You're saying the people that participated in the Unite the Right rally, who conspired to commit violence and escalate an already violent event and who were members of what is essentially a terrorist group were just defending themselves?
No, they weren't attacked. They were the aggressors. They have a history of being aggressors. They openly admit to being violent and aggressive.

I like the principle you are espousing here. The people who commit violence, trying to inject/normalize violence and intimidation into the US political system, should be treated as a terrorist group.
They were the aggressors. They have a history of being aggressors. They openly admit to being violent and aggressive.
People who fit the description given by the above three sentences should be treated as a terrorist group. (1 - Aggressors. 2 - History of aggression. 3 - Openly admit to being violent and aggressive.) If you are espousing this principle, I wholeheartedly agree!
Yes, that's what I'm saying. The people with the permit to demonstrate were attacked and defended themselves, and are being railroaded by the justice system. It's not illegal to be proud of defending your right to free speech with self defense.
Meanwhile the people who show up with weapons and masks, and with no permit and incite the violence don't even get arrested.
It even happened a few days ago at a Trump rally. A reporter got harassed and attacked, and nothing will happen to the perpetrators - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j693_xvdGTI
