  • In August 2017, a set of mugshots was circulated on social media along with the claim that they showed members of the anti-fascist group Antifa who had been arrested while protesting a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia: These mugshots were not related to the infamous white nationalist Unite the Right rally held in Charlottesville on 12 August 2017. Rather, these mugshots were taken after a labor rights protest in Portland, Oregon, over three months earlier: It's unclear if any of pictured individuals were specifically connected to an Antifa group, although the Washington Post noted that the May Day march in Portland did involve a large number of antifascists: Not only does the graphic in question not depict Antifa members who were arrested for protesting the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, but it includes far too many people to be related to arrests stemming from the Unite the Right rally. According to an Associated Press report, only four men were arrested in connection with violence that broke out at the Charlottesville rally: James Alex Fields, Jr. was arrested and charged with second-degree murder after he after he drove his car into a crowd of protesters and killed a woman, and three other men were also arrested for various crimes: Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe also called for the arrest of those who were seen on a video severely beating a black man named Deandre Harris during the rally. Chris Cantwell, a white nationalist who was interviewed by Vice before the rally, may also face charges related to his attendance at the event. (en)
