The old Democrat Party is today's Republican Party. Do your research.

Was the church on campus? I am assuming it was or near it. If so, they were doing their little silly chants around the church which was on the site where they were legally permitted to gather.

No- you can assemble. Drop the Nazi flags, confederate flags and all is good. Ya know- hate speech comes at a price...

Protesting doesn't make you an extremist. Using violence every single time you show up to stop a rally that you don't like DOES, and that's why antifa is extremist. There's plenty of evidence of antifa attacking Unite the Right, initiating the violence.

Antifa is pro Communism. Are you pro Communism? Why do you support what they do? Why do you make excuses for what they do? They don't protest peacefully, they disrupt, they destroy, the set things on fire, they injure people, they use violence, they tell the cops to f themselves and die (and then scream for the cops when one of their own gets hurt from their own actions...which I always find hilarious, f-en babies), their entire point of going anywhere is to cause a problem.

Right now we have one person in a car who killed protesters.

That's all we know. We don't know the motive.

So what does the left and media do? Ignore ALL of the violence by antifa, who again, were so violent and disruptive that even BLM was having a problem with them...antifa members pets...that's how they treat black people..like pets that need to be taken care of...so the media ignores all of that, ignores that the police didn't do their job, ignores that 1st Amendment Rights were violated, ignores it all and focuses on the car incident, calls people on the right "Nazis and terrorists" and the bloomin idiots on the left are too stupid to see how wrong that is.

I mean wrong in more than one way, but for the left, it's wrong for even you that a city can violate your 1st Amendment Rights at their whim. WHY THE HELL DOES THE LEFT SUPPORT THAT?

You give government an inch, they will take the rest of it when you aren't looking, and it will affect the stupid lefties, too!

Focus on the real problem here! Stop sucking up for the Communist aholes in antifa and focus on the problem...do you not see what is going on? Do you NOT see it? DO YOU REALLY NOT SEE IT?

Did anyone else catch Fox news commentators and the usually Republican open borders, globalist suspects like Rubio, McCain, Hatch etc put all the blame on the alt-right (and none on the left) and calling them all "supremacist", "racists", "haters" even "evil" and they should be investigated and snuffed out. Is there any wonder why there is anger from the alt-right and why the anger is only going to increase.

Here's another article I don't think they were just "protesting near the church" but it appears that you are going to defend them come hell or high water

These left wingers are hypocrites. They get upset at Nazi flags and Neo-Confederates because of the racial violence in their past but don't get equally upset when Commies and Anarchists are in their midst protesting against the fascists. Communists and Anarchists have a history of violence that is on par with the Nazis. Anti-Fa are mostly Communists and Anarchists.

I can see how the removal of a statue has suddenly become a race based issue. The statue was a proud reminder of immigrants - British? Anyway, there are descendants today who want to continue to honor that significant time in history. I'm of the opinion that history, and its artifacts, should be preserved.

On the other side there seems to be some accusation that this significant historic artifact of that time in history represents nothing other than racism. He achieved nothing in his entire life except racism, and therefore a statue of him is racist, and therefore is must be removed.

Did I miss anything? Is that what is causing this conflict?

So since the left doesn't allow right, alt-right to speak, assemble, rally or protest without crashing it and clashing and Republicans want mass immigration too, the alt-right's free speech rights must be smashed!
