I agree that the protesters on the left needed to disperse.
One, they did not have a permit. Two, they were told to leave before this incident. There is a lot wrong with that whole day. The gov should have revoked the permit or made better plans to control all sides of the protests. This responsibility falls on the governor and local government. The media hyped this into the frenzy it became and the governor & pd did not take charge as they needed to. I.e., blockades, street closures, etc
Blaming this on Trump is ridiculous tho. Earlier in the day, he said ‘both sides’ because both sides were behaving wrongly and provoking each other. The Obama did a lot to provoke conservatives tho. With statements such as ‘if they show up with a knife, we’ll bring a gun’. Or ‘the Leo acted stupidly’, not denouncing BLM’s role in Baltimore. Trump has not provoked anyone as the left has tried to state. Completely false. Obama created racial tension that has spilled over with a vengeance. It was manifested yesterday.
I agree, and it is beyond ridiculous and totally expected that the MSM and the left in general will try to hang this on Trump. I just hope Sesssions will conduct an objective investigation and not use this as an opportunity to show how he will go after the so-called “white nationalists”.
There is plenty of wrong to be uncovered on all sides and also with the local and state governments and their strange decisions over several days.
