“Hasn’t BLM now “moved on” to being Antifa? They were OWS before.”

They’re all basically the same.

“Looks pretty intentional to me....”

No doubt - especially since it appears he had no intention of sticking around - given his quick “backup getaway”.

If the counter-protesters had stayed away, this event would have gone down as a nothing burger. But they couldn’t let that happen, so they disrupted the event with predictable results: a few fist fights, and a chance for the media to blame Trump and fan fears of a vast neo-Nazi movement about to engulf America.

The media couldn’t allow it to be “unite the right” so they turned it into White Nationalists, then White Suprmacist, and it is already KKK, even here on free republic.

“All the blame is being cast on the “White Supremacist Group” with nary a word about why and what they were protesting.”

So are the tiki torches really that dumb that they set it up so they can be used in that way?

Or are they fakes working with the left?

Seriously?

White Supremacist’s attacking Fascists?

Or

An Antifa fascist attacking a white supremacist fascist.

We need scorecards here.

I think Duke went Neo-Nazi after the Klan gave him the boot.

You ‘only’ hear about alt-right and not alt-left because the MSM is purposely fighting an information war against you. The MSM is well funded, relentless and have no morals, which is why they lie and use #FakeNews to fool you.

They purposely conflate ‘white supremacy’, ‘racism’, ‘alt-right’ and various other terms, and even redefine them at will, then use them against Caucasian people who are fighting to keep their God-given rights from being taken away by the ‘policing’ power of the ‘state’ both at the Federal and State levels.

Yep. Including the tiki torches.

It looks intentional but it is unclear who they intended to hit; The Left or the Right.

There is a big difference with being called a racist and openly welcoming racists.

Hasn’t BLM now “moved on” to being Antifa?

BLM was being backed by the Communist Party USA and the New Black Panther Party. They are still who they are but have now been joined by the ANTIFA's who are being organized and trained in violence by Communist Marxists just as the 60's Weather Underground Org. (AKA the Weathermen), The Black Panthers, SDA, SLA........and others.

It isn't about the Vietnam war anymore, it isn't about the turmoil in the Middle East, it's about destroying this country from within and turning it into a Socialist/communist state.......

Don’t start secondary arguments that have nothing to do with what we were discussing.

Violence is violence regardless of race or political views. You do the deeds of violence then pay the price regardless what race or political positions.

Never ceases to amaze me who many people, even those on here, who appear to think that white people have no legitimate self-interests. They are quick to join the left in their denunciation of any one or any group that identifies itself as white.

That pretty much covers it - competing “fringe of the fringe” groups.

If this had just been ignored to begin with nothing would have come of it. The left and media decided to give it attention - in fact I would not be surprised if the whole thing was a setup to start with being funded by the left.

Really the first gathering of it’s type I’ve seen where I can’t make sense who or what. Thus I suspect the whole thing is a put up job. I smell a Soros op.
