Thank you for your report. I was very enlightening and validates a lot of what I suspected.

Does anyone know if the radical rioters had a permit to demonstrate?

Thanks for that You Tube segment. The commentator, ironically, brings up that police were nowhere in the vicinity. What I saw was a driver surrounded by a mob, hit the car in front of him, and surrounded by attackers, panicked.

I hope the driver gets a real good lawyer. I also suspect that sorting that out in the courts will get ugly.

What is a driver supposed to do when surrounded by a mob in the street, threatening direct violence? That question has never been answered. It was first asked during the BLM protests a few years ago. I can't see that anyone has the right to block traffic in the street, yet it was allowed back then.

Does the belief that the statue should stay automatically make a person “alt-right” or “white nationalist”?

Apparently.

Basically a re-run of the pre-election SAN JOSE, CALIF RALLY, in which Trump supporters exiting the permitted event were funneled into an ambush, with the overpaid SJPD (whose Chief regularly works with La Raza) studiously doing NOTHING to quell the violence.

There's this "Restrain the Right, let the Left run wild" LEO mentality.

They also started throwing things at the Unite the Right group.

I have read that this included frozen water bottles, soda cans filled with cement and balloons filled with urine. That sounds premeditated to me.

Great how the MSM, slimebag politicians and Fox News are placing all the blame on a group of whites who were there to protest the removal of the General Robert E Lee monument. It should be noted that General Lee is considered one of the greatest American generals. Yes some of the demonstrators (@$$holes) were KKK and some even waved Nazi flags. So all we hear is that the problem was all the fault of the "white supremacists". Yet there were many more anti demonstrators who were there to stop the demonstrators from voicing their free speech rights, these were communists, Black Lives Matter Groups and seditionist anti American socialists These groups were every bit as responsible for what occurred as the original demonstrators. The whites were there to voice an opinion, not to loot, destroy, rape of rob, yet the commie media and politicians blame the so called "white supremacist" for all the problems. Wake up folks.

Of course it was premeditated. Antifa was all over social media planning to “kill Nazis” for a week before the rally.

I totally agree with what you’ve just said, and there was also a brief report on FOX yesterday that there was a source that said the young man who drove the car might have just been scared. I’m suspecting a lot of us might have done the same thing under similar circumstances. It’s not unrealistic to argue the driver feared for his life and safety. As for the helicopter crash—tragic. Judge Janine even mentioned trying to blame it on the march organizers, and was advocating possible charges. Ridiculous. The violence was started from the left.

They did not have permits. Only the crowd protesting the removal of the statue.

This country is toast. Finished. Unity is impossible at this point. Too many people dont want unity and they are all on the left, and they large in numbers and have much power behind them.

‘Now the MSM need only connect Trump to the Nazis and the narrative is set.’

that ship has already sailed; and those who voted for Trump are being thrown into the brig along with him...

the obliteration of’wrong-thinking’ white men is full steam ahead...

Two cars were stopped in front of him by protestors blocking the intersection. He crashed into the back of the second car, which caused the first car to crash into protesters.
