Breaking News now, wall to wall on cable news in the US

I see this as the MSM, Uniparty politicians trying to take over the narrative of the fight between the Antifa Left militants and the Alt Right groups to demonize the Alt Right.

How many FBI informants were there planted in both groups today to agitate for violence. Who knows?

The Antifa always initiates the violence, that's for sure but the media narrative will never say that.

I support non violent protest and see the greatest injustice taking place right now and deserving of protest is at the federal courthouse in Las Vegas where the Uniparty is ganging up on patriotic Americans who used their First and Second Amendment rights at Bunkerville in 2014.

Protest Acting US Attorney Steven Myhre recently praised by AG Jeff Sessions and Harry Reid crony US District Judge Gloria Navarro and their crushing of the Constitutional rights of four men in a courtroom.

That travesty is starting up again Monday morning and supporters of the defendants hope you will show up to non violently protest there.

There is a report that a car has plowed into the demonstrators. I cannot find anything on FR. Can anyone confirm?

BLM can loot and burn cities down, but a White group cannot peacefully
assemble. It too days for officials to call out the NG on the thugs in Ferguson
and Baltimore. Yet the NG is called out immediately on a group that
peacefully assembled. A double standard, for sure.

All over the news now. The Conservatives/Nationalists are being set up for elimination. Soros behind all of it.

It’s all instigated by race, taking the monuments down is about race. Leave them alone and everything would be fine, take them down you bring out the worst in both sides.

It’s a battle of evils. In this case the so-called “alt right” group is in fact white supremacists (yes, in this case, they aren’t just white people being called that because they are white - they actually are white supremacists) so there is no “demonizing” them - they’ve done it themselves. Then there is the evil Antifa group starting violence from the ultra left - but they aren’t going to be criticized because their hate and violence comes from the left so it is better hate.

I am a bit confused as to who the alt-right is. This is someone who believes in the constitution, law and order, a safe and reasonable society (where everybody born with body parts uses them in the correct bathroom) and true equal rights? Is there a definition as to who the alt-right is? ‘Cause, I suspect it’s me and I’m being demonized.

Wait a minute. A member of the right (also known as a conservative) believes in the rule of law, limited government, and personal freedoms.

So how is a white nationalist group a “far right group”?

That’s a rhetorical question. The liberal media has taken control of the narrative, and has changed the meaning of many words, including the word “liberal” itself.

Very few things happen without organization. Find out who organized the march.

any one listening to the FOX woman speaking about the conflicts with a reporter on the scene... she is blaming it all on the white folks against the take down of the General Lee statue. Damn.... a guess when you go left black you can’t go back.

Soros did not organize the protest. That is all on the KKK. Is FR making common cause with the KKK now? The antifa thugs are equally to blame. But if opposing Progressives and Soros means making alliance with white racists, no thank you.

In this demonstration, a pox on both their houses. Either side would attack my family

See my post #11, General. Great minds think alike.

You actually believe that they're all white supremacists, instead of a mixture of Southerners (Robert E Lee statue threatened with removal) and some alt-rights?

You're unusually trusting of the MSM today.

Unlike BLM, this group is not looting and burning down cities.
They have the right to a peaceful assembly, no matter what we
think about them. It is the Soro’s funded BLM that is causing violence.

AFAIK the term starts with, and dominantly implies, the neo-neo-white-supremacy movement, then proceeds to conflate anyone who would agree with “white lives matter too”.
