Violence didn't "erupt". That's a damnable lie.

The permitted, court-ordered protesters were attacked by BLM and Antifa. And that was OK with the cops until one of the protesters had enough and flipped out.

The USDOJ needs to interview every cop in that dept and every state cop that was assigned there. They most certainly were ordered to be hands-off, IN SPITE of a Federal Judge's order.

"KKK," yeah right.

Meanwhile, the media won't even name Antifa, and just keeps calling them "counterprotesters."

when dozens of white nationalists, neo-Nazis and Ku Klux Klan members clashed with counterprotesters.
...
So the paid antifa soldiers and just counterprotesters...

Track their faces, identify them, ...

I saw a live leaks video today where the woman recording said that the cops left once Antifa started marching (shortly before the car incident). She continued recording till the cops came. It must have been 15 minutes. Unacceptable.

the whole thing was a setup,
Millie Weaver from Info wars did a ten minute video telling what happened. The police were ordered to stand down after appearing en masse in “riot gear” duhhhh... they knew what was about to happen they made it happen.!!
The cops refused to let the white nationalists take a safe route away from the park and made them go right through antifa/BLM goons with balloons full of feces,urine,chemicals paint and they had lots of pepper spray as well.
The cops knew exactly what they were doing and told Millie when she asked ‘why they didn't let them take the safe way out’?
“they can leave the way they came in”!!
In other words we didn't come dressed in riot gear for no reason let the games begin.
It was a setup.

The same city had an identical protest over the Lee Park the month before but there was a huge police presence there.

Some one purposely set this one up to explode this time like McAwful .

McAwful did this because of the upcoming VA Gov race .

as fists flew, bats swung and objects soared through the air.

Boy, they really had to phrase that carefully to avoid incriminating their preferred thugs, didn't they??

I am glad you posted this. I saw this earlier in the news.

This article interviews the former Cville Police Chief about how the police handled the protests on Saturday.

Joe Longo was highly respected here, and retired a year or so ago.

It is almost incomprehensible that all of the foot traffic from the counter protesters was allowed in the location where the homicide occurred.

This was really obvious to almost everyone...

For the most part, the cops just stood there off on the sidelines, looking professional.

Looked just like Berkeley, CA. where the cops did nothing.

“Why protect either one? “

Because one of the groups had a permit, and the city was under a Federal Court Order to allow them to demonstrate.

The Judge should hold the police chief and mayor in contempt, jailing them for 90 days.

Then the DOJ needs to consider charges against all city and state officials for denying civil rights under color of law. That would make all of them complicit in the murder of the lefty girl.

I would say culpable.

Charlottesville wanted further justification to remove Confederate Monuments. What better way to produce that than a full blown racial riot? Let two Socialist Hate factions into the same space and watch the fireworks!

This was a planned set up by the politicians.

Permitting the two opposing groups on the streets ate the same time?

What could possibly go wrong?

And we watched the police standing idly by in the midst of the violence.

Another political order to Stand Down?

Need to investigate the politicians and the orders that came down to the P.D.

the line up is:
Soros/McAwful/Mayor Michael Signer/Police Chief/antifa—BLM—victims.
Oh yeah then the unknown guy who pretended to be the 20 year old from Ohio in the look alike car who ran people donw and then was wisked away in a black suburban.

I thought this was a rally to protest the removal of some statues?

And then they didn’t have the rally?

And so people started throwing bags of pee at them?

And that’s OK?

Gosh, it seems like you could just attack anyone because they might say something you don’t like.

McCauliffe and mayor Signer should stand trial for the death of the two officers that crashed in the chopper.
