The thing about this assembly is that if Antifa hadn't shown up, and it was just the southern nationalists, National Socialists, white ethnonationalists, Alt-Righters, Proud Boys, and Oathkeepers[0] who planned the assembly, and the members of the peaceful counter-assembly, no fights would have broken out, and some people would walk away just looking very misguided.
Instead somebody, unclear who (Edit: now clear who, see replies), rammed a car into a woman who is now dead; and there was enough ruckus to activate the National Guard.
The clear problem here is precisely that speech is being equated to violence, and folks take that to imply that unsavoury speech warrants a violent response.
"A man accused of plowing a car into a crowd of activists here — killing one person and injuring 19 — long sympathized with Nazi views and had stood with a group of white supremacists hours before Saturday’s bloody crash." (Source: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/one-dead-as-car-strikes...)
And it's not just "into a woman", it was into a densely packed crowd of counter-protestors. 1 woman, Heather Heyer, was killed, and 19 were injured.
