    Prolly a good reason to allow all protesters their constitutional rights and have law enforcement stop instigation.

    Ok, fair enough, first I've heard you refer to a specific time of day. My video shows the left following and starting violence against the original protesters when the city announced for them all to leave, that the rally was cancelled.

    When a mob gets violent, the police need to use lethal force, after trying less drastic moves and the laws need to modify to justify lethal force but you have violence blood and killed protestors in enough numbers should keep protest groups in line to peaceful demonstrations which are fine.

    The permits are irrelevant, the reason they were there is!

    No it's relevant! Even more so if the harassment began earlier in the day and lasted until evening! It actually demonstrates restraint to a certain degree and credence to who instigated what..

    Well done.

    Originally to counterprotest and show their disapproval of white supremacists. The day after the 11th, it admittedly started out okay and then exploded into bigger fights, confrontations, arrests, people shouting kill the Nazis, etc.

    Turns out the car attacker was a fringe attendee, an affirmed white supremacist.

    Even less reason to be sympathetic towards him.

    I don't know, most of the high school fights I've witnessed were because one person was talking to someone else's girl and feelings get involved.

    It's what we'd all pretty much assumed. What he did and the objective and demographics of the meeting have commonality, but they absolutely can't be likened one to the other. This was a meeting I'd have happily attended in principle, and I go into mourning if I accidentally kill a fly.

    I just spoke with someone that attended the rally to protest the removal of Lee's statue. He is not a white supremacist or a nazi. He is a conservative. He told me first that everything we are hearing from the media is a lie. He stated that when he arrived with several others, they were all obeying the law, did not bring any unlawful items. As they arrived, cops had the area barricaded so that there was only one way in and one way out. They entered through the entrance and were immediately all pepper sprayed in the face by the counter protesters. The police just sat there and watched but did nothing. A large woman then came towards them (all men) swinging and hitting them in the face. As they tried to hold her down to make her stop, the press started yelling at them to leave the "woman" alone. He said the counter protesters then were throwing balloons filled with urine and feces and some even were using some sort of chemicals. One protester had hydrochloric acid thrown in his face by counter protesters and is now most likely blind. He then told me that when the police then called for them all to leave immediately, the counter protesters all tried to block their one way out and the police did nothing. When a man asked the police for a way to leave, the police pulled out a fire extinguisher size pepper spray and sprayed him so hard it knocked him down the stairs. The protesters had no choice but to cross the violent mob of counter protesters who were allowed to bring in all the "unlawful" items that rally protesters were to be arrested over. Again, police did nothing.

    He stated that the even was attended by many conservatives whose only purpose was to protect the Lee statue. They had no association with the small group of self proclaimed nazi types. As he entered, he then feared for his life when he saw how the police were not going to keep things lawful and how violent the other side was with just them entering the grounds. He asked me to please help get the truth out, and that's why I'm sharing.

    The man who was blinded is some sort of radio talk person. The person I was speaking with did not know him personally but knew his stage name of baked alaska, so I googled what he told me and did find some small articles, but the media hasn't said anything.

    It's amazing that so many people want to institute a repressive police state in America, which will deprive everyone except the goons and their bosses human and civil rights. Under thetheir propsed police state America will become more repressive than the top ten most repressive police states in history combined.

    It's just a ploy by our foreign enemies to weaken and destroy the average American's loyalty to the country.

    Instead government leaders order the police to stand down, but I am sure their intentions were good. How could they possibly have known what would happen? Right?

    Well I would assume when you begin to fear for your life and having to look over your shoulder, you're a little pre occuppied. Some did take video, I'm sure of that. The person I was speaking with just got back in town today and was exhausted. His words were that he was still in shock about what he saw take place. I didn't even think to ask him if he took any video of his own. I'm going to bet some videos will be coming out, although the media will be ignoring much of it.

    This kind of violence is now common. The video is probably all over youtube. I will check.

    Why should I be afraid I don't cause trouble and if the police told me to do something like stop protesting and go home I'd do it, its simple peaceful protesting is fine and any violence is not and you refuse to obey the police and attack them and anything that is lethal force then you should be able to respond with lethal force if needed to make a point after tear gas and other means.

    According to victim Heather Heyer's mother, her daughter died of a heart attack - disclaimer: apparently this is considered a "right-wing conspiracy theory", irrespective of the fact that she is on video record stating such.

    Whatever. You judge the facts:





    She had a heart condition, and one assumes Mrs Heyer was in close contact with the medics at the scene.

    I'm not even going to bother offering any other caveats about the driver's culpability since it won't make a lick of difference to the resident Antifa fans.
