The police were not prepared for this, even so the police chief already indicated that the marchers deviated from the route. It appears from their actions on Friday night and Saturday that this is what they wanted.
The police were not prepared ? There was over 1,000 people from the Charlottesville Police, Virginia State Police even the Virginia National Guard? This is just typical liberal college town policy , they don't want a lawsuit mishandling some poor antifa . The whole melee was caused by incompetence
Please try to refrain from loading up on a diatribe, deflection and rationalization.
I have a very simple question:
Do you support the violence of the anti-supremacists?
Now, keep in mind they showed up from as far away as Berkeley and NYC armed with weapons and tactical gear, so hundreds of them came intent on fighting.
I'm more of a pacifist Libertarian, so I don't support intentional violence of any sort.
So, do you?
All political violence, unless it's retaliation, is wrong.
The Left never condemns any part of its base. They makes excuses for muslims terrorist, BLM, common criminals, even the leftist shooter at Republican legislators. But they demand the right condemn everyone. Zero honesty and integrity from the left.
Plenty of "leftists" (a stupid term, by the way) have condemned all of those groups at one point or another.
I find this entire situation so infuriating, confusing, and embarrassing. Once again, I get what Trump is saying but his delivery is all out of whack. We basically had two radical groups have a riot. Both preaching their own brand of hatred. The fact that one had a permit and one didn't does not mean anything to me. I can not believe that I am living in a world where people are flying Nazi flags, identifying as white supremacists and support the KKK. It's despicable. I have spent my entire life knowing that Nazis are bad, the KKK is bad, white supremacy is bad, racism and prejudice is bad towards anyone and from anyone. These were just accepted facts by me and everyone else I know. Talking about it with a friend of mine today when I asked him how is this possible he said, "well, there are crazy people out there."
I am not naive I know these people exist but, I always thought they were regulated to the shadows. I understand why Trump did not call them out by name Saturday. Why name them and give them the attention that they seek. Millions of people died at the hands of Nazis victims of the Holocaust and the soldiers fighting to free Europe. They were stamped out 60 years ago and better stay that way. Trump names these groups and you get the KKK leader thanking him directly on twitter. That type of empowering these backwater savages only empowers them.
The media baited Trump and he fell for it and why he tried to see the good in both sides by saying there are good people on both sides is beyond me. The only thing I can think of is that maybe he felt there were people there supporting the protests on both sides that weren't affiliated with any organization? But if he did feel that way he sure didn't explain it properly it gets lost in translation and he looks terrible. People will play that sound bite forever. This could be the blow that proves fatal to Trump and it's by his own doing....AGAIN! You can only walk in between the rain drops for so long before you get wet and Trump got caught in a downpour today. Plus, it comes on a day where it appears Trump could have been taking a victory lap for his tough stance on North Korea we get this mess and that crisis and apparent success is put to the back burner. General Kelly must be livid.
I am disappointed and dumbfounded by the president and disgusted by the alt left and alt right groups or whatever they call themselves. These groups have no place in the United States of America.
They got a permit.. it was lawful to march.. get it... we are America..
What about black supremacy.. do you think it is bad.?. it is Al Sharpton , Jessie Jackson that preach about blackness ... black pride, black is beautiful.. all about black people.. never about all people..
How about White pride, white is beautiful.. no, that is negative but blacks can be supremacists.
