The story I’ve heard from one of the organizers is that they worked with the Charlottesville police for two months to obtain a permit for their demonstration. They got their permit but two weeks before the protest date, Charlottesville’s Mayor or Managing Director pulled their permit, denying them their assemble. They took the city to court and a FEDERAL judge reenstated the permit, allowing them to conduct their protest. On the day of the protest, the anti protest crowd had already assembled before the scheduled start of the protesting, blocking and harassing the protestors. The Charlottesville police were nowhere to be seen and the anti crowd started their violence. It is obvious the city and Governor did NOTHING to insure the exercise of free speech on behalf of the protestors and ALLOWED the violence and injuries to happen. This is what we have come to. If you are black, you will be given the “freedom to destroy” - Ferguson. If you are whiter, you have No rights.

The skin heads had a permit to assemble. Like it or not, the USA allows for the freedom of speech, no matter how ugly the speech is. The sorros funded people did not have a permit to lawfully assemble. The sorros people should have been arrested. the skin heads should have been protected.
why is it okay to say: black lives matter, but it’s hateful to say white lives matter? don’t all lives matter?
