[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Antifa are the losers who violently protest legally protected political speech across the globe. The. Globe.

KKK are revolting and Charlottesville *shouldn't* have issued the permit if they didn't anticipate Antifa vs KKK. If they didn't they were asleep at the switch. [/quote]

You do realize that peaceful counterprotests are as constitutionally protected as the protests themselves, right?   Trumpkins seem to think that they have the right to protest, but everyone else has to STFU and not call them on their sh*t.  That's not the way the 1st Amendment works. You get to hold a white pride rally. The ACLU will fight for your right to do so. And we get to protest your white pride rally.

It works until you decide that your views should not be challenged and mow down pedestrians. [/quote]
Why was so much violence allowed, before the police finally stepped in?[/quote]

That's a great question. And one that the law enforcement agencies at issue should be forced to answer. Because they did not want to or felt they could not stand up to men with assault weapons?  Because they were more sympathetic to white protestors than they would have been to minorities?  Because they were okay with the escalation?  Because they were badly trained?  Because they were not expecting the size and violence of the protests?  Because vast left wing conspiracy?

Both sides are pointing fingers at the police and accusing them of having an agenda. But it could be they just screwed up.  But this needs to be evaluated so that we know what happened and why. And it needs to serve as a case study of what not to do. Certainly, it was known well in advance. that there were going to be large scale protestsi volvong heavily armed protestors.  The potential for a disaster was plain.  If C-vile police couldn't handle it, they could have called the  national guard.  And D.C. Police 100 miles away, who are used to dealing with large scale demonstrations and could have lent expertise. [/quote]
