    Exactly!

    The White Supremacists were specifically looking for this to happen. They wanted to incite a fight. They picked a college town with a good racial mix because it would be easy to get them riled up. The statue of Lee was just a pretext.

    Charlottesville is an extremely liberal town. If you didnt know better you would think you were in SF or Seattle. That is why this is all happening to begin with. One of the teachers at UVA kicked up a fuss not long ago asking that the university heads stop quoting Jefferson because he owned slaves. He also happened to found the school. Couldn't have picked a better spot to get the left riled up.

    To be honest, I'm surprised that more people haven't died so far considering the amount of automatic and other weapons at their disposal.Also you need to read between the lines.This is a coded message to the establishment and their servant Mueller.

    I know what you mean. If the rest of Europe hadn't gotten involved the Germans could have just marched around, killed all the Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, handicapped, then gone home. How difficult is that? But no, the French, Brits, Americans, Russians, just had to fight back.

    They don't have the numbers.They don't have the means.Let them march,let them exercise their free speech and they will go home.They aren't going to expand their base.

    Defending a statue dressed like this means you have no intention of doing so peacefully.

    Is this the first white supremacist rally in Charlottesville?
    Beyond Saturday's planned rally, Charlottesville has been at the center of multiple white supremacist marches recently.

    Several dozen torch-wielding demonstrators, led by prominent white supremacist Richard Spencer, gathered by the Lee statue on May 13 to protest the vote for its removal.

    In July, Ku Klux Klan members held a rally in Charlottesville in Justice Park, where they were met with more than a thousand upset counter-protesters.

    Statues of Confederate leaders nationwide have been removed in recent years as communities viewed them as symbols of slavery, but a USA TODAY analysis in May found that more than 700 Confederate monuments in 31 states still stand.​

    Did you not see that I started this when someone said all racism is based on hate. All I did is disprove that.

    No matter who you support, are you not outraged by murder at a protest?
    Are you upset that a protest turned ugly? You are gonna wait until all the facts are in before expressing any thoughts, right? What a guy.

    Fighting, while not in anyone's interests, is much different that murder.

    Who are leftists trying to terrorize? and by terrorize I mean overtly threatening their lives in an ongoing fashion and for no discernible reason.

    But he'll almost certainly turn out to be correct.

    Klansman and Nazis hate and despise all of America's founding principles, every single thing that was put in the Constitution by the Founding Fathers. They are against everything that can even be remotely said to be American save our physical location on the planet and considering their abysmal knowledge of every other grade school subject they are probably not very clear on that. Klansmen's tendency to turn on each other is nearly proverbial to Law Enforcement as well.

    I can't, because buffoons like many in this thread wouldn't tell the difference and I would be attacked.

    I know, and to this day, it's the Dems which keep blacks enslaved via welfare. Sad, isn't it ?

    The most nonsensical analogy I've heard ... How ridiculous to suggest WWII alies were a conglomeration of SJW's. Europe was repelling Hitlers invasion, and the holocost was only an afterthought.

    It doesn't excuse murder, but it's certainly true and would probably have avoided the killing. The "protest" was legal. Violence only kicked off when The Usual Suspects (UAF, BLM) turned up and riled up the rally folk, which resulted in a hot head in a car.

    You are just politically correct. You probably believe that the former whites lands in North Africa and the Middle East rightfully belong to the Muslims because they conquered it.

    There is nothing more disgusting than political correctness.

    Read up on history. Those Southern Democrats became modern day Republicans.

    Not many northern democrats supported those views. Different ideologies and wings.
