Richard Spencer, police and protesters descend on Univ. of Florida
CNN ^ | October 19, 2017 | Eric Levenson

(CNN)The University of Florida in Gainesville is bracing for a day of protests Thursday when white supremacist Richard Spencer arrives on campus to deliver a speech on his racist views.

The event, scheduled for Thursday afternoon, will be Spencer's first planned visit to a college campus since he and others participated in the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August. University and local officials are concerned that Thursday's event could also become violent, and they have taken a number of steps to prevent that.

On Monday, Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency for Alachua County, where the university is located, to enable law enforcement agencies to work together more efficiently. He also made a provision for the National Guard to be activated if necessary. "I find that the threat of a potential emergency is imminent," Scott said in the executive order declaring the state of emergency.

I actually did some digging around on this guy. These labels on him have been applied by the SPLC and ADL. Are we 100% sure this guy is what they say he is? These are the same entities that have labeled the Family Research Council and D. James Kennedy ministries as a “hate group”.

Now you are saying that Soros is paying both Antifa and Spencer?

The college said it couldn’t refuse Spencer to speak there. That’s a lot of cr**.

No, let me be clear - you're being facetious because you like Richard Spencer.

Rubin explains the tuggery of the left... this stunt would fit right in with it:

“Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report used to be a big progressive.

He even had a show with The Young Turks! But now he’s NOT a progressive. He has left the left. Why? Dave Rubin shares his story.”

That’s nothing new. Soros has been blamed for funding Antifa in Charlottesvile.

"...declaring a state of emergency..."


Governor Rick Scott needs to chill-out with his breathless panicking. Calm down, Rick.

re”He’s quite academic and really, only, advocates for people of European descent to have the same rights every other group seems to have.”

EXACTLY! I have listened to him before and he is FAR from a KKK follower. THANK YOU!

Is this the same guy that caused the riots in Charlottesville? If so , IIRC , that guy was found to have been an Obama campaigner and a Hillary supporter and only this past year discovered new ideals .

I don’t believe so. This guy has been on the “alt right” for a pretty good while apparently.

Richard Spencer is one of the leaders of alt-right. Here are others: Jason Kessler, Mike Peinovich; Michael Hill, Matthew Heinbach, David Duke, Augustus Invictus, Pax Dickerson, Chris Cantwell, Andrew Anglin, Nathan Damigo, Robert Ray, Eliot Kline, Michael Tubbs, and other.

There are also many groups such as Traditionalist Worker Party and League of the South

These are amongst the alt right leaders and groups who were at Charlottesville and all these colleges are trying to stop Spencer because they are worried that another Charlottesville will break out.

There have been two civil lawsuits filed against the many alt-right participants, leaders and groups over what happened at Charlottesville

Wait, what? OK, we "wait" for leftists to invite us to OUR PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES. Riiiiight.

That technique has been tried for decades.

It failed. It conserved ZERO.

It resulted in white kids being a stranger and a, soon to be, despised, minority in the country of their ancestors.

Spencer is a voice telling those kids--"yeah, what you are experiencing is real and your feelings about it are valid"

Dick is a Boston leftist goon paid by the progressives to act like a mythical “right wing racist” in order to cover for left wing racism

Richard Spencer is not what he appears to be.

He is likely some sort of CIA-connected instigator, or something like that.

I know Spencer. He isn’t funded by CIA, Soros, FBI or any other shady outfit. He’s pretty much what he says he is.
