And Trump is absolutely defending them. He tried to lay shared-blame on the counter-protesters for peacefully gathering to reject the KKK message of hate. Everyone had a right to be there to spew their message, but only one group came armed to the hilt, and was the aggressor, and unfortunately Trump chose to defend them, and call them fine people.
What a ridiculous lie. The Leftist groups weren't legally allowed to be there. They had no permit. They also came with weapons just to cause trouble and they did. BOTH sides are scumbags. Glad to see you support illegal protesting and violence.

Peaceful demonstrators(counter protesters) had permits for 2 parks (McGuffey and Liberty) which were 1-2 blocks away from the other rally. All 3 parks were in the downtown area and required people to park their cars and walk to the parks.

The people walking down the street that were mowed down by the alt-right killer - they were peacefully walking to the 2 parks where they had valid permits to demonstrate. They were legally allowed to be there.

Charlottesville Grants 2 Permits for Counterprotests of Unite th - NBC29 WVIR Charlottesville, VA News, Sports and Weather

Here is what the counter protesters posted to their rally attendees at the 2 parks that had permits

"We acknowledge there will be a significant number of people in the downtown area and urge all parties to engage in non-violent, civil protest and to be prepared if engaging in direct action. We ask that people coming downtown bring extra food and water to share and to bring ponchos for rain rather than umbrellas.
Our goal is to lawfully and peacefully assemble for racial justice and equity."

Just look at the responses. You people can't even call out the vile filth. Instead you spin it, deflect, make excuses. And you have the gall to whine & cry when people accurately call you out as racist? You have no ground to stand on. Zero. You're racist & you know it. End of story.

It's not giving them a platform to spread their hate. It's giving them a platform to show their ugly face as a living lesson to the thinking people who mistakenly conclude that we as a country are "post-racial". We are not, not by a huge mile because these scumbags still exist.

Many on the right wing.


In fact it was UNITE THE RIGHT that gave the KKK a platform. They were invited to join them in Charlottesville.


When the fringe lunatics go back into the shadows - we will again ignore them.

Most republicans are. they just don't think they are. But they are. They are less evolved intellectually and that's why they can't even see themselves for who they really are.

How convenient of you to assume people who aren't shocked by the stupidity of some equates to agreement with them. It fits your narrative.

I know a lot of Republicans and only one is racist. He's a moron. Everyone has cut him out of the loop.

As a Democrat, I can tell you that these blanket generalizations aren't helping the party. It's ignorant.

Agreed. I doubt the news would let the part about not having permits be a non issue. They'd be on it. This coming from someone who doesn't care about permits and is a lot more concerned about peaceful demonstrations. Not that you're saying you don't care about peaceful demonstrations.

People from Charlottesville should have come out, stood together, and beaten anyone that was destroying property. You have to defend your town. You have to defend property rights.
