    My first inclination was to condemn the Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members and other white supremacists,.. but mctiger you and Michael Douglas are right,.. the evil fuckers have a constitutional right to peaceably assemble,.. though, why police allowed a heavily armed supremacist militia to lead the march I don't understand.

    Counter demonstrators had no right to interfere, the police should have kept the groups separate. Virginia Governor McAuliffe, chastised the supremacists and militia groups, “You came here today to hurt people and you did hurt people,”,.. but clearly demonstrators and counter demonstrators were both spoiling for a fight,.. again, very shitty police crowd control let this happen.

    Trump appeared weak in response

    I personally think ONLY pointing out the Nazi group gives, as the left says, credence, to ANTIFA.

    We dont have a Nazi problem. We have a division problem. Both ANTIFA and Nazi's were bussed in. The media donest care about that though.

    The flyers ANTIFA made for this event incite just as much violence as the Nazi group did.

    People SHOULD condem both at the same time.

    Isn't VA a right-to-open-carry state?

    There's that double standard thing again. I personally think the supremacists were hoping for a confrontation, and Antifa willingly provided it. Both deserve condemnation for the way it went down, but only one side gets blamed.

    What a long tortured path you took to come to the conclusion I did yesterday, however you did. Wish you didnt trash Trump at the end though he doesn't deserve it.
