Definitely a setup like unite the right. Too few cops and other security with weeks worth of knowing the protest was happening, they were let in with video proof, cops started the day hot by arresting someone on the sidewalk after slamming him to the pavement which lead to them being chased inside the Washington monument, most of the stuff the mayor said she'd do to make it harder for the protesters wasn't done, national guard out there in record time. This was wanted and pretty much forced to happen.
