Sure they did.
The protestors didnt leave their designated area untill they were forced out by the police.

Same as the protestors.
However the anti protestors did not have the right to assemble or attack the protestors no mater how much they dislike what they say.
Clearly it is not legal to engage in assault, but I think the rest of your statement is iffy. Can you prove that the counterprotesters organized ahead of time rather than gathered spontaneously?

Even if they gathered spontaneously, it docent matter. They attacked the protestors at the university then the next day at the park. They were in the wrong.

Logic seems to defy some of the posters here. They would rather put a spin of lies. It doesn't matter whether you agree with what others say or not but when you see the voice of any group belittled you realize you could be next. The protestors rights were stomped on.

I saw many posts on the Antifa and extreme leftist boards announcing the event..some people were asking for rides, other organizing meeting points and lodging. It is hard for a group so loaded with out of state participants to have formed 'spontaneously'.

They marched around waving torches at people on Friday night and beat a black man in a parking garage on Saturday. They carried shields and weapons. Those are not the actions of peaceful protestors. That's a group that came prepared to wreak havoc.

Think about this for a moment. Racists from around the country descended on this small city and held it hostage, shutting down commerce and sucking up law enforcement resources to control the chaos, indirectly leading to the death of two state police officers. And if it can happen in Charlottesville, it can happen anywhere, including your city.
The radical left always interferes with peaceful Trump Supporters ,no Nazi flags,no hate just support for our president and the hooded violent guys have to show up. Happened in a small town in NJ.

According to a NYT reporter the counter protesters did "attack white nationals".

Protestors do NOT need to get anyone's permission to protest. They do NOT have to abide by "you can protest here, but you can't there".

Protest does NOT include intentionally harming others but one does NOT need permission to protest.

The whit nationals were not stomped on because of their hateful speech they were stopped because they incited violence. No problem if they would of stayed where they had a permit and stood there spewing their hatred instead of acting on it. Why do you and others seem to want to ignore their violence ?
