A Charlottesville city council meeting devolved into chaos last night as protesters interrupted the proceedings with chants of "blood on your hands."
Monday's meeting was the first since a white supremacist rally turned violent, leaving a woman dead when a man plowed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters.

If our elected are too cowardly to stand up to their duty to protect, then replace them. President Trump was correct to say both sides are responsible....both sides have radicals who want a revolution...for what? I am sure they haven't a clue either. The Media is muddying the water by irresponsible reporting, stirring the pot with fake reporting. How many of those illegal immigrants that Obama let in are men 18 and over do you suppose are part of BLM. B.P.,Antfia and other funded protesters?
I’d prefer arresting everyone involved and them process them one by one identifying them with their affiliation and make this information available to the public.
I think masks are/were banned in many Southern states decades ago as a move against the KKK mask and hoods.
Probably enough laws on the books now to prosecute. It clearly was pre planned as part of an intensive propaganda campaign.
I hate to say it but I agree with the protestors - that city government and McAwful do have blood on their hands. No way they should have ordered the police to stand down. Those two groups should never have gotten anywhere near each other. The result was predictable - or is that what they wanted?
The disruption was criminal fomenting a riot. Even the dead woman was breaking the law by an illegal assembly. No tears for her.
“Probably enough laws on the books now to prosecute.”
No doubt. Unfortunately, they are not applied consistently and often even ignored.
There oughta be a law.
VA has one, apparently it was not enforced in C’ville.
§ 18.2-422. Prohibition of wearing of masks in certain places; exceptions.
It shall be unlawful for any person over 16 years of age to, with the intent to conceal his identity, wear any mask, hood or other device whereby a substantial portion of the face is hidden or covered so as to conceal the identity of the wearer, to be or appear in any public place, or upon any private property in this Commonwealth without first having obtained from the owner or tenant thereof consent to do so in writing.
It’s ironic, there was no big violence in that meeting, just a bunch of people yelling, yet the cops actually reacted and stepped in.
Where have they been?
Law Enforcement has to do the job they sworn to do...
The masked “protestors” should be told to remove the masks or remove themselves from the premises...PERIOD...
Anyone carrying something in their hands, like a stick or club should be immediately removed....
The council ended by agreeing to remove all the statues, so they got what they wanted.
I agree with you. The whole thing reeks of a staged event. Even if it wasn’t, the police were either ordered to stand down or were not adequately supported in order to intervene. And the responsibility for that failure ultimately falls on the elected leadership; mayor and council.
They do have blood on their hands.
She was blocking the roadway and beating on the front car. I’ve seen some call her a “hero”. Sheesh. Lunatics abound.
“The masked “protestors” should be told to remove the masks or remove themselves from the premises...PERIOD...”
The masked protestors should have been clubbed into insensibility, then taken to jail.
“Removed”? How about “arrested”?
And let IRS, Social Security Administration, and others investigate the employee-employer relationships, appropriate licensing, insurance, reporting income, declaring and withholding taxes, etc. Bet little of that is going on. And, DOJ and FBI investigate for conspiracy. Were these people paid to commit violence? RICO?
But I thought that Loretta Lynch in her famous streetwise video to resistors told them that “some of us may even die”.
Maybe the left-wing perp was just being an obedient fascist murderer for his cause.
And maybe the mayor or police chief gave permission?
