The WNs or the Antfas? I saw videos depicting both sides with armaments and fighting each other. Also, why did the authorities grant the WNs a permit in the first place ? Didn't they even suspect there would be problems? What about the Governor Terry McCauliffe? Why did his police force cow tow to WNs? (stand down) In his speech he denigrated WNs but his actions show the opposite....And I KNOW he's a Democrat lefty.
I agree....and I would add the Governor. Thanks for the reminder, I don't do too many polls....took me a while but it's up now.
Now, since it HAD to be apparent to anyone involved outside of the WN folks organizing the rally(although, you can bet they were itching for a fight.... Like the counter protesters) with a pulse, that this would likely turn violent due to whomever's actions, more resources, including the NG should have been deployed, & instead of letting things continue to escalate once skirmishes broke out, it should have been immediately shut down
Yeah McAuliffe reminds me of Nero presiding over a burning Rome and then making soaring proclamations about his questionable morality.
Anyone on either side that resorted to violence. The idiots had a right to have their protest. Those counter protesting had the same right. The fact is that the counter protesters have done more to HELP spread the idiots ideology then their march ever would have. Every post on FB, every news article written gives them legitimacy. Frankly folks you are all helping the Altright agenda.
Yes however, it seems to me that the City, County and State were ill prepared for what they knew could happen. They did not have the resources to stop infiltration into the park from more than one place. The governor could have called for more help before the first protestors arrived. And BTW, what government fool thought that Emancipation Park was a good place to let white supremacists have their rally? I don't think that white supremacist ideology is going to spread very far because 99.9% of Americans reject it.
All three obviously or they wouldn't be under consideration. People just like to cast blame on groups they don't like or away from groups they do like.
Oh yeah, let's invite martial law. Get those guard in here now, lock and load. Bring in the tanks, the rocket launchers, the artillery and drones. But first, let's get those fake media guys to build a whole background piece. Let's involve little Johnny or little Cindy that will suffer such horrible fates. Let's instill pure fear so when those tanks arrive to lock us in our homes, for our safety of course, the people will cheer. And with our government jailers, we will know there is nothing to fear. Nothing like a little issue with some college kids a while back that was controlled by some of those guard folk. Real live target practice but what is the chance of that happening again in today's society. Wonder if the guard and police would have body count contest like the Army like to do in war. And aren't today's police agencies now just army reserve units? Now with all those alternate media guys, like Alex Jones ranting till head turns purple and explodes, screaming we told you so and the revolution is on, long live the revolution. Old folks, right this way to the smokey showers. For all you dead beats that the elite do not find amusing, line up the showers will be available shortly. For you that remain, free speech and freedom of assembly are hereby abolished. Now all you rural people and many others will need to interred, did I say interred, I meant accommodated closer to the food source due to the shortages. I'm excited, we are so close.
No thanks expected or needed. Sorry I didn't write that in a manner you would understand but not so sorry I will rewrite.
I wouldn't bother. Apparently you've forgotten I have little time for discussions with you, or plodding through your inane word salads.
I've forgotten nothing, I just don't care. But I'll take you off the subscription list and trust you won't be attempting to partake in the fruits of my labor when you said you wouldn't. But it was no bother, I wasn't going to do anything.
According to the police chief, the White supremacists/storm troopers violated their agreement with the police department by going in through the wrong entrance to the event. So the blame rests solely upon the shoulders of the alt-right this time.
We obsess way to much with blame. A better question is what are we going to do to fix the problem? Blame is safer, it allows us to deflect responsibility. We are all to blame. We all play a roll. We all could do more.
All of them came itching for a fight. I do think that we need a new law that weapons should not be allowed to be carried by anyone in a protest.
I believe the police were to blame. The rally folk had a permit. The police pulled their cover at the last minute, at which point the lefty fascists started attacking. Beyond actually simply being there, I don't know how you can blame the "white unite" group.
What I'm finding fascinating is attacking the messengers but ignoring the messages. Which side had the message you respect
