Quote (Washington Post)

Susie McClannahan, 24, said counterprotesters were marching on Fourth Street when she saw a “silver gray vehicle” drive through the crowd, and then immediately shift into reverse in what she described as full speed.

“Everyone was in shock and all of a sudden we heard people scream get to the wall because the driver was backing up,” McClannahan said. She said those closest to the accident ran to those injured in the street.

Quote (CNN)

Saturday's rally was the latest event drawing white nationalists and right-wing activists from across the country to this Democratic-voting college town -- a development precipitated by the city's decision to remove symbols of its Confederate past.


Quote (CNN)

President Donald Trump tweeted: "We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!"


So a group of white nationalists, KKK, and neo Nazis descend upon a left-leaning town to "protest" a democratically decided decision of said town to remove Confederate monuments. They then drive a car through a crowd of counter-protesters, an act which is condemned by right-wing leader, President Donald Trump.

Traitors and anti-Americans, the lot of them. Antifa should have been given permission to open fire on these fascists like the scum they are. The police, it seems, are at least being competent in all of this by going after those Hitler worshipping little shits.

In this case, the lesser evil argument doesn't make sense.

Good thing I wasn't making that argument, then. The only thing the counter-protesters did wrong was not outright killing these klansmen trying to overturn, by force, a town's democratic decision to remove some statues.

What a bunch of fucking pussies, with their pretend fighting. If they believed in what they are fighting for they would fight to kill.
Also does Virginia have one of those new laws where if rioters are attacking you, you are justified in running them over?



Calm down there keyboard warrior.

This could be a microcosm of what's to come.


Seen the video a little bit ago on Facebook. Shook me to the core.

It's one thing to have different beliefs and have protests (peaceful, ideally), it's an entirely different story to plow a vehicle into people doing so

They have a right to protest taking down the statue.
