In reading several blogs, news reports, editorials and personal opinions I can't help but notice a common theme. Everyone seems to blame the local police department for letting it get out of control. Everyone seems to forget in a "planned demonstration" such as this is the first thing that will happen. Security Command and Control will be taken away from the local Department. The State Police were in charge. The local Police were told where to be and when to be there. They were not allowed to initially deploy in there riot gear. It was in a van a block away. Did they retreat? Yes, to gear up. A special thanks to the guys with "We the People " tatoos. Geared up and standing between the Antifas and the local police. They simply stated they were there to protect the local force. Several out there seem to think the local PD was on the side of the Left. Not true. There mayor, city council, and state officials are leftists and that's who they answer to and get paid by, for risking it everyday. Would it have been worth one of their lives to stop a riot between two groups that both HATE the America we love? No. And it sure as hell wouldn't have been worth my son being injured protecting one of those idiots. Thank You.

McAuliffe’s little doubt behind it.

Nothing would have happened if everyone had just stayed home and let the white bigots have their protest and leave. It’s not like they were going to trash the town after a few speeches.

Can’t say the same about Antifa or BLM, however. Neither require an opponent to engage in destruction.

I think they’re all working together, though. All three groups are “antiwar” in their own way and against any restrictions on Iran ...and none of them have any tolerance for Israel. I think half the flak directed at Trump is because he’s got jooooos in the family.

For a little more perspective, let us try to use some memory. I still have a little. Am I the only one who remembers that the violence started last year at a Trump rally in Chicago, the instigators are known and it has been shown that they were paid by the DNC. Maybe I missed it but have any of them been arrested? Have any of them been prosecuted?

Let us go a little further, the undercover videos of DNC shills blatantly confessing to crimes they are proud of, were any of them prosecuted? I mean, really. Anyone who has ever raised a two year old knows better than let crap like this just go on.

Thank your son for doing a thankless, dangerous job on our behalf.

Were there any arrests made other than the guy that drove the car?

Prayers that your son always be safe.

If I see a cruiser parked in a parking lot, I make it a point to pull alongside and roll down my window and tell Officer thanks for being out there, and stay safe.

Two other arrests. One for a concealed weapon, and one for disorderly conduct or something similar.

Saw a picture of an individual using a can of propellent as a flame thrower. I would think it is a good chance that person was mentally ill. The city had some advanced intel things were going to get out of hand. They wanted to move the event but were turned down. The ACLU and a federal judge stepped in. I am guessing FOIA’s will be needed to get to the bottom of it, or at least a better understanding of what happened at the local and state level.

If you go and find the video where the car came up into the crowd...the crowd didn’t disperse, and it appears to me...the lady put herself in the position to be hit. Maybe she felt that would just stop him, but I think when this comes to a jury...they won’t be able to get a conviction...even on some lesser assault charge. Maybe the kid is screwed up a bit, but if anyone puts themselves in front or to the rear of a vehicle....thinking that will stop some driver...they really aren’t thinking over the situation.

Two groups that BOTH hate America? Really? One group was there to protest the removal of the statue of a United States Veteran. The counter-protesters were the ones that hate America. Get your facts straight, and ignore the propaganda.

>>if anyone puts themselves in front or to the rear of a vehicle....thinking that will stop some driver...they really aren’t thinking over the situation.

“Stopping power” is something that gets discussed a lot in firearms threads regarding various caliber selections. What sometimes gets thrown in is the truly *enormous* “stopping power” of a moving vehicle at, say, 20 or 25mph when using the same measures often used for analyzing stopping power of a bullet. It dwarfs the stopping power of true high power rifle cartridges.

So back to your point, you are spot on. DO NOT try to block a moving vehicle with your body and expect it to end well.

I lurk over at 4chan a lot. Their board is hardly moderated at all. Anything goes but child porn and beastiality it seems. They also get shilled hard. It is pretty easy to separate the wheat from the chaff and most of the DailyStormer stuff is pretty easy to filter out but the BSM latches on to it to discredit them. The guys at “alt-right” are celebs from that board, mostly, as far as I can tell.
These kids make no secret of the fact they are gamers. They are mostly under 25 white males. They put on a different skin every time they log in. My sense is that they think nothing of putting on a “Nazi” skin. It doesn’t mean the same thing to them it would mean to us, whose parents actually killed Nazis. Hell my uncle actually helped hang Nazis at Nuremberg. To them IMHO, putting on a “Nazi skin” is just a way to strike terror into the hearts of their enemies, Antifa.
Read Altura’s firsthand account of the event yesterday. He says he saw very few Nazi flags and no armbands. The BSM found the few and hyped them. Like I say, we have things that need doing and making the streets safe for Trump supporters is just one of those things. If we can be deterred by being called names we don’t deserve to win the streets, we don’t deserve to win the tax reform, we don’t deserve to win the fight against corruption.

Yea lets not blame the police when to was the police which said to the protesters they have to move away from the park to the area where Antifa /BLM are , who I have seen never had a permit, and if they did why was one issued to them and be allowed to form right next tot he protesters?
Why did the police not provide adequate safety, and why did the police allow Antifa to keep walking the streets with bats shouting our streets whilst intimidating locals, and others?

I hope that city gets sued, and this is not h first time for that city who has riot problems, remember BLM rioted there too.
Another city going the same way as Seattle, Portland, San freako, and Oakland

I’m beginning to wonder if TEA party rallies would be attacked by these creatures. Could we safely gather to protest government intrusion into our lives like we did eight years ago?

No. Remember the Trump supporters who were beat down and bloodied for attending Trump rallies last year?

Not sure what happened here, but it looks like local and state governments defied a federal judges order to let that group protest. If they couldn't guarantee the groups safety, they should have gone back to the judge and asked for a delay or a different ruling. It makes wonder if there is direct collusion between dem party hacks in government and these leftist groups. If I were a betting man, I'd take the bet.

I don’t know if it is true or not but I read yesterday there was a car park a block or so away where a number of alt right folks had parked and the Antifa crowd was attacking them as they left the exit. It had been sugggested that perhaps this driver was attacked a block earlier and that he may have been a bit rattled. They have video of his car being attacked before he hit anybody. If this is true, he should be found not guilty but the BSM won’t stand for it. They won’t cover the Eric CLanton story but they sure as hell are gonna cover this guy’s prosecution. This guy is gonna be bigger than OJ for the BSM. He might as well start carving a cross right now because they are gonna crucify him.
