If you shoot a powerful man on the "enemy's side", it's a political assassination. A sort of a surgical strike to cripple them. This is indeed a wrong, and terrible incident, but it's not terror. He's crazy and found a violent solution to his problem, but there is little chance that this guy will target random people with the "wrong" political views and go on a killing spree. The guy with the car, just hates everyone on the "enemy's side", and went berserk, with no thoughts on who he was killing. This guy is sociopathic, genocidal monster and is WAY out of the baseball-guy's league.
At any rate, the violence aside, the reactions of the right side has been appalling. It's not only the nazis that applaud or justify the action of the car-guy, even the president tried to make this sound like an unfortunate outcome of a fight between two equal, opposite factions. If the normal people, and especially high-profile leaders don't condemn the violence of the crazies on their sides, the political side seem like a bunch of inhuman barbarians.
Mother pus bucket!
So you're claiming the buck stops with these counter-protestors, and not with the trump-supporting neo nazis and white supremacists that he tacitly bends over backwards avoid calling out directly?

Are you really expecting some sort of appreciable action out of trump?
Adorable.
“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
What fucking Neo-Nazis? This was an Anti-Marxism rally. In California. You're justifying political violence in one of the most multicultural areas of the United States by pointing to white supremacists on the other side of the country. Not to mention Trump did call them out directly.
... you want this violence to escalate further? What is wrong with you?
"Say no to Marxism in America"!??? Last time i checked there isn't even 1 left political person in office in America, all governors are politically on the right side of things, let alone Marxists. Do these people also demonstrate against, idk, "No unicorns in America"??
On topic, yea it seems rather odd to have a demonstration "against hate" while they clearly hate someone or something, i do not think they know themselves on what that someone or something is. But i guess that is what you get when politics are mostly done with meme's and tweets these days. Things would turn out so much better if people actually discussed the topic at hand instead of pointing fingers while foaming at the mouth. I don't care what politics you prescribe to, all of them do this. People should learn to listen and understand what the other side is on about, often they do have a valid point, even if it comes out of their mouths horribly wrong, again this goes for all sides.
Thugs, throw them in jail asap.
But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.

Per the organizer of the rally it seems to have been focused on Marxists in academia.
Stupid fucking arguement is stupid. Freedom of speech does NOT mean that all speech is inherently equal, or that all ideas are worthy of consideration. Attempting to play that card is a ridiculous exercise in Moral relativism.
Are you entitled to the freedom to say whatever you want? Certainly. That does not, however, protect you from the consequences of saying something that the majority of sane people find abhorrent.
Not all ideas are equal. Not all trains of thought are worthy of consideration, and not all speech should be free. But go ahead, keep trying to argue that, from a purely "free speech" standpoint, "I like to eat icecream" and "I like to murder live puppies" are inherently worthy of equal consideration.
Having said that, it is up to society as a whole, to decide what constitutes speech that is grossly against common moral and ethical decency (and I hate to point this out, but anyone leaning towards the "nazis have the right idea" train of thought isn't likely to fall on the right side of that dividing line.)
