Ohm Ohm N.A.P. Ohm: Man I am so angry right now... [Charlottesville]

Breathe, relax, Non-Aggression Principle, Non-Aggression Principle. Do not initiate aggression except in self defense or in defense of others.

Begin Rant:

I am incredibly angry right now. I happened to watch a lot of live footage from the Charlottesville, Virginia Unite Rally. Most of the people uniting there didn't appear to be racist at all and they even had black guys as part of the Unite Rally. Then the idiot Spencer was going around saying "Hail Trump" which was a bone headed thing to do. Yes, that idiot is a racist. Stating this defeats any attempt at unification as I don't know many people on the so-called "right" that would get behind that.

However, if anyone were to watch the live footage for a couple of hours you would witness Antifa showing up with coolers full of grenade like weapons. This included bottles and balloons full of shit, piss, chemicals, paint, and combinations of those. They had tear gas, mace, etc.

The Unite members had apparently agreed to make it a non-violent protest and apparently it was primarily centered around the editing of history and removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee. Guess what people? There has been racism in our history. Taking down a statue does not change that. Leaving up the statue is a reminder. I am in extreme opposition to editing and censoring of history.

Yet that isn't why I am mad. I watched Antifa do what I am used to seeing them do. They attacked. They brought the violence. I would say at a guess 95% of the violence was by Antifa.

There was a single horrible incident of someone driving a car into antifa and there are supposedly injuries, and I am unsure if there were any fatalities. This was wrong. As far as I know they didn't catch the person.

Let's refer from this point on to protestors (Unite Rally members), and counter-protestors (Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and others) that were there. Just like all the protestors were not racist, neither were all the counter-protestors violent. That violent as I've come to expect came from Antifa. I've heard that some BLM members joined in too, but that supposedly was a minority. I witnessed in the live feed a ton of Antifa violence and people trying to flee them.

The Unite people were actually pushed back into a corner, and then the police who pretty much were standing down (supposedly at the word of the mayor) declared it an unlawful assembly and told the people they had to march back through Antifa and the Counter Protestors to leave. I saw no evidence that they were making the counter protestors leave initially, but just the protestors.

Then supposedly due to the fact they had a permit for the rally (thus, it was NOT unlawful) was permitted at noon, which was 30 minutes from when they made them leave.

So yeah, I was not surprised. This is starting to be status quo. I was angry when I went on a slack my friends are on had a politics, religion, and bullshit channel spammed with mainstream media drivel that isn't even close to what actually happened.

The only thing that seems realistic is pointing out the car slamming into the antifa (it was on video) bit. Then it talks about all the problems with the protestors when 95% of the violence there was coming from the counter protestors.

You either want freedom of speech, or you do not.

Until you use violence you should be able to say what you want at a rally. Period. That doesn't mean people have to like it. That doesn't mean people cannot counter protest. Yet, as soon as it turns violent it is no longer SPEECH.

Antifa brought the violence as they have done so many times and yet the news is not reporting that. In fact, it seems like a good chance to pass laws banning free speech. There is no questioning or stopping of those that are bringing the violence.

A stand down order from the mayor seems to be fine with what was planned there.

I don't go to these protests. I trained enough in my life the first rule of my training was to avoid situations where you may need to use your training. I am no expert, but I saw plenty of weapons in that rally that could have put antifa in the hospital quickly or potentially the grave. Me and such a rally would be bad news.

I am a strong believer in the Non-Aggression Principle. That doesn't mean that injustice and twisted news don't really piss me off at times. Today is no exception.

Just to be clear. Richard Spencer and his "Hail Trump" bullshit is just a dumb ass thing to say, yet he has the freedom to say it. The person driving the car into antifa though was despicable/disgusting/horrible. These were two incidents and there was so much violence and attacking going on and all of it except the car that I saw was self defense or in reaction to attacks by Antifa.

This will likely be something people are talking about for awhile. The car had no license plates. (yet my intro picture seems to show a GVF 1111 license plate unless that is fake) I predict we'll hear people potentially talking false flag, or other issues as well. If I were one of you betting kinds I might even make that a wager.

We have the freedom of speech, at least we're supposed to. Freedom of Speech is not necessary for popular speech, no one challenges popular speech. Freedom of Speech exists to protect unpopular speech. People should be able to say whatever they want. That doesn't mean people have to like it, yet they still have the freedom to say it. If you don't like it you have the freedom of speech to say something about it.

Hitler's Youth and the minions of Mussolini where the term Fascists derived from were fond of shutting down free speech. I guess it shouldn't surprise me that in the age of backwards world where we have things like No Child Left Behind, Patriot Act, etc that the group calling themselves Antifa which means anti-fascists would actually be the most fascist group I know of in the world at the moment. They use the same tactics and act just like the historical fascists. This does however require actually studying history. It is easier just to take an appeal to authority from someone, join the group think, and start chanting, attacking, and stopping all the free speech you can stop.

Anyway... /end rant

EDIT: There was a point when the protestors were leaving initially through the counter protestors until they were allowed to come back in 30 minutes that the counter protestors that WERE NOT violent went total Game of Thrones on them. They were doing the "Shame, Shame, Shame" type chant for when Cersei does her walk of atonement. I'll admit that was kind of a funny spin. They also had the RIGHT to do that. They were not being violent. They might also take time to think about how things turned out for those that made her do that walk of attonement.
