As much as the white-supremacist crowd should rightfully be reviled, they had a right to be there, and that right was confirmed by court order prior to Saturday. If folks had just ignored them, this would not have been a national story. Sadly, a very sick man with a history of mental illness drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters and killed someone, and injured others. The violence was already out of hand by then, however.

No one is trying to "equate" anything here. But before we can understand the true nature of an issue, there has to be a way to look at it objectively and honestly.
Excellent article and a good post expect for your second sentence which begin with if. The white supremacist went there knowing they would not be ignored. Your second sentence could be interpreted as that of an apologist and a contradiction of your opening statement.
