Epidemic? Well if one were to believe the lying msm, yes. If one considers that there are 300+million people in the U.S. then, no. The lyin' msm is perpetuating the problem and helping to stir the hateful rhetoric. The way it's being portrayed currently is that if you're a Trump supporter, you approve of what happened yesterday. WRONG! I don't know of anyone who approves of it. Well maybe the rabid soros paid types. It helps prove their point.

Being a Jewish fella, I don't hold much brief for white supremacists and neo-Nazis.

What does being Jewish have to do with anything? I think it's fair to say that most Jews support the party, the demoniRAT party, that gave us white supremacists and neo-nazis.

This is the America Obama wanted. Divided and dysfunctional.

Thanks Obama.

No, but Trump doesn’t yet seem to understand owning and driving the right narrative and point out the truth...so far not being called a racist seems to be all he, ivanka, and the pubbies just want to assume we are all racists...I’d wager all pastors are picking this path, too.it is easier to not have to think.

I think the Unite The Right group on Facebook has about 3500 members. Of course, the MSM believes they’re all typical Trump voters.

No, I don’t think this is what is going on in the U.S., other than the average voter being assailed by loons from the fringes on both sides. What happened last night is what happens when you allow caravans of zealots sprinkled with thrill-seeking a-hats to come to your town and tear the place up.

Gosh, I wish the media had gotten this worked up over the horrible Berkeley violence. From what I can make out, only Tucker Carlson managed to get upset!

Failure of public safety is what’s going on.

The police and the city or university are at fault at these rallies for not keeping things under control and keeping opposite views separated. It should be safe for both Antifa and the Klan to demonstrate. if not, don’t issue a permit to the second applicant and arrest the side that has none. But letting people face off in the street and yell and throw things at each other is a formula for tragedy.

the city had an obligation to establish adequate safety when they issue a permit or know a large crowd is coming to the city. laving the street open and letting people throw things at each other and yell from opposite sides of a narrow street is not adequate safety and this and other incidents prove it. So the city IS responsible to prevent such incidents. Any rookie cop would know that people have been driving crowds into cars all over the world and here in the states.

None of the precludes a jury from finding the driver guilty. but the officials are also culpable and the DOJ or state AG should be all over that investigation . In Cal when coulter was scheduled,the chancellor of UC should have been sent to jail along with the campus police chief or the Berkeley chief for failure to protect the public and the property of the university and the first amendment rights of the group that invited her and of course Ann herself. But the governor of Cal was too busy raising taxes and hugging trees.

if these crimes and ministerial negligence were dealt with the incidents would decrease.

It’s an epidemic, started by the last president and his racist BS with the Black Lives Matter crap born from a lie and the social justice snowflake entitlement freak shows.

When that happens and it threatens folks then you entice the opposite side to fight back.

Erasing history just means it’s going to repeat itself.

Great must read tweet series. Charlottesville is being sued by ACLU for denying first and 14th amendment rights to Unite the Right. ALso subject to new DOJ civil rights violation investigation and more, links included.

Is Charlottesville What’s Really Going On in the USA?

Staged political confrontations? Yeah to some degree

As one who was around for the race and anti-war riots of the 1960’s, I am smart enough to know that such activities are not spontaneous. From life experience I know there are those always spoiling for a fight among the fringe groups on both sides of the political spectrum. Charlottesville was a staged but tragic theater, an effort to turn us all into something we are not.

It is a violent communists Democrats that are working hard to get back in control of America. There equivalent is the gestapo of early Germany. And they have the MSM helping to foster violence.

What’s going on?

We have a soft coup by person or persons unknown.

Step one, via the “educational system,” was to dumb down the population so that they not only wouldn’t mind losing their country, they’d like it (as long as the government checks kept arriving). This didn’t work as well as planned, since half the population was still smart / aware enough to elect someone who wants to make America great again instead of destroy it.

Step two is to corrupt every once-trusted institution. FBI. CIA. Supreme Court. Congress. Media. Law enforcement. No one left to turn to who will tell you that sky really ISN’T green and boys are boys even if they think they’re girls. Disrupt reality so much that they can mold it into anything they please.

Step three. Civil war. Clearly, SOMEONE wants it (probably MORE than one someone). What idiot decided to let two opposing groups who hate each other “protest” in Charlottesville at the same time? What did they THINK was going to happen? I like that the police chief who spoke at the press conference yesterday made such a point that the police didn’t hurt anybody. Well, la-de-da - it’s your job to stop citizens from hurting each other, TOO (something you utterly failed to do). By all accounts, the leftists were bused in. Who paid for that? Why aren’t THEY being arrested for inciting a riot? Or maybe that depends on our “justice” system... oops, that brings us back to step two...

Chaos, distrust and anarchy are openings for communism to take hold. BLM and Antifa are not some grassroots organic uprising. Follow the $$$$$, training and inspiration.

I recall this may have started as a protest against removing a statue of Robert E. Lee from a local park.

Leave the statues alone. Why provoke folks? Remember, if you’re offended by something then it’s because you CHOSE to be offended.
And, just because you’re offended doesn’t mean that you are right!!!
