From the discussion on another site:

Let's recall the order of events. The City Council is a racist, anti-white council and the vice mayor is a black, openly avowed racist.

They granted the permit for the rally. The rally organizers got the word out and signed up a crowd.

At the last moment the permit is revoked. At the same time the City Council gave two separate permits for rallies, one for Antifa and another for BLM. Antifa was organizing heavily for the event.

The media had a coordinated narrative already prepared.

Democratic governor declares a state of emergency just as the rally begins.

Cops and antifa immediately attack the rally-goers and drive them out.

Now, you don't have to be a super-IQ genius to understand what's going on here.

This was an own goal inasmuch as the right decided to play by the left's rule book.

Recall also that the governor -- who declared a state of emergency -- is none other than Clinton Slimbag Terry McAuliffe, who made millions on stock of Global Crossing, and who restore the rights of felons to vote in Virginia in time for the last Presidential election.

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

Wow. Two whole people in a crowd of hundreds in a close-up shot.

Gullible much?

This article is from BBC where in the UK they don’t have a clue about their left from their right, and are proving it more each time we read about the goings on there.

What are the chances that George Soros fingerprints are some how involved?

I’m trusting of what they say about themselves and who they are...I don’t need the MSM and the left, who would say the same thing about you and I as they say about actual white supremacists. The term can actually be accurate to describe certain people even though it has been so overused to just describe anyone the left or the MSM doesn’t like that it has almost lost any real meaning.

Africans are a lawless lot because they are allowed. It’s part of affirmative action.

There were some white supremacists there; but there were many others.

Don't let the left set the narrative.

Yes, you’re being demonized. We all are if we support the Constitution. We’re anti- multicultural (open borders, socialistic NWO ) “white nationalist” racists if we seek to protect our nation’s borders, history, identity, Rule of Law, monuments symbolizing our history, and so on.

"...they actually are white supremacists) so there is no “demonizing” them - they’ve done it themselves..."

Just to clear this up, are the "white supremacists" automatically bad, and the BLM guys not so bad or OK or what?

Alt right is the left’s code for normal white.

Could be. It’s hard to keep up.

The “Unite the Right” protestors have moved to a different park in Charlottesville.

There are pictures on Twitter of David Duke addressing the crowd there.

Perhaps not all of the protestors are aligned with him, but some of them are. That is exactly why it is a good idea to stay away from protests like this.

White folks prefer death and rape to being smeared as “icky” Nazis. Typical.

What exactly do white supremacists want? How can you tell they are white supremacists?

I need more information. Did both groups have permits to assemble and where were the assemblies - surely the city would NOT provide permits to the same area at the same time.

My thinking is that if one group did not have a permit to peacefully assemble, that group is in the wrong. Police should have hauled them all away.

If one group left their location to confront the other group, they should have been hauled away by police.

This situation could have been an example for all. City government failure in leadership.
