After the violence in his city, the mayor of Charlottesville, VA, Michael Signer, said President Trump bears blame for the violence. FALSE! Trump has no blame at all. But the mayor himself sure does. His police did nothing when scores of counter-protestors (ones who oppose the Robt E Lee statue) BLOCKED THE STREET, where protestors (who support the statue) were marching.
These counter-protestors should have been arrested immediately. The blame is with the counter-protestors for blocking the march, and the mayor who should have had the cops take swift action.
Sure, there were Nazi flags. So what ? Even if we oppose that, and detest it. The protestors (most of whom had no flag) still have the right to march, protest, and exercise free speech. A few protestors may have waved Nazi flags, but it is the counter-protestors who PERPETRATED FACISM, by blocking the street, trying to stifle the protest, and stop it.
It is also facism by the mayor who allowed this, and who is complicit in causing the violence. If he would have had the cops do their job, and arrest the traffic/parade blockers, there would have been no car killing, or any other violence. Somebody ought to be arresting this damn fool mayor right now.
As for President Trump, and the moron leftists ragging at him, yes, I disagree with his first comment a few days ago too. He said “all sides” need to be civil. True, but, in addition to the car killer, he should have condemned the moronic and violent counter-protestors, who caused one of their own to get killed,. Trump’s first remarks weren’t strong enough. He should have condemned the mayor for having the police stand down, and then putting the police chief out in front of the media, to take the blame, while he cowardly hid in his mayors office, behind closed doors. Common sense that there would be violence, from allowing this to occur as he did.
