Most of the clips I saw showed non-cops with shields and sticks hitting non-cops with shields and sticks. Both sides came looking for a fight, and they found it.

Hmmm. Musta been them evil kkk/neo-nazi, Trump lovin’ bible totin’, gun carryin’ neanderthals who’re totally intolerant. On the serious side, will we ever get an honest answer to that question? Doubtful since the LEOs were on the side streets for most of the events from what I’ve read this morning.

Democrat Governor, Terry MaCauliffe and his Charlottesville Democrat Scum & Vermin. Murderers...all. End of story.

Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer said he was disgusted that the white nationalists had come to his town and blamed Trump for inflaming racial prejudices.

“I’m not going to make any bones about it. I place the blame for a lot of what you’re seeing in American today right at the doorstep of the White House and the people around the president,” he said.

Charlottesville, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is a liberal-leaning city that’s home to the flagship University of Virginia and Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson.

The statue’s removal is part of a broader city effort to change the way Charlottesville’s history of race is told in public spaces. The city has also renamed Lee Park, where the statue stands, and Jackson Park, named for Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. They’re now called Emancipation Park and Justice Park, respectively.
