    And quite possibly, one of the iconic photos of the 21st century, at least as far as the USA is concerned:

    [​IMG]


    As a result of the high speed at which the nazi-murderer was driving (and yes, he's a nazi), we see, in this photo, behind the car from Ohio, 2 male bodies flying through the air, both in positions where we all instinctively know (based on "what goes up, must come down") that the moment of impact is going to be very, very painful. A woman with long legs is hitting the ground behind the black Tundra. 4 shoes without feet in them are on the road. On the left, mostly obscured, we see a person trying to get up again. Between the roof and the hood of the car, we see another body flying through the air and the contorted position of one leg means, I bet, that it's already broken. Dust is all over the place. Just a totally surreal scene, kind of like the "time-stops-still-and-then-moves-very-slowly" scenes from MATRIX.

    Only, this is real.

    This should never have happened to anyone. This is pure evil, on the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia, yesterday. BTW, had the roles been reversed and it had been an antifa-member plowing down a horde of nazis, regardless how low-life and distasteful they are, that too would have been murder and every bit as wrong. So, don't even try to go there with the relativism, it won't work here.

    I wish all the injured a speedy recovery and my heartfelt prayers to the family of the deceased.

    It should never happen but it does in every single nation.

    Rwanda should never have happened either but it did.

    Do you actually think you can end all hate?

    This thread is not about me, ergo, your question is not only inappropriate, it also makes no sense. Better luck to you next time actually sticking to the topic at hand.

    Certainly not by acting as if it were normal and acceptable, the way you do.

    You made the claim in your OP and that's why I addressed it to you.

    If you don't want people to respond to you then don't type comments.

    No, it would be acceptable to condemn it, which Trump did.

    Icon of what? It is a single incident so it cannot be representative of anything...

    Well, all photos are just a capture of a single moment in time - yet the guy standing in front of a tank became an Iconic moment. The Vietnamese girl running down the street became an Iconic moment.

    There are images that stick in your mind. This will be one of those images. The stop signs, the shoes scattered in the street. A black man and a white man thrown through the air, together. A cell phone at the left capturing the moment. Iconic.

    No, it won't be any kind of iconic photo or graphic other than in the distant future when students are studying the inevitable end effects of paid protesting by evildoers like Soros and the DNC. Frankly, it's not a particularly compelling photo. ROFLMAO at the inane comparison to truly iconic pictures of the past in the above post.

    The only point of interest in the whole story is how monstrously differently LW v RW violence is covered by the corrupt MSM.

    Sorry but I don't see anything iconic about it.

    There are millions of photos of violent moments, none of them are iconic either.

    Its usually the non-violent pictures that become iconic.

    Now if there was a photo of this car before the violence where we could see the mans hate while he opened the car door as he was about to do what he did that would be more iconic.

    The only thing this tells me is that the protesters for some reason don't know how to lace up their shoes.

    No. That is a lie.

    I wrote: "This should never have happened to anyone. This is pure evil, on the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia, yesterday."

    I wrote nothing at all about myself. You will discover that trolling here in PF is not easy to do.

    His post was completely on-topic in this silly thread of yours.

    Remember folks, ALWAYS have a written record of any discussion with a leftist. Don't bother without one.

    He is a terrorist, though the POTUS won't call him what he is because he's from donald's base.

    It is an interesting photo. But hardly iconic.

    It will be remembered as the day that Republicans had to make a choice: Do they support Nazis or not?

    I disliked it when Trump would call it muslim terrorism before the police had finished investigating the incident. I would dislike it now. Perhaps it is another example of his hypocrisy or perhaps he learned his lesson. I would be curious what he says once the investigation is completed. The fact that the AG is investigating it is a good sign.

    I didn't see the left complaining when Obama refused to say Islamic terrorism.

    Or when he labeled an attack as workplace violence.

    Why didn't Obama call out these groups by name?

    Uh, YEAH, it was completely on-topic. OH, and I'm still here posting in your inane thread. Your credibility on the other hand flew the coop ages ago and this bogus thread is just the latest example.

    Iconic photo of our times... ROFL.

    America can only be destroyed from within and that is why the POS in The White House that refuses to call this what it was, needs to go sooner than later and take his racist buddies who are on the taxpayer payroll with him.

    Where did he refuse to call it anything?

    He condemned it.

    Even if he called them out by name would you have believed him or still be calling him a POS?

    Face it, there is no words he could have said that you would have liked and said good job.
