I will not dispute your assertion that LEOs in Charlottesville dropped the ball in a major way. I don't know why and I won't assume anything nefarious - it could be they are just morons, or it could be that they are Nazi sympathizers, as there is credible evidence that white supremacists have infiltrated law enforcement across the country - the FBI asserted this years ago.Where do you get your alternative facts, Trump's tweets or Faux News?The counter protestors had a legal permit TOO! That is totally fucking irrelevant! NOBODY had a permit to MURDER and the only people who are under criminal indictment for murder and malicious assault are the Nazi in the Charger whose name I will not write, and some other Nazis who beat the fuck out of a black counter protestor.
Where are all the dead and seriously wounded Nazis?! Oh wait - there are NONE - because Antifa and other counter protestors are NOT the sick and violent fucks to blame for the stain on Charlottesville!
No, the counter protesters did NOT have a permit. Locals reported seeing four charter buses full of antifa-types arrive the day after the torchlit march. A state of emergency was declared before the unite the right guys had even assembled in the area around the statue and were ordered to disperse. Violence ensued as they made their way through the mob of leftist-types back to their cars. A prominent youtuber by the name of BakedAlaska was bear-maced in the eyes and might suffer permanent damage to his sight, so there goes your no wounded 'nazis' idea. And he wasn't the only one maced that day.
FACT CHECK: Counter-Demonstrators Didn't Have Permits in Charlottesville?
That's the first I've heard about it although I do remember someone saying the two groups were supposed to be kept separate. I don't watch fox news, I'm not a neoconservative. None of the reporters or anchors there don't want anything to do with the alt-right and parrot basically the same narrative as CNN; calling them white supremacists and neo-nazis. The alt-right might have it's fair share of assholes, trouble makers and bigoted haters but it's explicitly a non-violent pro-white group akin to BLM but for white people. Snopes inaccurately labels them so their reporting is biased and can't be trusted,
I get my information from the many videos posted by independent journalists online, and I've been looking at them all very closely since it happened.
Boston's handling of the Free Speech Rally/Counterprotest was a textbook example of how such events SHOULD be handled, and I don't see why C'ville couldn't have done the same - had they been willing.
