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.

“Or Asian, probably because of the intelligence level.”

Not one of those pukes carrying torches and chanting “Blood & Soil” has a high level of intelligence.

And today, they add the KKK flags.

The deep state/political establishment will *always* attempt to tar conservatism, libertarianism and constitutionalism with the white supremacy label. I do not know about this particular gathering and the groups involved. If I were a leader of any conservative organization, I would make it clear that any fringe racist group was absolutely NOT welcome. That’s all.

This is the most Neo Nazis I've ever seen together publicly. There's actually hundreds of them. They must be gathered from all around the country.

Here' a great instructive difference in two radical groups. The left's radical actions are always organized by the low number radical communists; most actual leftist protesters are too gullible to know or don't care who leads them.

Conservatives will not be led by white supremacists or show up at a Neo Nazi rally. When they can get so many together it's a great propaganda tool for liberal news media to pretend it's a bunch of conservatives.

It makes one briefly wonder if they're hired for that but when you see them writing, on video or actually talk to one you realize they are just as nutty as Commies and Anarchists. Can't we get all three groups into a football stadium and lock the doors?

You’re calling me a “coward” because I don’t want to see the Patriot movement destroyed by frank white supremacists and agent provocateur infiltrators?

Sometimes I wonder about some of the posters here, and whose payroll they are on.

Um, if someone calls me a “faggot” I don’t run off and join a gay pride parade to prove a point. If these people want to be racists then that is THEIR decision, not someone else’s fault.

F that victim mentality.

That sure ain’t the San Jose police dept. at the Trump For President rally is it. Or the Chicago rally. Or the Charlotte-Mecklenburg police at the Charlotte riots either.

Some protesters are more equal than others.

Silly. Guess a lot of folks didn’t get the memo. If you’re white/caucasion, you are automatically in the kkk at birf. Secret decoder rings and handshakes and all.

Exactly my point. Years of calling white people racist doesn’t give anyone a good reason to prove them right.

#Charlottesville is what identity politics escalation looks like. It isn't the first and it won't be the last.

The left would have us think that nut cases in Charlottesville represent conservatives. US was not founded on race, but on principles.
