>>I agree with what you are saying. I don't like Nazis but since the Constitution guarantees them the freedom of assembly and expression of their view, I will not go fight them.

My understanding is that around 200 self-described Neo-Nazis and people wearing KKK hats, mostly from out of state, turned up to this protest. The rest were locals who didn't invite those others and reasonably shouldn't be lumped in with them.

An unknown number of Antifa and other violent groups also turned up, mostly from out of state, to rumble not with just the 200, but all of the protestors. Antifa has a track record of using violence to interfere in peaceful exercise of civil rights, so no surprise there.

Is it reasonable to label the protest as a White Supremecist/Neo-Nazi event, with protestors entirely responsible for violence?

That's the question Trump seems to hint at. I guess we'll see. I'm with Trump that there's no obligation to pile on blaming, especially if you only have one side of a story.

As for those idiots wearing the KKK hats: US society marginalized and ridiculed them successfully for decades until their presence suited a certain narrative, at which point they suddenly were given publicity and free oxygen. A reasonably reciprocation of blaming would be that the MSM are responsible for any escalation of KKK violence because they are the ones restoring credibility to this ridiculous Democrat tradition.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
