People are turning to social media to identify white supremacists who attended last weekend’s violent protest in Charlottesville, Virginia. The white supremacists, including neo-Nazis, skinheads and Ku Klux Klan members, came to protest planned removal of a Confederate statue. Heather Heyer was killed when a man drove his car into a group of counter protesters. Police said the driver was James Alex Fields Jr., described by a former teacher as a Nazi supporter. He is being held in jail on murder and other criminal charges. The Twitter account @YesyoureRacist ran photos of people attending the protest organized under a “Unite the Right” banner. It asks people to identify the people pictured in the photos. At least 10 people have been identified, as of Thursday. @YesyoureRacist’s followers increased from about 60,000 before the Charlottesville protests to over 400,000.
