One of the key points is that Richard Spencer did *not* do what he is accused of. It was all simply false, made up.

The key here is the accusation by sufficient people on the left, is sufficient.

No facts need apply. No appeal. No law. No due process.

Agreed. It is punishment based on anti-1st Amendment standards, which the Left has adopted because they cannot legally get around the 1st Amendment.

Yet.

I watched the entire Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville on Periscope and the punk McAuliffe caused the incident. The confederate statue supports, who had a permit, were forced into the street (where Antifa was) by the state police when he declared a state of emergency. The failure to keep the two sides separated caused the problems.

The Leftist Compulsion For Uniformity is incredibly ugly. Indefensible in logic, it depends on various forms of organized thuggery. (And yes, major corporations can embrace organized thuggery, as this example makes obvious. Corporations require a legal purpose, and suppressing the free speech or publication rights of others is not a legal purpose.)
