Violence on Both Sides
IWB ^ | Robert Carbery

Posted on 08/17/2017 4:20:50 AM PDT by davikkm

The unfortunate and violent events that occurred in Charlottesville last weekend were a tragedy. We cannot accept the loss of life over political violence. The mainstream media has distorted the truth as they always do. And President Trump has fought back against this one-sided narrative spewing out through the airwaves to the dullards believing the propaganda. The alt-left is real and is much more violent and against free speech than those on the alt-right. Believe me.

Yes, there were Nazis there. Yes, there were white supremacists there. But they do not make up anywhere close to a majority of the peaceful right-wing patriots present with a legal permit to rally to protest the renaming of Emancipation Park and defending of the Robert E. Lee statue that is testament to our combative history as a young nation.

There is violence on both sides of this issue. Many on the right showed up ready for a fight. Just as many on the left, including the aggressively violent Antifa, also geared up for battle in the college town of Virginia last weekend. We cannot blame one side for this tragic day. Both are to blame. One cannot hold the history of the KKK and the Nazis as proof that the alt-right at this rally were the ones who instigated the violence and are the only ones to blame for it.

It’s the Soros, “O”, Jarrett dream come true... and stupid Republicans let it take place.

They’re all asleep at the switch...I blame the people who ought to know better and did nothing.

Question..
Why has there been NO pictures of Antifa members with clubs, sticks, bags of urine, etc.?
I fully believe they started the melee attacking the demonstrators but no pictures.

Were these people white supremacist or were they just protesting taking down the statues? They keep saying this, but I don’t trust the left and their lap dog media.

Here’s how it works. Leftists like Kathy Griffith have a right to unlimited acts of free speech but for those of us on the right, no so much. And that’s how the Bill of Rights works in general... according to liberals... and if you disagree, you’re a racist.

FDR statement at the dedication of the statue in question.

==============

Remarks at the Unveiling of the Robert E. Lee Memorial Statue, Dallas, Texas. June 12, 1936

"I am very happy to take part in this unveiling of the statue of General Robert E. Lee.

All over the United States we recognize him as a great leader of men, as a great general. But, also, all over the United States I believe that we recognize him as something much more important than that. We recognize Robert E. Lee as one of our greatest American Christians and one of our greatest American gentlemen."

=================

Lee, leaving after signing the documents of surrender... an honorable man who unfortunately fought on the wrong side. Slavery was, and still is, a Democrat legacy and a moral stain upon the dignity of this nation :-(

Many years ago, after a discussion of slavery at the dinner table, my grandmother asked me how I think I would have acted had I been born during slavery. I said that if I had been born at that time I would rather have been born a slave than to have been born a slave owner. She nodded her head in agreement. My grandmother was a wise and wonderful woman, taken too soon by the horrifying disease called Alzheimers :-(

The three major hate groups represented need to be investigated by the FBI with information SHARED with the American people. Not through the press - a group that would lie for the benefit of the left wing hate group - and lie against the right wing hate group... But information put out by an FBI official press outlet.

Who's paying for the groups? Who organizes transportation, travel, weapons purchase? Is any group infiltration and urging violence? Are undercover liberal elite groups ginning up violence for political gain? (rouge FBI agents?)...

Who pays for left wing groups? Travel, printing, weapons, and organization? These groups don't function in a vacuum. Trump and Sessions need to call for FULL investigations of the structure behind both sides.

Many people assert there were “Nazis there.” Are there any photographs of people wearing swastikas?

“BOTH sides” blah blah blahblah......

The very ESSENCE of ‘fake news’ for all to see.

Clearly, the alt-Antifa LEFTISTS came to START a fight—with piss-bombs, packaged human turd PROJECTILES, improvised flame-throwers, etc.
(Try DNA testing on that human excrement—the results just might be interesting.)
The ‘right’ had mostly DEFENSIVE armor.
That is to PROTECT THEMSELVES.
The police reports tell us who ATTACKED FIRST.

But Nooooooooooo.......MSM. It’s all Nazzzzis.

(The car ‘assault’, BTW amounts to a panicked young driver desperately trying to AVOID mob attack while getting the hell out of Dodge. SEE THE VIDEO .

"...Are there any photographs of people wearing swastikas?..."

There was one guy with a swastika flag, and it looks like he was a paid protester.

That is, he was paid by leftists to cause trouble.

Not even a real Nazi.

It’s the Soros, “O”, Jarrett dream come true... and stupid Republicans let it take place.

It's the left's same game plan as before: Get violent groups together and make sure the police are ORDERED to stay away.

Does San Jose ring a bell? Does Berkeley with Milo sound familiar?

The left MUST STOP PRESIDENT TRUMP. To do that, they have to align him with radical right wing fanatics. They are attempting to do that by:

1. Ordering the police to stand down

2. Having violent left wing nuts show up even though they had no permit as the right wingers did

3. Enlist the corrupt press to report RIGHT WINGERS ONLY when the left attacked the car before he sped away.

President Trump reported it was both sides but he was wrong. IF the left had not attacked the drivers car, he would NOT have sped away. IF the 32 year old woman had not jumped on the back of the car, she would still be alive.

The left cannot allow President Trump to continue destroying so much of the leftist plan to damage//destroy the west. Trump must be stopped! The leftists will destroy the US to save it for their leftist/Muslim borderless utopia.
