No Place For The Kkk In America


Recommended Posts


The point I was making is they had a permit to rally

It was a legal rally or what ever you want to call it

The anti fa were trying to stop people attending a legal permitted rally

I'm still not clear on what happened with the driving the car into people

I have heard anti fa were attacking the car with bricks etc

Both sides here are morons

I've no dog in this fight

 

Agreed and thanks for clarifying.

 

They did have a permit. So did the left for their counter-demonstration. They (the right) were bussing in people from the surrounding states and the driver of the car drove 8 hours from Ohio, before the extra few feet that killed the girl and injured the others. He's currently charged with 2nd-degree murder. Obviously, this will play out over many weeks while we find out what happened. Yes, the left were bussing them in too.

 

The fact that's being overlooked here is that they were protesting a decision (to remove the statue) that had been democratically voted on by the people of Charlottesville.

 

Trump highlighted the violence on both sides. I actually agree with him on this one. Protestors using violence to suppress the first amendment. The problem was his timing, his tact, and his terminology. If you want to instantly condemn terrorism you have to be consistent.

Yes agreed

I'm not flip flopping here

I still believe the right have every right to legally demonstrate

Fwiw I think trump was absolutely right to condemn the violence on both sides

They're both socialist half wits

 

Trump's given the most extreme and revolutionary speech I can think of in recent history,he actually condemned far left domestic terrorists.

 

That shouldn't be extreme,but just look at the reaction it's received and have a look for any precedent in the west in recent years.

I don't think it's sunk in to a lot of peoples heads yet just how much of a big deal that is.

Was it the people who voted or just the local councillors or whatever the American equivalent is

 

The people presented their case to Charlottesville, through years of petitioning and lobbying. The city then ruled 3-2 that the statue should be removed. Southern towns have higher accountability from public officials.
