Wtf is happening in Charlottesville?
-
Trump is just speaking the plain truth that the violence was on both sides. The Trump haters are going to pick him apart whatever he says. Trump specifically calls out the neo nazis and KKK as being evil and I don't know what else he can do or say to denounce them.
One thing I think Trump didn't say very well was that there were good people on both sides. I am sure he was meaning those people who are not racists but want the confederate statues to remain for heritage/historical reasons and have nothing to do with the white supremacist groups. He should have made that more clear as there are no good people in the KKK, white supremacist groups or neo nazis.

More unfortunately he was speaking specifically about the Friday night torchlight rally when talking about good people within that march who just want the statues of our heritage to remain. And anyone with a lick of sense that actually fit that bill would have just left when the Nazi chants started. So I think he is dead wrong that there were any good people there interested only in preserving history. I qualify 3 times over to join the Sons of the Confederacy, but I have no doubt this is just a cover for a racist group and not history buffs per se. So I don't join and I don't attend though I love reading Civil War history. No "good people" with a brain would ever find themselves marching in torchlight parades like Friday's and no one with a brain would think there were any good people there either.

Came with a permit... And Shields and clubs and guns
Gotta love the posters in this board. Trump could say the sun rises in the west and sets in the east and they'd say well Obamacare is ruining the middle class. SMH

I'm not going to disagree with you if that is the case. I heard enough of the sickening chants by the torch bearers and you are right no good person would be associated with that. Is that what Trump was speaking about though or was it more general that on the issue of the confederate statues/memorials and their staying or being taken down there are good people on both sides of this issue. I would agree with that.

No Antifa didn't bring clubs, they were club-like pinatas filled with love that pours out when it slams against the human head. Not the same thing.
Can't we just line both sides up and run them all over equally and without prejudice this time. We can get a circus bear to drive the car so there are no winners.

I was a speech major/English minor. or maybe that was English major/Speech minor.

I agree with a lot said in that article. I'm surprised you do as well considering it doesn't paint everything on the Right as correct.

Here's a witness who says the truth- it wasn't just the stupid white supremists and neonazi nutjobs....
it was also antifa and blm. the latter having weapons, including jars of acid, etc.
Trump was absolutely correct to blast both sides.

"Chris Salcedo welcomed an eyewitness on today’s “Chris Salcedo Show.” Lee, who only used his first name because he fears extremist retaliation, says he is not a white supremacist. He joined Unite the Right’s efforts to protect a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee with a group of multi-racial persons who wanted to preserve a historical monument.
He said he and his companions – black, Hispanic, and mixed ethnicity – ultimately felt duped when they realized the event “definitely wasn’t as advertised.” He also said the left leaning protesters there were armed with bottles of acid and balloons filled with paint and urine, as well as other substances he thought might be chemical drain opener."

fyi, there is a student at Nevada and a student at WSU (Rep. Club President there) that have been identified as attending the rally. People have called for the schools to expel them. So far, both released statements that they won't and that it's the student's right to protest and assemble. Just FYI...
Also, does anyone see anything wrong with twitter users identifying people in photos that are white nationalists? Any problem with companies than firing these people?
I don't. Assuming they're just providing a name. I wouldn't want to employee a known Nazi, bad for business.
(and yes, thus goes for any far left violent group as well)

Neither group should be acting violent towards the other.
But I think it is also important to remember one side in this conflict are literally Nazis spouting hate speech. Not the "everyone that disagrees with me is a Nazi" BS we see on this board, but actual white nationalist, "Jews and niggers need cleansed from our white society", Nazis
