David Duke was there. When they let him talk on MSNBC the caption on the bottom of the screen read GRAND WIZARD DAVID DUKE. Grand Wizard? In 2017. The last thing we should do with these people is take them seriously. Let them take their tiki torches and chant at confederate statues. Who cares? They need to be ignored, and maybe sometimes mocked.

Well, they did shut down the rally before it started. This planned rally was making national news more than a week ago before any counter protesters were involved, so to say it would have been ignored if not for the counter protesters is not accurate.
When the point of a rally is to intimidate and eliminate a certain point of a population, I think people are well within their rights to stand up to that behaviour. Especially, considering they brought in people from across the country to make these statements in a city that overwhelmingly rejects any of those thoughts.
