As reported by The Huffington Post:
New rules implemented on Twitter Monday have led to the suspensions of accounts belonging to prominent neo-Nazis, white nationalists and other far-right extremists.
[...] "You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people," states Twitter's rule for "violent extremist groups," which went into effect Monday.
"This includes, but is not limited to, threatening or promoting terrorism," the rule continues. "You also may not affiliate with organizations that – whether by their own statements or activity both on and off the platform – use or promote violence against civilians to further their causes."
[...] The "alt-right ― a loose association of neo-Nazis, white nationalists, assorted racists, fascists, and other far-right elements that has used Twitter for years to organize and recruit ― anticipated today's "purge," with many preparing to make the jump to Gab, a largely rules-free micro-blogging platform used primarily by white nationalists.

And, you're making stuff up, twice. The Charlottesville crowd weren't "alt-right", They were genuine Nazis and/or neonazis.
Secondly, the Nazis were attacked by your peaceful left crowd - physically attacked.
Oh - third. If they were armed with assault rifles, why is it that the guy drove his car over the communist bitch who died? Why didn't he just shoot her, and avoid damaging his car?
Your narrative needs a lot of work.

Maybe that is because, quite literally, none of it is true? Don't be a useful idiot, Runaway. Just stay the Normal Arkansas idiot we all know and love.

Neo-Nazis are a major part of the alt-right. Just ask Richard Spencer, and major alt-right leader and white supremacist.
The Nazis weren't attacked according to the journalism I read, and the accounts by peaceful churchgoing protesters, who actually thanked the antifa people for their assistance (though they were really surprised they'd be allied with them).
"Communist bitch"? That proves that you're another white supremacist asshole just like all the Nazis. Welcome to my enemy list.

there was violence initiated by both side, I remember seeing a 5-10 minute video compilation (I think it was by ben shapiro) of instance of violence after another alternating instances where the alt-right and antifa started it
neither side was looking good in Charlottesville
both sides had groups that came there ready and hoping for a fight
and yes the guy with car -from what I know- was definitely the worst one of the lot that day
