Good morning people,
A few of things to keep in mind about the violence yesterday: 1) The NAZI / KKK / Alt Right / White Supremacists / Trump Supporters (whatever you want to call them) had a legal permit to march in Charlottesville. 2) The march was peaceful until the 'counter protesters', the people without permits (the Bernie people), showed up. 3) The police were ordered to stand-down, by the government - hence the violence was intentional.
One Leftist that I know says that the easy way to avoid the violence is to not permit the NAZIs (and similar groups) to protest. In other words, if there's a threat of violence, not from the marchers, but from their opponents, then don't allow the march. So I pointed out a few things:
1) Where does it end? Right after Trump took office there was 'Million Women March' - if Trump's people had threatened to attack that march with guns, would the proper response be to tell those women to go home and forget it? Or, instead, have the police round up Trump's people? Hopefully most would agree that Trump's people would need to be rounded up? [but, of course, no violence happened, since our side never instigates the violence]
2) So does that mean that someone in government gets to 'decide' which peaceful groups (i.e., the NAZIs or the Women) get to march and which ones do not? Doesn't sound good to me. What if Trump government decide that violence is more likely when Women march than when the KKK marches...would that be ok? Or should every peaceful group be allowed to march, with implication anyone who starts violence is arrested and held accountable?
3) How far should this extend? If Trump wants to hold a rally in Springfield, Missouri, but the local Democrat Party (or some other group) promises that they will violently attack the Trump people, should the event then be canceled? Should Trump be allowed to address any large group, if violence is threatened? Should Trump be permitted to address any group (large or small) if violence is threatened. Should any Republican be permitted to address any group, if violence is threatened? Should any Republican be allowed to speak in public, at all?
4) In Australia a Jewish Synagogue was refused a building permit last week, not because the Jews in Australia are violent, but because other groups (and we know who they are) might attack the synagogue. Is that the end game...no more houses of worship if just the existence those houses of worship might incite people? In Texas, there's a battle between What-A-Burger and In-and-Out Burger going on in Dallas right now. If the people working at What-A-Burger threaten to burn down In-and-Outs, should In-and-Out be denied building permits, even though In-and-Out is a peaceful company? Should the people of Dallas have to continue to suffer under the reign of What-A-Burger because of the threat of violence against In-and-Out? Like I ask, where does this end?

Thank you Mr. Obama. Never in 100 years have we had so much mob violence.
Far too logical and common sense . . . the communists will never listen. Need some emotion or feelings before anything registers
That was the first punch thrown and whatever happened after that is self defense.
Oh that’s easy, both In-N-out and what-A-burger should be burnt to the ground and we all know it.
I hear you. Perhaps some fake news for them. Consider:
“Woman’s March over Planned Parenthood Cuts cancelled by Waco City Council due to threat of violence by Southern Baptists”
Hit them where it hurts...
“Oh that’s easy, both In-N-out and what-A-burger should be burnt to the ground and we all know it.”
That is such Bullish (LOL). Then what takes over, ObamaBurger? People will still need access to burgers from somewhere. Do we really want to just be left with only a Uniburger?
“Where Does This Violence End”
It ends with the impeachment and conviction of
President Trump.
Then, there will be peace.
IMHO
It will probably end when people stop watching TV shows and movies that keep peeling the scabs of slavery; it is a non-stop barrage that is no longer focused around “black history month”. They aren’t just keeping blacks enraged; they are keeping them in a “victim state” (which makes basic relations impossible).
I wonder if the government has chosen sides?
Which they really do in my opinion.
It ends in the third civil war (the Revolution was actually the first among other things). And civil wars really never end.
Not going to happen.
The election of Donald J. Trump may have prevented it from happening.
You wonder? LOL. Here is a hint. The side they have chosen ain’t ours.
Too much money to be made ‘’peeling the scabs’’ of slavery. Hows things ‘’kearny’’? I was up in the old hometown a few weeks ago seeing an old buddy of mine.
The violence will end when Soros and his organizations have their funds frozen so they can’t pay to fund this shit. I guarantee that all money coming from the Deep State to fund this chaos is being run through those organizations.
Actually, I already knew that. I just wanted to know what others thought. 🙃😆
It has become an industry unto itself (the “racial grievance industry”); you’re right.
Things are fine here, thank you; how is everything with you? I guess you noticed that Harrison has reached halfway up into Kearny; still relatively peaceful.
