RE: Non-Aggression Principle: A crisis, introspection, and offer of discussion
Both sides have had permitted protests in cville in the past. Both sides have had their protests complete without interference in the past too. Getting a permit to have a protest in the first place is a bit annoying.
Clearly, by your reply, you have not seen the video and photos from the specific cville protest. The fascists came prepared for war. The other side did not. You can go look and see the numerous units of people who arrived from outside the city to cause trouble. They came for a fight, not to peacefully protest. Again, look at the images from the crowd that was driven into by the car. Look at what they were wearing and carrying. Now compare that to the numerous shield, helmet, and weapon (including rifles) on the other side. There is no comparison. It is not equal at all. Nice try though.
They are self-identified fascists. They are actual KKK members and actual white supremacists. It isn't me or anyone else calling them that. Again, I'm talking about the cville event only, and those guys called themselves fascists. They are not hiding who they are.
Don't try to suggest this is about statues either. Removing a statue will not change anything. Hell, most of the buildings on the UVA campus were made by slave labor. Are they going to tear them all down? I do not agree that the monuments should be removed.
However, if the local residents of this city decide, as a vast majority, that they want them gone, they should be removed. Alt-right nationalists, KKK, open neo nazis, and others from Ohio and other places outside the city should have ZERO say in it.
You know nothing about Charlottesville, and your post shows that well. No one has been assassinated here. No one has been getting assaulted either. As I already stated, our local police were even holding BLM signs in a past protest. Clearly, they are not racists. Our city sheriff is a very good man and "black." Our county sheriff is a very good man and "white."
None of the LOCAL people like this out of town crap coming into the area to ruin cville's reputation either. You can keep trying to spread your lies, but it isn't going to change the facts about this particular city.
the "fascists" came prepared for war after a year of being assaulted by "mostly peaceful" leftists.
give it up, the cat is out of the bag. everyone outside the echo chamber knows what is going on
Do you live in Charlottesville? Have you been to the protests? You are talking out of your arse, dude. You do not know what has happened here over the last year. As a local private investigator who lives in Charlottesville, I suspect "everyone outside the echo chamber" will accept my word over yours.
hit a nerve? LOL
if I had the time I would troll you, coz you're too blinded by your own gooey goodness to see the path before you.
here's the deal: you are either willfully ignorant OR just intellectually incapable of addressing the cause and effect relationship of a year of leftist brownshirt violence to why people might bring firearms to a free speech event.
You think people should be assaulted b/c they disagree with you?
We are going to see how THAT game plays out as more Americans see the democong behind their front groups antifa/BLM
You haven't "hit a nerve." You're just being ignorant. I live here and know the local people and police. You do not. You can keep pretending that you know something special about cville, but you do not. This place is not the rest of the country, and those other protests are not the same. Yes, I agree that there have been paid protestors, left leaning counter protestors who have been violent, etc. That will never change the fact that open racist fascists are not okay with me. They never will be either. Nice trying putting words in my mouth about assaulting them too.
