University of Virginia police dispersed a gathering of far-right protesters on the Charlottesville, Va. campus Friday night ahead of a planned demonstration by white nationalists, white supremacists and alt-right groups on Saturday.

Police arriving on the scene declared the protest on Friday an "unlawful assembly" and told demonstrators to disperse, video footage of the gathering shows.

Protesters holding torches clustered on the campus in an apparent lead-up to a Saturday demonstration protesting Charlottesville's decision to remove a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

“Alt-Right doesn’t care what CNN says.”

CNN doesn’t care what CNN says either.

Well we agree on that. As long as he is voting in keeping with original intent and his Oath of office, I pretty much ignore him.

You’re the one screaming “racist” like a paid AntiFa stooge. You should get a job with MSNBC.

That's not what I heard.

It sounds to me that they are saying "YOU will not replace us".

More this

“The pioneer Russian marxist Plekhanov pointed out an important consequence of this distinction. “A propagandist presents many ideas to one or a few persons; an agitator presents only one or a few ideas, but presents them to a mass of people”. Like all such generalisations this one should not be taken too literally. Propaganda can, in favourable circumstances, reach thousands and tens of thousands. And the ‘mass of people’ reached by agitation is a highly variable quantity. Nevertheless, the general point is sound.”

Folks keep talkin' about another Civil War. One side has 8 trillion bullets. The other doesn't know which bathroom to use. Y'all do the math

Here's genius for you: You are a minority pressure group. In the final analysis, you are protected only by the rule of law. You are so vicious and unruly that the law disappears when you engage in an unlawful assembly thus removing your own protection. You then set out to antagonize a group of hard core psychopaths. What could go wrong. Or as Paul Joseph Watson would say, "Imagine my shock".

These antifa types are so stupid, that they want to move from taking on the nazi lawn mower and stand in front of the patriot combine fleet. I'm old. I'll make popcorn.

Way to twist the discussion, troll

Those of us here opposing any white supremacists in attendance at this rally do so because they hurt the cause, not because we support erasing our history. I am against removing these statues, and I was even against changing state flags. But the reality is, this has been a long time coming, and people claim to be so concerned now, have generally done precious little in their own sphere of influence (family) to fight a culture war that has been going on for DECADES.

How does that translate to posting this story here? Is it a bad thing to discuss here?

Maybe not at that link — there was at least one in one of the photos I posted today that Circa used. I think it was from last month’s rally when the KKK did come up from NC.

Yes, that makes sense. I didn’t see any on the news today, either.

They’re all heroes. I wonder how many of the cops were hurt today? My husband and I were talking about that this morning. I wouldn’t want that job!

The MSM uses all kinds of information warfare against us including conflation, which you point out. Their goal is to confuse, misrepresent, and lie. This is why they are #FakeNews.

I agree.

Though using logic is not “virtue signaling.” It’s pretty much universally known as “thinking.”

Which is more than I can say for what went into asinine statements like “Coincidence is for peacetime.”

I’m always fascinated by those of marginal intellect jumping straight to nonsense like “crayon” comments.

Yes, I do want you to explain it to me genius. Since when is the tempter more guilty than the tempted who falls for it?

Answer: Never, except by those without the moral fortitude to challenge those who succumb to the temptation. (this means YOU!)

I would not be associating with any racist groups, especially in a public demonstration like this. In addition to the racism, these “white pride” groups are filled with criminals, Nazis, agent provocateurs and various other unsavory characters. I would go as far as to say that virtually every prominent white racist leader in recent history has been a paid government informant, whose goal is to discredit principled liberty/independence groups. The deep state has many, many tentacles. Avoid.


Good advice!

Another failure to receive the memo. Unless your properly inculcated commencing soon after birf, if you are born caucasion, you are automatically a member of the nazi party and the kkk at birf.
