They do, in fact, have no right to express their positions. And they were not attacked. The first violence broke out around the statue of Thomas Jefferson, where the counterprotestors where present. They were surrounded by the Unite the Right crowd, and that's where the scuffle broke out. The only people holding the tiki torches that were flung were the white nationalists.

As a point of fact, regardless of whether one believes neo-Nazis should have the right to express their deplorable beliefs, it has long been settled in the United States that they have the right to do so in a non-violent fashion.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
