/* Counter-protesters */
/* Permits and court case */
removed [[WP:UNDUE]]/[[WP:COATRACK]]/[[WP:RECENTISM]]. There is simply no way this belongs as a top-level section of the article, and was not written neutrally or in a way that summarized reliable *secondary* sources.
/* Alleged connection with the Southern Poverty Law Center */
/* Alleged connection with the Southern Poverty Law Center */ added context
/* 2026 Federal indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center and alleged connections with the rally */ I think this is [[WP:UNDUE]], but at the very least, removed portions not about Unite the RIght rally, and trimmed details not supported by the cited sources.
/* 2026 federal indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center and alleged connections with the rally */ Context
Undid revision [[Special:Diff/1350613901|1350613901]] by [[Special:Contributions/Objective3000|Objective3000]] ([[User talk:Objective3000|talk]]) I'm afraid I also did include a reliable secondary source. I removed the government source AND added another reliable one. Both secondary btw
Restored revision 1350613094 by [[Special:Contributions/SimpleObjects-9ei|SimpleObjects-9ei]] ([[User talk:SimpleObjects-9ei|talk]]): I'm afraid the governemnt is not a reliable source. We require a reliable secondary source.
/* 2026 federal indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center and alleged connections with the rally */ Add another reliable source
