CNN I'm sure will deny, isn't this what the President was talking about ?

Curious to hear what ya'll think of all the crazy stuff going on in Charlottesville. Sad stuff no doubt.

Charlottesville Protest: White Nationalist Rally Turns Violent : The Two-Way : NPR

"White Nationalists" are idiots.

Whoever decided that plowing a car through a crowd was a good idea is also an idiot.

[NoobCrawler]

Just saw about the car... both sides minority's are ruining it for everyone else. Granted, that's pretty much how it goes across the board. A few morons ruin it for the decent/good ones.

As for the reasoning this alt right group was there...I'm not sure where I sit. Attempting to publicly erase this nations history to appease the sissies of this country..and the way the elected officials are handling it is disrespectful. Like the New Orleans mayor removing the statue in the middle of night a few months ago.

Now, on the other hand, it is the losing side...so I can understand why it doesn't want to be remembered.

This "bubble wrapping" of the country is getting out of hand. Are we really going to change the name of everything that someone finds offensive? Is it, like what's happening now, only if it's offensive to blacks? Portland removed the word "lynch" from two schools...I mean, who cares that the Lynch family donated the land for the schools...the word "lynch" makes some people feel bad...wah. So, is Jane Lynch not allowed in Portland? Are no Merrill Lynch branches allowed to open there? How far are we going with the offendedness?

Nothing is being erased, it's being moved to a museum

It should be remembered, but it should not be revered.

[Duuuuuuuude]

As it turns out, the people injured/killed were there protesting the Nationalists. So, double idiot.

From what I read, the name of that park was renamed from Lee to Emancipation(that could've been another park though). Sounds like erasing to me.

Was the driver a white nationalist or a fellow counter protester? It would really make for a double idiot if the driver was there protesting the nationalists.

The car has been found (he drove off and ditched the car after plowing through the crowd), and the driver has been found. He hasn't been id'd yet.

I the sign pic would make more sense with this one too.

[Duuuuuuuude]

Fawking Nazis.

I've probably seen that movie a dozen times and always at my friends house that had a screwed up TV so the pinto was the brightest fluorescent orange imaginable. It actually looked fuzzy due to the brightness.

No comment on anything else but the guy filming yelling at the police "Where the F were you" is comical. You think Police are everywhere and in the shadows waiting for something to happen, you snap your fingers like a genie and Boom they appear.

"White Nationalists" are the extremists that are sick of the left extremists like BLM. They're all ****ing morons. People are absolute morons. Every story you see about Virginia has comments filled with comments indicating this is Trump's fault. Racism has been around since the dawn of the country, dumb asses.

Uh, no. "White Nationalist" is the PC term for "Nazi". Don't ever make excuses for them. Civilized society has worked hard to beat the extremist into the fringes where they belong.

But yes, they're morons.

In a way, it is Trumps fault. He has yet to disavow them, even though they look up to him as their idealogical messiah and often chant his name when they rally. Damn near every politician on either side of the isle has come out to condemn the WNs today, the glaring and major exception is Trump.

And before you go off on a "that's what the msm wants you to believe" rant, do like I did and lurk some nazi message boards. They love the guy. They're thrilled that he didn't come at them directly. They believe that he is on their side.

I was speaking about this incident, specifically. The reemergence of White Nationalists, IMO, is in response to the BLM. They see these racists pieces of shit from the other extreme get away with their rallies. The BLM got too much press and even, unbelievably, praise for their racism. White supremacists want the same.

Presidents don't often go around denouncing every single hate group. Trump has denounced hate numerous times. He also denounced the endorsement of David Duke and the KKK during his campaign. It's so convenient for people to forget that. Minorities that work for and with Trump have spoken out on his behalf. Saying Trump is even partially to blame for this is straight up ignorant and laughable.

Obama never denounced the BLM. He never denounced Muslim extremists. In fact, that jackass invited the BLM to the White House. Does that mean Obama is responsible for the emergence of black supremacist groups?
