#1 I don't see that's so unexpected about it. The progressives/melanin enriched/sexually aberrant keep treating white males the way Europeans treated Jews. But, these are not Jews: they are not a minority forbidden to own weapons. The fact that every antifa/BLM demonstration does not encounter sniper fire, shows how tolerant (maybe too tolerant) white male americans are.

#2 Violent tribalism at Charlottesville? It is a tested model the left has used since at least the 1960's and perhaps even before. The model is:

1. Some dog-whistle event is sponsored by some group.
2. The sponsoring group is usually the left. If an opposing group shows up, all the better.
2. It is usually sold as a "peaceful" protest.
3. A relatively small group of thug elements shows up to introduce violence. These are the hard-core professional activists, the head busters.
4. Violence then occurs.
5. Maybe someone dies, say someone on the left.
6. The MSM goes nuts and demonizes whoever is against their agenda.
7. They (the left and its propaganda arm, the MSM) hope fervently, that the death will be due to some stupid act by a white male extremist who is at the sponsored event.
8. The hapless person who gets killed often is some innocent.
9. The press and the left goes into a feeding frenzy with their martyr and endless stories about this 'terrible, terrible, most horrible event.'

I've observed this same model or some variation of it used over and over during the past fifty years or so. During the 1960's, there were hard core sponsored thugs working behind the scenes to promote violence in such things as Kent State. Bill Ayers and associates traveled to the Mideast prior to the Arab Spring to "express solidarity." You'd think the press would catch on but most likely they don't 'catch on' because they are ideologically in step with those who promote these events.

#3 Political violence has well established roots. Interesting bit on the bombers and their prison sentences:

Robert Fassnacht was a 33-year-old postdoctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. On the night and early morning of August 23/24, 1970, he had gone to the lab to finish up work before leaving on a family vacation.[20] He was involved in research in the field of superconductivity. At the time of the explosion, Fassnacht was in his lab located in the basement level of Sterling Hall. He was monitoring an experiment when the explosion occurred.[21] Rescuers found him face down in about a foot of water. He was survived by his wife, Stephanie, and their three children, a three-year-old son, Christopher, and twin one-year-old daughters, Heidi and Karin.

Injured in the bombing were Paul Quin, David Schuster, and Norbert Sutler. Schuster, a South African graduate student,[22] who became deaf in one ear and with only partial hearing in the other ear,[23] was the most seriously injured of the three, suffering a broken shoulder, fractured ribs and a broken eardrum; he was buried in the rubble for three hours before being rescued by firefighters. Quin, a postdoctoral physics researcher, and Sutler, a university security officer, suffered cuts from shattered glass and bruises.[2] Quin, who became a physics professor at U. W. Madison, always refused to discuss the bombing in public.[23]
