Who do we blame, do we blame the Neos or do we blame the counter protesters for interrupting?
Does the person behind the wheel not suffice enough?

Nah, it's got nothing to do with white nationalism. How would anyone get that idea?
Look at the headliners. What would you call Richard Spencer? How about Matthew Heimbach? I'm assuming you won't push back to hard about calling them out for who they are. About Kessler (a "Proud Boy")? He'll post things like this:
Oh, see not a racist! No... not really...
I just can't for the life of me understand why the unfair fake news media keeps referring to this as a white nationalist rally.
It's clearly a white supremacist rally.

Or does that not fit your perception?
So you don't know who the driver is or what camp he was in and you're just projecting based on situational evidence?

They didn't kill anyone. So...
So they get excused for all their violence because they didn't kill someone today.
Red Herring
Attempting to redirect the argument to another issue to which the person doing the redirecting can better respond. While it is similar to the avoiding the issue fallacy, the red herring is a deliberate diversion of attention with the intention of trying to abandon the original argument.
Strawman Fallacy
Substituting a person’s actual position or argument with a distorted, exaggerated, or misrepresented version of the position of the argument.

Btw we still don't know squat about the perpetrator and his motives. All we have to go on right now is pure speculation. What happened to waiting for some official confirmation before grabbing torches and pitchforks prematurely?
The driver did drive into counter-protestors.
I know that but what happens if he turns out to be a Hillary or Bernie supporter? All i'm reading is please let him be a white male preferably a full blown Nazi so we can blame the violence that occured on the Alt-Right. Sorry but some members are already foaming at there mouths about that prospect and it sickens me.

The senseless death and countless injuries at the hands of a vile Nazi disgusts me and I hope justice is swift for this waste of human skin as there will be a special circle in hell waiting for him.
The mindless violence caused by ANTIFA and the Nazi's today serves as an illustration of the divide that exists in America.
While both groups have the right to free speech, neither has the right to silence speech that they disagree with.
Both ANTIFA and the Nazi's were shining examples of their low IQ base and ideologies. Ironically, today only illustrates that Nazi's and ANTIFA have more in common than they might realize.
