Where The Hell Were The Authorities in Charlottesville!

About the occurrences in Charlottesville, Virginia over the past two days people are focusing on President Trump's connection to this matter but what the American people should be focusing on is what an unbelievable failure by authorities in that community, specifically the Mayor, Police Commissioner and Governor of the State of Virginia they should all apologize for their failure to do their duty in the strongest possible terms. This writer is from the Philadelphia region and there is not one trillionth of a chance that Philadelphia authorities would have allowed what took place in Charlottesville to happen in Philadelphia. In Charlottesville many protesters had shields and clubs once police saw that they should have called off the protests, the protests were in fist fights they were throwing things and this happened for a long time as soon as this violent behavior began police should have been arresting and carting such actors away. The white supremacist and the anti-white supremacist should have been required to have permits to protests and their protest route and area should have been clearly delineated and separated so that each group had no chance to engage in physical confrontation with the other. National associations for police commissioners, Mayors and Governors should emphatically call out these Charlottesville authorities for their failure to do their job. One could speculate that maybe these officials wanted civil unrest in this community to spotlight the wrongfullness of white supremacy in America and some of the actions of President Trump who in his behavior does a lot of unorthodox things that members of this group like, let me be clear I am not saying President Trump is a supporter of White Supremacy in fact I believe he is fully opposed to White supremacy values. What is appropriate to say though is that it would be disgraceful and shameful beyond words if Virginian officials allowed this cauldron of violence to brew for political reasons this cauldron that ultimately led to the death of one person and serious bodily injury to many others!



President Trump's response to this Charlottesville event has received some criticism; I think the problem that President Trump has which leads to his muddled response to events like these is that he doesn't distinguish hate. These white supremacist with their white superiority values are embracing hate that is indefensible morally, ethically and legally. People that hate President Trump hate him because of his character, track record and his policies and that is moral, ethical and legal with at least one caveat members of Congress who have made a commitment to deny President Trump any significant legislative achievement are egregiously violating their duty to their constituents the duty being to significantly improve their constituents' interests if they're able and it is good to do so especially especially in these really really difficult times for people. This error by President Trump comes from one of his many character flaws which makes him unfit tp be President the one being his inability to fully and fairly self-criticize himself so he avoids making the same mistake again and can make prudent course corrections. If President Trump utilized this trait he would understand and accept and not be so put off by the fact that a lot of Americans hate him and will for the entire balance of his Presidency, being responsible means accepting responsibility for your actions President Trump!

 

I was there. The protesters defended themselves against violence antifa actors. Before you ask, I was there to counterprotest the ignorant racists, as they do not help. Every act of violence I saw was perpitrated by antifa. Throwing bottles of urine, etc.

 

People have the right to protest and protest the protest but the police need to be prepared otherwise it turns to anarchy and a riot.

 

maybe he wanted the far right guys to get hurt beatup by the anarchist and BLM?

 

cops only went after Spencer you see with force! ,wonder why chiefs orders maybe who gave the orders video time 6:00

 

The leftists say: fake news. you were not there.

 

Damn dude. Did you happen to see the car ****?

 

Where were the police at Berkeley? Same story different town. It's all bullshit.

 

QFT

 

Antifa is such a fun new buzzword isn't it.

 

No. Was out of area by then.

 

Less than able minds have to somehow counter those whose only mission in life is to show just after fascism shows up, which is antifa's one issue agenda.

Helpful to the end, though, antifa bring fragrant pee to shower the proud boys so their inherent dead carcass stench is masked for uninvolved onlookers.

 

Are you suggesting said groups dont exist? Welcome back btw wonder who had to leave though...

 

I think that the focus on authorities to control situations is just wrong. The focus should be on how we should comport ourselves in a manner that is conducive to civil discourse.

 

Oh Yeah...........that's going to work..................been waiting 10,000 years for that to happen. That's why we have governments.

To control the population

 

I am not saying President Trump is a supporter of White Supremacy in fact I believe he is fully opposed to White supremacy values

I'll believe that when he kicks Gorka,Miller, and Bannon out of the White House

 

Certainly is need for governance, but the idea that government is society is incorrect. We, all of us make up society and it is we that determine our actions towards each other. When we do so constructively, there is no need for the police to intervene.

 

Trump represents all the people in the nation and therefore should address hate as a whole, not be singling out groups as if they are the only ones doing it.

All that will do is encourage a response from the other side and hence more hate.

This is what Obama did and all it did was create a bigger division, Trump is trying to unite us by saying we are all in this together.

 

Two of the authorities were dying in a helicopter crash so I assume there were others there as well.
