If it was a Muslim immigrant who ran into a crowd of people, Trump would not have any problem blaming "Radical Islamic Terrorism."

At least one person was killed after a car sped into a crowd of people who were protesting a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday, an event marred by brawls that ended with the governor declaring a state of emergency.
I am heartbroken that a life has been lost here, Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer said in a tweet. I urge all people of good will go home.
At least 19 others were reported injured in the car crash. The Associated Press reported the driver was in police custody. A vehicle hit a group of protesters Saturday afternoon as many rally participants and anti-racism protesters were leaving the area.
Footage from separate witnesses showed a gray sports car with Ohio license plates speeding toward a crowd from at least a block away and then slamming into the back of two vehicles that were surrounded by people, sending bodies flying.
Street medics rushed to the aid of several bloodied victims. State police described the incident as a three-vehicle crash and said they were investigating. The graphic footage was captured by witnesses on social media.

The alt-right leader was complaining that THEY weren't being protected. They hag guns, helmets, etc. for inciting PEACE?
