Fields was captured quickly by the police but witnesses suggested that was about the only thing the police did well.

The cops did exactly what their liberal Mayor, city council and governor wanted them to do.

Nothing, and they excelled at that.

It was yet another organized, leftist Antifa, BLM, Soros riot, made for pre-arranged corporate media headlines - just like Ferguson, Oakland, Berkeley, etc...

“About 15 minutes after the car attack, Smith asked (Lorenz) to stop filming without offering an explanation why. He shouted, “Stop the f—king recording!” She continued filming and he punched her in the face, knocking the recording device out of her hand and onto the ground.”

He did ask her politely, by Antifa standards that is.

Conservatives are getting their a$$ kicked by the media and public at large.

conservative = nazi

Every conservative is now linked unfairly to these wackadoo Nazi wanna bes.

Every conservative is now a white nationalist.

It’s a public relations disaster for conservatives IMHO. We need a better message to counter the lies, and McCarthyism.

All this s$%^storm started under barack hussein obama. This is what he left us.

I hope he doesn’t have a good life or prosper. He is an enemy to this nation. He can rot.

Race relations were 10x better before that POS took office. He left us with $11 trillion more in debt and nothing to show for it.

All the democrats create is divisiveness and problems.

The fake news is sponsoring, uh reporting on local "vigils" popping up in every small town to "support" the stand against "hate, bigotry, and ignorance" or whatever.

Every conservative is a racist was no longer working. Same message different words.

Soon “white nationalist” will lose it sting same as homophobic or racist.

The left is attempting to isolate conservative Americans, this really only works where the left already control everything.

The pendulum is swinging back and the left are desperate.

I keep hearing about Nazis and KKK, but how many of them were there at this rally? My bet, very very few.

All the constant name calling of the rally participants is just virtue signaling, something that most of us ridicule when it’s done by those on the left.

Those on the right always complain that we can’t turnout more than a few hundred at most at rallies. Is it any wonder when we can’t, it’s because almost everyone knows that those on the right will start virtue signaling at the drop of a hat, by denouncing and apologizing for anything anyone says or does at the rally, and then move on from there to condemning the entire rally. We on the right are pathetic, and that is why we have lost almost the entire country and culture to the vastly more aggressive left that NEVER apologizes, never disavows, anyone on their side no matter how extreme.

The press is trying very hard to conflate Virginia with Trump. They are trying to say that Trump, who said that he “condemned in the strongest terms the violence and hatred in Charlottesville”, could have found a term stronger than strongest. Like maybe super-strongester.

The statements by the Merk President were not against NAZIs or the Clan or the driver of the ramming car. They were against Trump. Which was intended to conflate the NAZIs with Trump. He was not against racism, he was for associating Trump with racism.

We need to identify that and fight it. Make sure that everyone knows that the dems are making their push here and now. This is their strategy, associate Trump with racism and then fight anyone who is for Trump as a racist.

Poor author trying a little too hard to be even handed. His suggestion that it is wrong for government to use force to achieve it’s political goals is just silly. That is pretty much the definition of government, if you ask me, which is why government is the only legitimate application of force.

Read Altura’s firsthand AAR. He says he estimated less than 3% of the attendees actually had any Nazi flags and he saw no armbands. Of course, truth is always the first casualty in war.

Buckle up and tie your shoelaces because there is another Antifa event in Boston next week. I expect there will be an escalation of violence there. Ride is gonna get bumpy for a while. I expect the BSM will become even more hyperbolic there. If that is even possible.

Antifa members sprayed Silly String on police before charging them in 'Seattle' protest ...they were angry because police 'stopped them'. Police used pepper spray on the antif group to stop them from approaching a ProTrump Event.

They intend to use this event as a catalyst to remove all Confederate monuments.
When they are done with that they will move on to some other aspect of American history.
Anyone resisting the erasure of history will be tarred as a racist white supremacist.
Everyone who is not behind Antifa, BLM and the rest must be racists, bigots, sexists, homophobes, Islamophobes, etc.
No defense of American history, values, culture or way of life will be tolerated.

Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama would never have been given the oath of office if ANYONE in EITHER party honored the Constitution. BOTH parties colluded to violate the Constitution.

Barack Hussein Obama told us his foreign national father made him a British subject at birth.

He is NOT a natural born citizen.

It was a false flag. No actual right wingers would use language like was used in Charlottesville. This was leftists behaving the way they “think” people on the right act. Come on, really? 30 or 40 people show up to protest the removal of a statue of one of America’s greatest generals and 1000 “antifa” anarchists magically show up? Not buying it. Not listening to self flagellating white talking heads condemn every aspect of being white while excusing the poor victims in BLM or ‘anti-faschist’ or whatever leftist clap trap BS du jour. Sorry media, that ship has sailed. You own this, and when the shooting starts many of you are going to have second thoughts...brielfly.
