Virginia Secretary of Public Safety Confirms Gov. McAuliffe ‘Made the Decision…to Shut Things Down’

Virginia Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security Brian Moran told Richmond talk radio host Jeff Katz on Monday that Governor Terry McAuliffe “made the decision . . . to shut things down” at Emancipation Park in Charlottesville...August 12.

Appearing on Katz’s 1140 AM WRVA radio program, Moran explained the rapidly moving sequence of events that began at 11:22 a.m. when he phoned Governor McAuliffe from the City of Charlottesville Command Center located on the sixth floor of the Wells Fargo building in downtown Charlottesville, just a few blocks from Emancipation Park.

“In light of the escalating violence we had to shut things down,” Moran told Katz (beginning at the 4:15 mark in the audio recording of the interview).

“At about 11:22 I called the governor and he immediately made the decision yes, go ahead, and of course, in consultation with the Virginia State Police, Colonel Flaherty, we put in the appropriate place to clear the park and clear the streets,” Moran said.

Katz was able to confirm Moran’s statement the following day, Tuesday, when he interviewed Virginia State Police Superintendent Stephen Flaherty, who said that both he and Charlottesville City Manager Maurice Jones were with Secretary Moran at the Wells Fargo building command center that morning.

“The [Charlottesville] City Manager was in the command post with us [on the 6th Floor of the Wells Fargo building downtown Charlottesville],” Flaherty told Katz. But seconds later in that interview, Flaherty let slip what critics of the police response to the Emancipation Park rally and related brawls between two opposing groups have been saying since the event occured.

“We felt early on we would probably have to declare an unlawful assembly,” Flaherty said.

An eyewitness account described the events that morning that Secretary Moran told Katz comprised “the escalating violence.”

Read the whole article. It's long, but there are a lot of things in it that seem highly irregular beyond the violence and bloodshed. Why did the police stand down and retreat to the other side of the park and just allow the brawl to ensue? Why did the religious leaders stand back and watch?

[Da Coyote]

Obviously.

McCauliff is the very definition of slime.
Ill educated slime.
Low ability slime.
Clinton level slime.
In other words, progressive slime.
But then again, progressive slime is a redundency.

[RckyRaCoCo]

A coordinated event all along.

Until somebody got killed.

Then the coverup/spin began.

[edzo4]

So the former head of the DNC, head of the bill Clinton 96 and Hillary 08 campaigns and probable candidate for 2020 allowed it to happen, all the pieces are starting to fit.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Soros paid for this passion play in Charlottesville and Clinton’s Bag Man directed it.

They want to make it impossible for anyone to defend America.

Arrest and Prosecute McAuliffe for MURDER under the Felony Murder rule and all this will come out at Trial.

Maybe I am missing something, please Help:

The white guys had a Permit to Protest and Rally, all legal like. Correct??

The ANTIFA Brownshirts showed up Without a Permit and began to Protest ILLEGALLY. Correct??

The Police Department REFUSED to Enforce the Law against the ANTIFA Brownshirts for TRESPASSING, Disturbing the Peace, and Holding an Illegal Protest. Correct??

The Police Department willfully and knowingly steered the ANTIFA Brownshirts into the same area as the White Guys. Correct??

I believe I am correct on all 4 points.

WHY HASN’T THE US ATTORNEY ARRESTED AND CHARGED THE POLICE CHIEF AND ALL OFFICERS THERE WITH MURDER,Maybe even the Mayor and Governor if it can be shown they took part in this, under the Felony Murder Rule??

Sorry Mr Police Officer, but “Just Following Orders” doesn’t cut it when to do so costs innocent lives to be taken.

THEY SET THIS UP just as if they Conspired to commit the MURDER themselves and they all belong in PRISON FOR LIFE!!!

And people wonder why I would never trust or believe anything a Government Employee EVER SAYS.

quacks, waddles, webbed feet- criminal conspiracy duck

By the way, Seth Rich was unavailable for comment.

[snarkytart]

Federal investigation should be launched against this leftist crook and Clinton buffoon.

[crosdaddy]

One minor correction, I believe the “alt right” were forced to walk into the antifa crowds by the VSP. They were not allowed to go any where else, but into the grinder pit of antifa.

[Arm_Bears]

The two Virginia State Troopers who perished in the inexplicable helicopter crash have been completely swept under the rug.

Wonder why.

[ETL]

"In light of the escalating violence we had to shut things down,"

Shut what things down, policing, security?

[kaehurowing]

So the governor violated the federal court order?

[Darksheare]

Funny, what violence other than Antifa violence existed prior to the stand down order?

[exit82]

And who was causing the “escalating” violence?

[Menehune56]

But, don't you understand, the white guys were all NAZIS!! They weren't entitled to freedom of speech!!

/sarc

[snarkytart]

Gavin McGinnis was at a freedom of speech rally at Berkeley and he said the police did the same damn thing.
They told the rally attendees to get inside a roped in area then ANTIFA and BLM surrounded the area and police left them circled by the violent mob.

Thank goodness they had an equal amount of people there and they fought back and ANTIFA and BLM eventually retreated.

Best and most concise outline of events as I know them. Sadly, no one will be arrested or charged with anything. And if that turns out to be true, Sessions needs to be impeached.

[snarkytart]

None.

Charlottesville Was Inside Job to Ignite Race War:
http://yournewswire.com/charlottesville-inside-job/

“We [Charlotesville police] were ordered to bring the rival groups together. As soon as they were in contact with each other, we were told to stand down. It was outrageous. We weren’t allowed to arrest anyone without asking the mayor first. We weren’t even allowed to stop the driver as he sped away.“

“The event was being set up as far back as at least May and it went like clockwork.”

Thanks, toldyou & H/T WildHighlander57;Whenifhow

Apparently violence is perfectly fine against peaceful marchers if they’re bad people.
