***Deplorables Gone Wild*** State Of Emergency In VA Amid White Nationalist Protests







Protesters have been arrested at the site of Saturday's "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, state police say. The unspecified number of arrests began shortly after police made a declaration of unlawful assembly at Emancipation Park, the state police said on Twitter.

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has declared a state of emergency "to aid state response to violence" ahead of Saturday's "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, according to a post on his Twitter account.
