I don't think the mother of the woman who died is making a mountain out of a molehill. I think it is a mountain to her, and to a lot of other people, as well.

That guy, whether insane or just hateful, gunned his car down a small street full of people at 40 mph, intentionally ramming into a crowd, killing one and injuring many.

When this has been done by terrorists in London and France, the alt-right crowd and the president make it a very huge mountain and point to it as a reason to ban muslims entirely from our country.
umm--the London and Paris car attacks were perpetrated against innocent bystandards walking on a sidewalk, the VA thing was against a counter protester who was possibly instigating violence. big difference

No, the are up in arms because they are bunch of coddled 20 year olds who can't handle a point of view different from their own, and tolerating another point of view is what America stands for. Just let them have their march and no one would've noticed it.

This.

So in your mind the protestors in Virginia deserved to be hit by car because a small group of individuals were violent?

More insanity, fueling the fire.
Right, just like how you make out all liberal protestors violent because of a small group of individuals who come to make trouble.

For the same reason that they hate that he blamed ALL radical groups--a big no-no for the left.

I mean...for the love of God, one would think by their reaction that Trump invited the White Supremacists to the WH--as Obama did with BLM

And yet, when a racist black supremacist murders 5 police officers, the left makes excuses for them.

When BLM members riot, loot, burn and destroy property, the left makes excuses.

When BLM members beat white people because of their race, the left is silent.

When Antifa thugs attack anyone that attempts to have a peaceful rally that they don't agree with...the left makes excuses.

I suspect mainstream liberals are like mainstream conservatives -- they believe the most violent of these groups not to be representative of them and they aren't.

I don't hold conservatives to blame for the white supremacist groups at all. I also don't hold most liberals to blame for the radicalized ANTIFA or BLM either
