Yesterday’s protests in Charlottesville, VA, which ended in 3 dead, became a hot-button issue across social media. As former VP Joe Biden tweeted, there is only one side to this. A group of alt-right Nazis created unrest and instability in a once peaceful town that has become a flash point for discussions of free speech and xenophobia.
As the rest of the country waits for our President to say something, anything, condemning the actions of modern-day Nazis, the EDM community has spoken out regarding the tragedy.
My heart goes out to those affected by the ignorance and pure idiocy of some people that call themselves "Americans" in Charlottesville

sending out 100% love to the victims of the Terrorist Nazi Attack in VA, which Trump has condoned by not condemning: Stand Up To Hate ❤️

We need to learn to love more and hate less. It's the most human thing we can possibly do. pic.twitter.com/rMNI1htLYh

Let's say what @realDonaldTrump and @GOP are too afraid to say: the racists in #charlottesville are human garbage.

Hey @realDonaldTrump the racists marching in #Charlottesville are YOUR supporters. Your racist speech has empowered them. They are yours.
