YMMV
one thing to take from this video besides the car. Is the number of peaceful anti protestors carrying sticks and bats... Lots.

People are different--I'd have shot him...several times.

Oh really? Cross burnings are 'illegal', uttering threats 'illegal'.

Try your civics again.

We don't have to put up with EITHER side if the root is 'hate'.

Arm both sides and let them kill one another- I could give a tiddlywink.

Yes the city screwed up... Or did they? Plans, plans, plans....
Wait, what? What are you talking about? You sound deranged. What Saul Alinski tactics? What am I propagating?

I think all parties, Alt-Right, the far left, the city are to blame. Why should it only be one group?

I think it's irrational to think that if you don't just blame the Nazis then you're a sympathizer. That is some next level Orwellian, Maoist thinking right there.

Yes, burning a cross on someone's lawn is illegal. Uttering threats to someone personally is illegal. Shouting fire in a crowded building is illegal.

What is your point? These Nazis had a permit and had their "safe space" to shout all the racist crap they wanted. That is free speech. You capitalizing your letters when you feel outraged doesn't change that. I don't give a hundred tiddlywinks what you think, you need a lesson in civics because you cannot reason this out correctly.

YMMV
A car drove thru a crowd of people & you wonder why they attacked the car? Really?

The problem is they delayed the removal of Lee's statue for so long that it has now become a lighting rod for outside groups from both sides. They should have moved quickly, I understand Kentucky is now speeding up the exit of these civil war era monuments.


A good percentage of the residents in that area have relatives that were slaves so the removal is quite understandable.
Did that one receive national coverage like this rally did? I don't remember maybe it did.

I guess that's the difference between you and me - my initial reaction would be this was a horrific accident and perhaps the driver had a heart attack or something.

Sorry that your initial thought is violence.
