Are they protesters or counter protesters or counter counter protesters?

The protesters were there to protest the rally supporters. They were counter to the original gathering crowd.

When there is a monument that people are gathering to protect (which as we’ve seen doesn’t have to have ANY ties to the Confederacy), they are called “protesters” when what they protest is sudden (didn’t bother the Left in January of 2016) anger at century old monuments.

The terms protester and counterprotester have lost all meaning because “for”/”against” falls down to perspective.

Call them militant Leftist agitators and be done with it.

Anyone notice the number of articles posted here today have been about news from CNN, NBC, etc.? Just an observation but where are the stories from the “NOT FAKE NEWS” providers?

Are you sure it wasn’t a pepper ball?

I didn’t think rubber bullets made a big puff of white like that on impact.

The people accusing Trump of trying to ignite a civil war want one.

I don't believe they do. They want to shut down opposition to them by shouting us down and intimidation.

Fake News CNN reported police responded with tear gas after ANTIFA threw water bottles at police.

CNN = ISIS/ANTIFA
