Crass as it may seem, there are two sides here. Pick one.
This isn't a binary choice. When your options are between bad and worse then it doesn't take a lot of sense to decide that you prefer neither.
This thing was staged. Both sides with the same Tiki torches and the same store-bought signs.
The variouas levels of government are a 3rd party.
And the Media a fourth.
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

3 sides.
1. The alt-right.
2. The Antifa rioters.
3. The cops.
I side with the cops. The other groups were willing participants in a firestorm created and orchestrated for a violent racial confrontation. The cops? They were rendered powerless by orders from above.
I’d have turned a blind eye too.
There are 2 sides but they are not what you think they are.
There is the side that engages in identity politics and tribalism. That side will use the tools that are always employed by those who engage in identity politics and tribalism....violence, intimidation, ignoring the rule of law, vigilante justice based on group identification, collective responsibility, etc...
The other side is the one that believes in 1st world enlightened western values. This side will strive for the rule of law, blind justice, individual rights for all, property rights for all, individualism, personal responsibility, etc...
I know which side I choose.
