A 45-second video by Brennan Gilmore (formerly of Progressive Tom Perriello's staff) shows a car driving into counter-protesters in Virginia, then reversing, gives an idea of the terror in Charlottesville, VA, this afternoon. Three deaths and at least 35 injuries have been recorded in Charlottesville today.

Charlottesville is known as home to our nation's third, fourth and fifth presidents; Jefferson, Madison and Monroe.

Lee from the city's Emancipation Park. When fighting broke out, police broke up the demonstration before it began.
