Cherry picking your photos doesn't help your cause, in fact it undermines it. Because it only take a quick effort to google for photos like these:

Why didn't he let the police or the National Guard intervene sooner, before someone got killed?

Because he was following a court order.

This. The Governor was in a damned did you do/ damned if you don't situation. The City had public safety concerns before the rally took place and said they couldn't secure the demonstration area. They tried to move it to an area that could be better secured. And a federal Court ordered them not to.

If McAuliffe had moved the National Guard in before he absolutely had to, the Alt right would have sued. He didn't more them fast enough, and people are pissed.

Here's an idea, maybe the Alt right (and the ACLU, who represented them) should have worked with law enforcement to ensure public safety? Instead of forcing them to allow a protest that the CITY SAID WAS UNSAFE.

It's the job of the government to keep the peace in a situation like this. Some of the demonstrators had the necessary permits, some did not. I don't know why the governor and the law enforcement saw fit to not enforce the law and allowed the situation to deteriorate. Nothing excuses physical violence except in self defense, but it's a failure of the VA governor and law enforcement agencies to not contain a confrontational situation.

The governor said in his statement that white supremacists and Nazis are not Americans. This is wrong. These violent white supremacists and violent Nazis are Americans the same as violent Antifa, and violent BLM members. Virginia has an obligation to issue a public gathering permit to anyone and maintain the peace - it is a core component of government function. I find it reprehensible for a government official to fail at his job and blame one side of a two-sided confrontation.

Have you seen the pictures of the violent white supremacists?

Maybe there are also pictures of people in Charlottesville wearing Black Lives Matter T-shirts and carrying helmets and shields and guns. I haven't seen any, though. If you have, please post them.

Yes I saw it. The target of their attack weren't random people on the street, but counter-demonstration people who did not have a permit to be there. Antifa/BLM members gathered at the statue the night before, even before the permitted demonstrators showed up, you saw that video right? Here's a link to CNN page:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/13/us/charlottesville-white-nationalist-rally-car-crash/index.html

Antifa and BLM counter protesters were throwing rocks and bottles at the white nationalists, as per their usual mode of making their "voices" heard. Notice what the white nationalist demonstrators brought with them: shields.

Again, nothing excuses violence towards another person, but lets not pretend this is a one-sided act of violence. There is plenty of blame to go around here and ultimately it is a failure of the VA government to enforce the law and keep the peace. Why Antifa/BLM members were allowed to stay without a permit is beyond me.

Kudos to those who showed up to express disdain at the bigotry of Nazis and KKKs. Fascists and white supremacists should know beyond a doubt that their hatred is unwelcome in any part of America.

So, kudos for throwing rocks, bottles and pepper spraying people who are legally and lawfully assembling in a public space by permit? I see who the real fascists are...

So that makes it ok?

Every time people say, "Nothing excuses violence towards another person, but..." what they're really saying is, "I'm excusing violence towards another person, so that we can get on to this other issue, which is that one that I consider really important."
