The elected members of City Council voted to remove and sell the statue, but apparently that doesn't matter. The irony of this action I'm sure will be lost on those who defend the UnitetheWhite movement.
Irony is suffering a painful death.

If the Unite the White movement wants the statue, they can put in a bid.

But to march around with torches, chanting Nazi slogans, intimidating people. What's that about?

If it's a distraction, I doubt Mueller and team are distracted.

If it's a rally-the-Republican-base move, will be interesting to see who tries to minimize it.

It's amazing reading all of these leftist post, none of them acknowledges how violent thier people were today in Charlottesville. Those Nazis were engaged in street battles with someone weren't they? BLM and antifa are not known for thier peaceful methods, they are quite experienced rioters.

The kid in the car wasnt even a part of his legal protest of the statue being taken down. The left sent in tanti protesters to shake things up and succeeded. If they hadnt come to spin the event up, none of this would have happened. You know it to. Your side caused this event to go bad. YOU, the LIBERAL ANTI TOLERANT SIDE> FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL FAIL the LEFT FAILED AND GOT SOMEONE KILLED DUE TO THEIR VIEWS NOT BEING ACCEPTED>
Yes, he was a part of the White Nationalist protest. There are photos of him all over the internet, with his identically dressed cohorts, taking place in the rally, holding a shield with a Nazi symbol on it.

Have you watched videos of the scene before the lunatic drove his muscle car into them? It was a peaceful group of people representing varying ethnicities. There was a counter protestor carrying a sign that said "Love" for God's sake! Stop deflecting. UnitetheWhite INVADED Charlottesville, and the people there have paid a terrible price for it.

There are plenty of images of people on both sides engaging in street fights. You must know that

That was not the case for the people who were gathered where the woman died and so many others were injured. He targeted them simply because they were counterprotestors. His was not an act of self-defense. It was a deliberate and horrific act of violence.

There is no moral equivalence between being a Neo-Nazi and an anti-Neo-Nazi.

Similarly, Trump said nothing all day, until forced to give a half-hearted response. Usually he's tweeting like crazy all day when there are major news events.

We all know that if a Muslim did something like this, there would be a billion Trump tweets claiming we need a Muslim ban and other idiocy. But when Trump cultists drive vehicles into crowds, no response (because we know Trump has no issue with terrorism; his issue is with immigrants and minorities).
In the past SPLC and other Leftist groups hired actors to wave Nazy flags etc...at events like this..it would be worth an investigation by LE to see if this happened at this event.

Dividers; now that's a phrase I haven't heard yet but your right it is history and allowing the statue to be part of a museum grounds would be more appropriate.

Peaceful gatherings are weddings, barbecues, music festivals, etc.

This was anything but a peaceful gathering. This event was meant to invoke terror and horrific memories in the hearts of Black people in the town. TORCHES?? REALLY??

They came with no intention of peaceful gathering.

They want to be able to clearly communicate hostility and terror and then say "what? we didn't harm anyone. All we did was stand here peacefully and they started it!" Yeah. That didn't even work in kindergarten, lads.
Antifa and BLM started throwing bricks and attacking the peaceful, and legal protesters....Antifa and BLM did not have a permit.
