ORIGINAL: Nnanji One is attacking people who don't attack; the other is attacking people exercising the right of controversial free speech. Did the white supremacist groups attack first in Charlottesville? I honestly don't know the answer to that. I've seen claims both ways, making it all the more difficult. The rightest scheduled their rally, then the leftist showed up to break up the rally. Intifa and company were there to create violence as MM said when they are opposing the Klan it is ok to commit violence. I will repeat that both are scum. You may say they are both scum, Bama, but you are clearly implying that the blame for the violence lies with the left here. The counter protesters had a permit too. They had just as much right to be there. The violence happened in common areas. Evidence has come out that members of supremacist groups participated in chatrooms prior to the protest, exchanging tips on making weapons that were more effective in causing harm, and instigating violence at Charlottesville, including discussions of running over protesters with vehicles. Video has emerged off at least one white supremacist discharging his gun during the protest. I am as disgusted by antifa violence as anyone. But the facts simply don't support your implication. At least not at Charlottesville. yes for different sides of the park, since what you said does not match what I read I'd like to see who said it happened in the neutral zone. Technically, it was two separate parks, RO. The violence happened in the streets outside the park the white supremacists had a permit for. The State declared it an illegal assembly and forced everyone to leave. The counter-protesters weren't in their own permitted space, but the streets are public, so all in attendance (to either demonstration) were fully allowed to be there.
