Best read at the link given that the photos are Getty and I'm too stupid to properly cut and paste the actual Tweets.

The whole thing reminded me of a certain scene in The Blues Brothers.

The country is reeling from the events that took place in Charlottesville this weekend.

Bullshit. I bet 99% of the country doesn't know, or doesn't care about it. Seriously. This crap matters almost exclusively to the perpetually aggrieved professional activist class.

Charlottesville was a staged event.
The violence was perpetrated by the leftist mob.

We are being gaslighted into giving up our history and our country.

Ah yes... another foreigner telling us about our history and how we should think about it.

F- off. I’m done with you twits racially telling me how I should think.

Good black people proclaim “that’s not us” too. Nor do they ignore their own violence and culpability in the bloody mosaic of world history

Anyone remember the attack on GOP senators a few weeks ago?
Gone down the memory hole.

The car crash will be talked about for years.

This crap matters almost exclusively to the perpetually aggrieved professional activist who is on the payroll and expense accounts of non-profit political activist groups funded by the Soros, Obama, and Clintonista muck rakers"

There.

#ThisIsNotUs forgets that the United States was built through the genocide of Indigenous Americans and the slavery of black people.

It doesn’t forget a damn thing. It does say that there was much more that happened besides any of that.
And we will NOT let you denigrate any of it.

Why is it that when a leftard uses the words, “hard truths,” you know that he is about to embark on a lie jihad.

Because it looks to me like one side had a permit and was exercising its constitutionally protected right to free speech, while the other side presented itself with the specific intent and purpose of denying the first side its constitutional rights by attacking them violently.

What places the first side on the same moral plane with the second? Is exercising constitutional rights morally equivalent to denying them by violence?

Even if the first side moved to defend itself after the felonious assault by the second, that was just the exercise of another of their rights.

No, the only way the first side is at fault is in holding and speaking opinions that others find objectionable. That’s it. That’s the only thing they did wrong.

The organizers are, not necessarily everyone at the events.

Hard truths?

Like Communism kills?
100,000,00 dead, millions more enslaved

Oh that wasn’t REAL Commnism

But they love it just the same

What they are slowly -but-surely accomplishing, is to have more of us not giving a damn about their grievances

“Exactly,they came to cause trouble.”

The DOJ should come down on the Antifa and BLM scum with indictments for civil rights violations.

Oh, how sweet it would be to see BLM filth convicted of violating the civil rights of Nazis.

Despite numerous calls by black women people to stop using the hashtag in reference to Heyer, many continue to do so. By using #SayHerName to discuss the death of a white woman, “good white people” are doing exactly the thing that the hashtag was created to stop: erasing black women.

So let me get this right: This writer demands that Heather Heyer's name be excluded from some Leftist hashtag pantheon of martyred women ... because Ms Heyer is white.

The author of this piece should go to Zimbabwe to learn the lesson of what happens when hatred of white people, like hers, is unleashed against innocent white citizens ... all with the approval of its thug leader, Mugabe.
