00:14woods on Saturday as tensions boiled over at a white supremacist rally. The violent

00:20day left three dead, dozens injured and Charlottesville, a quiet college town, a bloodied symbol of

00:25the nation's roiling racial and political divisions. The chaos erupted around what is

00:30believed to be the largest group of white nationalists to come together in a decade,

00:34including neo-Nazis, skinheads and members of the Ku Klux Klan. They descended on the

00:38city to take America back by rallying against plans to remove a confederate statue.
