I saw in Charlottesville were haunting: hundreds of young white men raising torches and Nazi salutes into the air, howling and chanting, “blood and soil.” I saw them beat a man bloody at the base of the University of Virginia's Thomas Jefferson statue, a wave of matching white polos and splintering tiki torches crashing down on their enemy. I watched them cheer through it all.
But nothing troubled me more than when I watched a Nazi disappear.
It was Saturday, and the police had finally called for everyone to clear the park. As I filmed officers opening up a blocked street, a young man ran into view, screaming for help.
He wore the khaki-and-white uniform of the white nationalist group Vanguard America. He had been separated from them and was being chased by at least one protester. He ripped off his shirt and begged the crowd for mercy. He wasn't actually into white power, you see.”
