Jason Kessler, the organiser of the &quot;Unite the Right&quot; rally that ended in violence on Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia, ran away from a botched press conference at 14:00 Sunday after angry protesters descended on him.

The white nationalist was seen fleeing into a police station as the crowd yelled &quot;murderer&quot; and &quot;shame&quot;, chasing him into the building.

Several hundred meters away from the police station, a candlelight vigil was held near City Hall to mourn Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old woman, who was killed after a man drove a car into the crowd the day before.

A rally staged by white nationalists in Charlottesville turned violent Saturday when the group clashed for hours with counter-protesters. Later in the day, a sports car rammed into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing the woman and injuring 19 others.

Two hours after Kessler entered the police station, irritate crowds still had not dispersed from the area. White nationalists and counter-protesters continued to argue with one another outside City Hall.

An older man and woman had a particularly heated exchange outside the station. Afterwards, they spoke with reporters.

&quot;And if you don&#39;t agree with them, you are a racist or a white supremacist,&quot; said the man, a right-wing supporter.

&quot;It&#39;s hard to believe we are doing this in 2017 when a lot of us thought we did this in the 60s,&quot; said the woman, counter-protester.
