Add another casualty to this weekend’s Nazi-fest in Charlottesville, University of Virginia librarian Tyler Magill suffered a stroke from a blow he received Friday when he joined in counter protests against Unite the Right.
“Doctors determined the stroke was caused by physical trauma that Magill, 46, had suffered in recent days to an artery in his neck.
The only injury he suffered, according to friends, was when he was hit in the neck with a torch at Friday's confrontation.
By Wednesday afternoon, his wife, Sena Magill, said he was sounding better but remains confused and didn't remember much about the injury that led to the stroke….
(His friend, Lisa) Moore said she is frustrated by the assertion that both sides in this weekend's confrontations were at fault, or that people in Charlottesville should have simply ignored the protesters.
"They came into our town," she said. "We were just defending our town. ... It was like a war zone. Nobody wants that."
Librarians will stand up to Neo-Nazis — but our President won’t.
Here’s wishing Tyler a full recovery.
