Virginia State Police: No Weapons Caches Found, Despite Gov. McAuliffe’s Claims
The Federalist Papers ^ | 8/17/2017 | Seth Connell

Posted on 08/18/2017 9:13:06 AM PDT by Beave Meister

After the horrendous clash between white supremacists and Antifa Communists in Charlottesville, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) claimed that the police did not break up the fight because of the fact that the Neo-Nazis were so heavily armed that separating the groups would have been explosive.

During an interview with Black Lives Matter activists DeRay McKesson, McAuliffe stated that the police had found weapons caches around the city, and that intervention would have created an even more violent situation,

“They had battering rams and, you know, we had picked up different weapons they had stashed around the city,” McAuliffe told Mckesson. “This was a powder keg. This was a very volatile situation. And I’ll once again say, I am very proud of our team on the ground. Nobody hurt except for those people hit by the car and you couldn’t stop that.”

Clinton’s Bag Man should not be governor, he should be an inmate.

Maybe I am missing something, please Help:

The white guys had a Permit to Protest and Rally, all legal like. Correct??

The ANTIFA Brownshirts showed up Without a Permit and began to Protest ILLEGALLY. Correct??

The Police Department REFUSED to Enforce the Law against the ANTIFA Brownshirts for TRESPASSING, Disturbing the Peace, and Holding an Illegal Protest. Correct??

The Police Department willfully and knowingly steered the ANTIFA Brownshirts into the same area as the White Guys. Correct??

I believe I am correct on all 4 points.

WHY HASN’T THE US ATTORNEY ARRESTED AND CHARGED THE POLICE CHIEF AND ALL OFFICERS THERE WITH MURDER,Maybe even the Mayor and Governor if it can be shown they took part in this, under the Felony Murder Rule??

Sorry Mr Police Officer, but “Just Following Orders” doesn’t cut it when to do so costs innocent lives to be taken.

THEY SET THIS UP just as if they Conspired to commit the MURDER themselves and they all belong in PRISON FOR LIFE!!!

And people wonder why I would never trust or believe anything a Government Employee EVER SAYS.

They did not look in the mosques. In the basements. The ones with the armories and ‘manufacturing areas’.

Doing that would be Islamophobic and the left is opposed to Islamophobia ... and they will be even when they’ve been made to bare their backs to the sword.

Eh. Give it time. With the help of Google, the nearly defunct Snopes, The Failing New York Times, and the rest of the media, all this stuff will disappear and McAuliffe will be shown to have never said any such thing.

That is what Memory Holes are for, after all.

I hate it when I’m right.

I can’t even get angry about it anymore. They are all scorpions taking rides on frogs.

"...In longer comments that were later edited out of the Times' story, McAuliffe said that up to 80 percent of the rally attendees were carrying semi-automatic weapons. "You saw the militia walking down the street, you would have thought they were an army," he said..."

I lied. I can still get upset.

*************

Those in power and the people who work for them are generally protective of the organizations and institutions they work for, as well as their own careers and their parochial political interests. So, you have to listen to what they say in that context.

At the very least, its safe to say they are NOT inclined to acknowledge hard facts and truthfulness when it runs counter to their own agendas and job security. To the contrary, they are highly likely to engage in distractions and “verbal distortions” to manipulate perceptions

It is always healthy to be skeptical. I think the Founding Fathers were a skeptical lot — for good reason. They had a fear of big government.
