Though, given the local, non-violent protesters suffered violence at the hands of the racists and not at the hands of the antifa side, and there wasn't a whole bunch of vandalism or anything, they point the are definitely more inclined to point the finger in one direction.

Outside looking in, it's much easier to lay blame at both sides, but when you look at it from a local's perspective it was two groups battling each other, and one group attacking locals. There were even roaming bands of racist shitstains in the city during the evening that jumped people. The media has covered only a fraction of what happened.

Ultimately, it IS the Nazi's fault. They may not be the smartest tools in the shed, but they absolutely know the reaction they bring out in people. They were fully prepared to be physically attacked as evidenced by the weaponry they brought with them. As such, unless there's irrefuteable evidence that it was the counterprotesters that started every negative interaction and every physical interation AND the Nazis made every attempt to not return the negativity (yeah, right), ultimately, then, the Nazis are to blame.
