FOX News reporter Doug McKelway attended the violent protests Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia.
McKelway told FOX News viewers the police pulled out of Lee Park after the violence started. The police told him, “We’re leaving. It’s too dangerous.”
Doug McKelway: We are now beginning to hear criticism bubble up on all sides of this event about the initial slow response by the police. When I got out of my car yesterday in Charlottesville about 10:30 in the morning you knew this was a bad scene and bad things were going to be happening because people were congregating at Lee Park and Emancipation Park wearing helmets, body armor, carrying big heavy sticks. Nobody was intent on peace here from either side. People were intent on causing havoc and causing damage. And even as wounded were being brought out of the park police were sitting idly by. I was standing off a cordoned off area where the police had set up as a staging area, the state police, and they said you can come in here this is a safe area. But when the tear gas started to fly, thrown by protesters, the police themselves began to evacuate then. I asked the guy who was in charge, “Where you going?” He said, “We’re leaving. It’s too dangerous.” They had a chance to nip this thing in the bud and they chose not to.

Even Finland is gone.

Please post the evidence you’ve seen of the presence of neonazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville. I’ve been searching for it but so far have come up empty.
If the choice is between the KKK and Antifa I pick a sniper’s perch where I can get good shots at both of them. lol
” Is it true that the 20 year old kid who’s being accused of intentionally driving into a crowd of protesters actually had the vehicle he was driving surrounded by a mob and was threatened by them drove off in an attempt to escape harm?”
In a word, No.
There’s video of his car on what looks to be a mostly empty street. There was no mob paying any attention to him much less surrounding him. The crowd is a long way in front of him moving in the same direction that he is headed. He accelerates for a block or so before he plows into them.
If I haven't been clear on my position by now then I guess you'll never understand.
Read the article from earlier in the day. It was educational. About why “right wing activism fails”. The reason is that activism by the group not in power is doomed. IIRC correctly our side won a recent election yet the libtards use the streets to take a Victory Lap. If you can’t grasp the importance of Trump making the streets safe for the folks who voted for him you need to read some more history. When the HIllary supporters are free to abuse Trump voters with violence then what’s the point? We won the election, we have the Congress yet the corrupt Libtards politicians are not to held to account and their Brown Shirts commit violence against the folks who voted for Trump with impunity. Get off your BarcaLounger and get with it.
“We’re leaving. It’s too dangerous.”
If that can be proven, it dovetails with Chicago Mayor Richard Daley’s famous malapropism:
“The police are not here to _create_ disorder. The police are here to _preserve_ disorder!”
It’s possible that if they did their jobs that woman might not have been killed.
Oh, I understand your position all to well. It was one I held until yesterday.

I was beginning to think I was the only one who saw that video.
This video completely contradicts what you just posted:
He is driving in slow speed, somebody hits the side of his car with a baseball bat and he apparently panics and plows into the crowd in front of him.
Yeah that video is a killer for any claim that he was scared or surrounded or attacked.
He was on an almost empty street. I think he must have had two blocks clear ahead of him when he put his foot on the gas.
“Think of this. How did CNN get to the point where the top 100 positions were 90% Jews? “
Oh boy, here comes the Jew conspiracy tards.
Is this part of the Daily Stormer’s “Jewish Question” section?
According to Wiki, Charlottesville has a population of 48,000.
This means it likely has about 50-75 cops (errrr....bodies with a badge and gun).
In a college town, it’s guaranteed that a large percentage on those cops are women, gays, trannies, overweight folks, 95lb women, whatever.....affirmative action at it’s peak!
It’s also guaranteed that their (the cops) boss is some wet pants liberal and his boss, McAuliffe, is, like his best friend Obama, a communist.
So, maybe the cops had half their troops that would/could FIGHT because make no mistake that is what this was...........one big FIGHT.
McAuliffe, the Mayor, the Police Chief and their Union master, ALL DEMS, just were not going to play Alamo that day!
So, PC killed that young girl just as sure as the sun will set tonight.
Now, “The Left”, taking their cue from the Democrats “the Russian’s did it” cover up are screaming that “it’s the white guys fault” when all the facts seem to be pointing the opposite way and in particular to a cowardly police force.
When that cop told the reporter “we are outta here because it’s too dangerous”................no shit! 1,000 people fighting with all kinds of weapons including cars IS DANGEROUS! When a town allows it’s police force to deteriorate to whimp status.................Hiding and running is what happens. It’s nothing NEW.
Well maybe you have been looking in the wrong placed. Here is a Nazi flyer The organizer's website altright.com is advertising the speakers: Mike Enoch who is a self-described white supremacist blogger and Christopher Cantwell who is another self-described white supremacist.
They are trying to play a zero-sum game.
Either you become one of Richard Spencer’s boyfriends, or else you MUST be on ANTIFA’s payroll.
Nothing but peer-pressure recruitment.
President Trump and team, it is time to call out the Left by name and Soros and Obama BY NAME!!!
You are letting them control the narrative by not digging and throwing BIG LIGHTS on the tactics...fine, call some of the protesters racists, but giving the Left a free pass still gives the media and Soros and Obama the upper hand.
We are your supporters and we have your back. We are pleading with you to shout the truth.
The truth is in the threads on this blog. Surely your team’s are savvy enough to go after Soros...if not now, when???
A "patriotic American" would say that even a Nazi has the right to free speech and assembly in the USA, and the right to protection if other forces try to stop them. Just because their speech happens to be unpalatable doesn't mean they lose their rights.
I think you have the Cville PD wrong.
The University has a separate force.
None of the Cville PD cops I have encountered look like what you have described. This is Central Virginia after all.
My guess is that a lot of the police officers don’t even live in the city.
Charlottesville is deeply blue. It is surrounded by Albemarle County, which is blue—but only recently.
The rest of Central Virginia is deep red.
