Also stands for treason.

Don't forget it was the battle flag of traitors.

Yep, I don't like what you say so I'm going to beat you senseless to shut you up. Does that work for you? Is that what kind of society you want to live in?

Again, had the BLM/A.F. people just stayed home......
The right always calls liberals snowflakes, now they're are outraged by counter-protestors fighting back? These people need to get their story straight.

Tell that to the people of Germany who ignored the brown shirts in the 30's

The torches were ceremonial, like a modern day Nazi rally. Have you ever watched Triumph of the Will? How could you not get the reference?

The city allowed it and it was permissible. These protesters could've came decked out in full military gear and anything that was legally permissible to carry. It does not matter. They could've stayed out day and night shouting racist chants and flying their Nazi flags. It wouldn't matter. It was legal. We have free speech in this country.

Why couldn't the far left just let the cops control the situation? Why did they feel the need to give in to the protesters? Are they that weak and emotionally unbalanced?

The Alt Right aren't angels either. I blame them too because they came ready for fight knowing full well that AntiFa would show up. I mean they're not stupid, if you go out and admit you're a Nazi in public, you better expect trouble. But that is besides the point because trouble doesn't negate their legally permissible assembly.

Everyone had a fine laugh.

It was all good.
GREAT POINT!

And THAT is the most that should have happened at this one. Had the "counter protesters" that showed up just done what you describe or stayed home this thread wouldn't even exist, people would still be alive and unhurt.

Calm logic dictates that Trump has not denounced David Duke who was present at the rally and credited Trump.

"We are determined to take our country back,” Duke said from the rally, calling it a “turning point.” “We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back.” ~David Duke

If I am getting this correct, a permit was issued for the park. City rescinded the permit because of violence between the 2 groups and forces people into the streets to continue their fighting.
Horribly handled from the start. You need the keep the groups separated from the start to prevent violence. Basic crowd control 101.
So mob mentality starts on both sides and then you get testosterone flowing and an incredibly horrific end to it due to the maniac in the car.

What a tragic day that groups can't contain themselves and people get hurt and die from this.

So, you have no other argument than "they call people names"?

It all depends if the folks of /pol/4chan will find or not more hidden skeletons about that guy. The MSN had also dropped Moldylocks and Eric Clanton so fast once /pol/4chan showed the hobbies of Moldylocks and Eric Clanton.
