There's a difference between movements for equality and movements for superiority.

Do you really think BLM and antifa stuff is of moral equivalence to the alt right? If so, I'm just going to say straight up you're pretty stupid.

I am right there with you. If this is a group that incites violence and it is not being condemned roundly, that is a travesty.
maybe this will clear it up. Sorry you were in the hospital

Well. Ok.

"In Washington, D.C., Antifa spent the morning of Inauguration Day lighting trash cans on fire, throwing rocks and bottles at police officers, setting ablaze a limousine, and tossing chunks of pavement through the windows of several businesses"

That's appalling.

They wanted to march through a university campus at night with torches (seriously torches?) in a peaceful little town while making Nazi salutes, wearing Nazi symbols and shouting ethnic slurs.

It was a total act of aggression and denying that is absurd. If they didn't intend to start trouble, intimidate or act aggressively, they would not have started the weekend of 'their little protest' in that manner. It was intentional.

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.

Did you see the building AntiFA (the new DNC assault team) burned in California, or the bombs they toss regularly into pro-Trump crowds. Just visit tim pool's channel on youtube to see for yourself.

If permits were given to have torches, likely fire regulations had to be followed, and it is probable firemen had to be hired and on hand to light torches under a permit.

Are you seriously saying a legal protest, with permit, can't be conducted in a university campus because the first amendment doesn't apply there?

Regardless real NAZI's are socialist, real AntiFA are DNC, real KKK is DNC. So why are conservatives getting any blame?

The collective at work.
Trying to make one insane individual, the entire group.


More insanity, fueling the fire.
