    You were there? I saw (from videos) and heard of no such thing from those who were actually there.

    So we can say that this was a righty terror act then?

    I thought a moment about, if a lefty protestor had done the same and took his car by driving into this scum wearing Klansman clothes and waving Nazi flags... Hell will have brought out here by the righties to have the final proof of lefty violence and terror.
    But now... after reality hit them? Silence and trials of explain it to settle it down up to be a normal accident! Ridiculous and hypocrisy of righties only!

    Do we actually know anything about the suspect yet? I mean, when they're yelling "Allahu Akbar" they pretty much self-identify, but I'm not sure we have any info about him yet.

    If he shouted "Heil Hitler" in his car is not known of course... but I find these ridiculous explaining trials of the righties only lame.

    As told, if this was done by a lefty who drove into a crowd of Klansmen and Nazi flag wavers, no one would be so cautious of the right ... and for sure not if a Muslim drives into a crowd, then it is directly a terror act even as much is known as until now here !
    This is simply hypocrisy!

    The catalyst was, once again, a government encouraged violent political riot.
    Riots can be easily suppressed with minimal violence.

    But was I wrong? They did indeed surround them and then fights broke out.

    The point is your hate don't actually come from the action of a group, but from the concept of the group! Cleary you can accept thousands of violent murders and crime from one group condemn another with no capital crime because of name only..

    Regardless of that, it takes opposing entities to create conflict, if protest/protesters were left to express there displeasure towards the objective, in this case the removal of a statue, then it would run it's course with less if any violence! This protest was incited by a group that was there to protest what the groups, in their minds, stood for and nothing to do with "A Statue"! Their goal was to stop the right to assemble, protest and express their opinion about removing a piece of history..

    Well that how it generally goes down, the anti protesters were there for a specific reason, you know, the one you're trying ignore :) Bottom line, if the protest had been allowed to run its course then there would have been little or no violence! The anti posters were there to create a hostile environment so that law enforcement would break it up.

    That appears to be the case. But this violent political riot comes after decades of government encouraging violent political riots. Riots are easily suppressed with minimal violence.

    And yet the first group of people were the ones who surrounded them.

    You have the logic, but you just cant seem to embrace it! The only advice I can give you is that you pay very close attention to your own descriptive!

    Well I suppose this would be ones interpretation of the meaning of Riot, when did the protest become a riot, what was the catalyst the transformed it from peaceful to violence?

    Really? Seems pretty straightforward, the rally people were on campus, then when they saw the counterprotestors they surrounded them, which would be seen as intimidating from the counterprotestor POV.

    So your logic is, the SECOND arrival the anti protesters showing up in forces was a showing of non-aggression, really? Better yet, you will have me believe the group of protesters already doing their thing, without any provocation ran up to the intruders and began assaulting them.. I hardly believe that, I'm sure they were all holding fruit baskets and buckets of KFC too..

    Try and be a little sensible man :)

    Fact: There have been no serious legal consequences for virtually all violent rioters for decades.
    That is the catalyst for violent political riots - the rioters know they will almost certainly get away with it.

    Ralliers surrounded the anti-protestors strongly suggests intimidation.

    Fun fact: the counterprotestors also had permits of their own.
