Even the ACLU AND New York Time are reporting that the Police either stood by and did nothing or forced the two groups into confrontation. Looks like Leftists wanted a "race" battle.

The same thing happened at Berkeley.
Doesn't that happen in all riots. The police stand down because it is believed if they get involved it will escalate things. Not my theory, not what I support but it seems to me we have heard this story before.

So this march/demonstration was planned for a bit. We don't have the National Guard resources to intervene and stand between the two groups.

It was mismanaged of course....

Yes the lead story is the car that gunned down and killed a protester. Come on -- it is the lead story....it should be the focus.
Is the media still blaming the helicopter crash and the death of 2 officers on violent white supremacists? I would really like to know how "White power" took down an aircraft..

can you actually support our claim with a story about how BLM did anything ?

as for anti facist, there is no group called Antifa. By capitalizing the "A", you are trying to create a false narrative, and in doing so, claiming all protesters exist under one banner.

Who was killed by the BLM or Antifa crowd?


And last time I checked, it was an out of state white supremacist who murdered a local resident who was understandably outraged that racists from around the country descended on her beautiful city.

You want a story or the truth? Liberals don't want the truth. The biased MSM refuses to report the truth, only their leftist agenda. The only links you want to see come from liberal hack sites like Huff Post or MSNBC
