Car ploughs through protesters at Charlottesville Alt-Right rally

[PACOX]

But why won't you accept the meh Nazis

<Nazi runs over a bunch of people>

But if they weren't counter protesting they wouldn't have been run over

I hope this is an end to people tolerating far-right bullshit.

Education in the states sure is falling to third world country levels when people have to be taught that promoting Nazism is peaceful protesting. Not to mention carrying firearms to a protest is supposedly a symbolism of peaceful protesting.

Did they also teach you guys that ice is hot in these schools?

These are the same people that hate education because they think it has a liberal bias. So, I don't think education will fix that level of willful ignorance.

[Somewhatconcerned]

Nazi flags on American soil and people are doing mental gymnastics to defend it.


"But Antifa!" has now replaced "But her emails!"

[Travis B]

It's a sad day when a person can't wave a Nazi flag, chant Nazi slogans, and sport a Hitler haircut without getting called a Nazi.

[Moshots]

Peaceful nazis? So they want the Jews to just voluntarily line up for the concentration camps?

and we go back to this... Freedom of Speech means 0 and your one of those can't face it that other people chose to have opinions opposite yours..... Not being able to put aside what they stand for and answer a simple question is nothing more than being a Narrow Minded Fool.... Much like how every Conservative speaker these days is getting Firebombed off campus when they try to speak because the Left believes that everyone needs to follow a Communist Hivemind and that no Contrasting opinions shall ever be allowed.....

who shall we criticize next???

the Christians for Believing in an all Mighty god??? oh he can't exist your literally wasting your life for believing that bullcrap

or the Muslims for believing in a prophet who married a 6yo girl in the Koran.... Think we have a word for that these days?

Or how bout the Scientologists for believing there is a little green alien in our head that will one day port you to another planet If you pay them enough money.

We can keep going on.....

People can believe whatever the hell they want.... They were breaking no laws by having a legal protest with a permit regardless of whether or not you agree with them... Which again ill state i'm not here to defend nazi's and I don't agree with them just like I won't defend Muslims believing in Sharai's Law or Scientologists or The WestBuro Baptist Church.... But I digress..

My point is still and always will be Did the Police do their job in dispersing a illegal counter protest or did they allow it due to a order from the top that was politically motivated and did this endanger the lives of protesters of both the legal and Illlegal Protests that were being held that day. These are questions that need to be answered. Because regardless of who did what and who is to blame Protestors should not be allowed to block a city road for their own safety and this time it ended up with what we saw.

You mean like the groups who released statements this morning condemning this act of violence and saying that the person was not a member of them and was not representative of the peaceful demonstration that they had planned?.

Hopefully the irony of such a statement coming from the alt-right isn't lost on them! By the way, showing up with weapons and assault gear ain't exactly typical of peaceful protesters nor a good sign of what's coming. People like them always look for a fight and leave behind destroyed property and injured people, so peaceful their demonstration was. Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade: they are violent extremists, regardless of whether they routinely commit acts of terrorism or not.

P.s: It's always cool when people that advocate and dream of a dictatorial regime hide behind "freedom of speech", as if they would have any if their wish came true.

You mean like the counter protesters standing outside with baseball bats attempting to assault the Alt right people as they left the march?

So who instigated the violence? cause all i see is a bunch of Antifa Basement dwellers with baseball bats and headgear.

[Wyrt]

We should just skip past all this whataboutism and go straight to "NO U!"

I mean both parties. I am not defending anyone here, as I believe all extremists are little dipshits. I don't really care WHO started beating people up, all I care about is that these kind of demonstration should be held as far away from civilized people as possible. I would confine them in a remote field and let them beat the living shit out of each others, as long as innocent, non-violent and civil people don't have to suffer their idiocy

[Aurrora]

People actually believe that Antifa are as bad as Nazis? One group opposes fascism, and the other wants to create the Fourth Reich in the United States and butcher anyone who doesn't look or believe like they do.

False equivalencies ftw!

As bad as WWII Nazis? No.

But they're definitely the other side of the coin to Neo-Nazis

The road to Charlottesville:

June 2nd 2016, Protesters beat Trump supporters in San Jose

June 26th 2016, Antifa attack KKK rally in Sacramento

February 1st 2017, Antifa riot in Berkeley to prevent Milo Yiannopoulos event

April 15th 2017, Antifa and Pro-Trump demonstrators fight in the streets of Berkeley

During which an Antifa member takes it upon himself to club one of the free speech demonstrators in the head with a bike lock.

A fatality was going to happen sooner or later caused by either side, just look at the pictures of the people involved and you see them coming increasingly prepared for battle.


Funnily enough with a heavy police presence nothing happened during a Berkeley demonstration on April 27th

http://www.berkeleyside.com/2017/04/...lice-presence/

Of course it was only then that Berkeley students felt "unsafe"

And here you go the start of the violence in Charlottesville

THIS POST - Antifa are thugs, they hide behind their masks and do exactly what they claim to be against. People need to wake up.

Both extremists are bad. Who would have know?!

[Blur4stuff]

The political difference is that leading Dems aren't endorsing and encouraging Antifa. Trump started and spent his campaign reaching a hand out to the different white power groups. At times he was blatant and used dog whistles in between.

Republican leaders know this. It's why they are tripping over themselves to put distance between them and Trump.

[Moshots]

This man says it right.

Charlottesville was Racists beating up racists.. Both sides are to blame and Both sides are equally responsible.

"Both sides are equally responsible."

Except ya know, only one side racked up a body count. Only on side had a nutjob commit an act of domestic terror.

But they're totally both equally responsible.

[Strangebrew]

Were you trying to actually say something here, or just doubling down on your post laughing at murder?

Oh i am sorry, years of being called a nazi and in the same breath being told nazi's deserve to have their life beat out of them, for being a GG supporter, classic liberal and against progressives have left my sympathy at zero.
No i am not ok with people ran over, nor do i find it funny. But give me one reason why i should give a shit, both sides have contributed to this violence.

When is it your turn to be beat up edge? You're after all an or was an GG supporter.

I mean, who would have thought villifying an entire gender and skin color for years would lead to them forming extremist groups, it's like fucking magic or some shit.

Except the fact that antifa and BLM weren't invited and were there illegally protesting in the middle of the street.. Beating up people with baseball bats.. but they share no blame for inciting a riot.


But oh now you want to blame a whole group for 1 guy? shall we go back to 5 pages ago where your claiming that BLM can't be blamed for Dallas or Baltimore? because it was one person not the group but now you want to put off all the blame on one person and blame the group. LOL.

I still don't understand where this even happens outside of select crazies on the internet. Imaginary enemies to fuel your victim complex I guess.

You sure love to throwing "victim complex" around.
Same can be said for you, just one person died, quit your victim complex.
