he condemned them in his 'canned' speech, and then took it all back yesterday.

it was obvious his heart was not in that scripted speech. VERY obvious.

in other words, he lied.

The police faced an ever-changing situation where a good many of the participants were carrying a variety of weapons including guns.

They'd get control of one brawl, then shift to another. No reports of gun battles.

Clearly, they were monitoring the situation from the air. My heart goes out the families of the two police officers who died doing their job.

It looks like the police did the best job humanly possible. and any decent investigation will likely reveal that.

From what I could tell from the videos, they yelled both.

It wasn't just what they chanted. The neo-nazi and white supremacist protesters carried or wore a wide variety of Nazi and White Nationalist symbols, as explained at the link below:

Like this one, it's not too subtle:

or this one. Like Trump said, fine people indeed:

Wouldn't you be proud to see these symbols in the streets of America? Apparently the President has no problem with it.

You don't travel to a march with riot gear if you aren't hoping for violence.

Where did Trump call them "very fine"?

Do you guys ever have any sense of embarrassment for yourselves?

Richard Spenser called the weekend events a huge success, I don't quite see that since part of the plan was to rescue the statue of Robert Lee. By drawing national attention he has accelerated the removal of civil war monuments across the country, people that didn't even know they had monuments are requesting their removal. There is a monument to Lee near Ft Hamilton in Brooklyn where he served and planted a tree, that plaque is now being removed.

Default Trump's Policy of defunding anti-hate groups scrutinized

I guess anti-hate has not been a priority for the Trump white House:

He didn't "take it all back," and you're the one who is "making stuff up." (I'll be polite here and not use the L word.)
