sigmonkeySerious violence in Virginia: at least one dead
I have no love for White Supremacists and a vitriolic loathing for "any"-Nazi.
That said, much like "every rifle" is an "AK-47" or "Assault Rifle", if you are not a person of color, then you are, in the eyes of the GDC, a "White Supremacist Nazi".
It matters not who or what happened in VA this weekend, they have cast the lot.
This is just another symptom of a greater disease.

This one might end my use of social media. I'm about one more snowflake's "I'm ashamed of being white" story away from permanently nuking my FB.

I hit that point
way early this morning. I've been erasing nearly all my Facebook footprint I can, since then. (Not continuously. Mostly using automation while I've been doing other things.)
I'm going to go on a Facebook hiatus. When that's over, I'm going to cull my "friends" list quite aggressively. All that'll be left will be family and IRL friends. Any of those that posts too much political BS, from
any perspective, will get unfollowed.
In in the interim, while I've been waiting for the automation to do its thing (takes repeated runs), I went though and unfollowed everybody who was posting a lot of political crap. Then looked in amazement at how much more pleasant was my Facebook feed.

You must have a decent selection of people on your friends list. I got the fucked off Facebook around Inauguration Day. I couldn't take it. I wanted to, and effectively have, shit-canned a big swathe of my "friends." I have re-installed the app on my phone once, just a few weeks ago for a few days because a coworker was doing something on there and wanted me on. I made the mistake of going through my "feed" and wrote off more people.

KevinCWGood lord....
What an epic parade of morons, and I mean groups of morons on both "sides."
First off, I believe in freedom, freedom of speech, and even if the speech is abhorrent, this country allows it...
After all, without free speech, how we would we know who the assholes are? Seriously, think about that for a second... If an individual is allowed to spout off whatever bullshit he thinks, he does us all a favor in that we know who to be/not be friends with, and what a person's true colors are.
Beyond that... Both sides here showed up with the intention of getting into an altercation. No reasonable person can deny that.
Fuck all of them.
I think the entire movement to erase history by taking down statues, rename parks is a massive non sequitur and a distraction from any real issue. I've always taken the position, that even if history isn't flattering, it should NEVER be erased, if for no other reason so to not forget it and repeat the same mistakes. Whether we like it or not, it happened, and there is no way to change it, unless someone has invented a time machine and we don't know it yet.
On the one side, we have seen the supposed "tolerant left" show their intolerance over the past 3 years. From tearing up the campus and downtown area of Berkley when a speaker they didn't agree with was invited, to showing up in masks with frozen water bottles, fireworks, improvised explosives, and ready made weapons with the intent of starting violence. If you didn't intend on violence, why in the hell would you bring that type of thing to a "protest?" Yet that side claims the supposed "moral high ground" by stating they are "protesting" against fascism. Bullshit. You're rabble rousing and actively searching for an excuse to riot.
Now the other side, the robe wearing klansmen, or neo-nazi dolts (and there were some of these fucks there, look at the damn pictures)... Fuck those guys too. Judging people based upon race/religion/orientation, or really anything OTHER than your behavior as a person... is simply foolish... There was a time, when assholes like this showed up and everyone ignored them. WHen they didn't get any attention they faded off into obscurity again. Giving these idiots attention makes them stronger. The foolish "antifa" side is actually making the foolish (whatever you want to call these assholes, the actual Nazi's were socialists so politically would be far left too, but with an emphasis on race/religion/ethnicity) idiots more powerful. If it weren't for the news media covering these violent conflicts, no one would give the time of day and they would be regulated to the dustbin of history. The rest of us logical, non asshole, Americans would dismiss them as fools and they'd crawl back into whatever hole they came from.
But no, attention seeking whores on both sides have to get their 15 minutes.
Not a single one of these fools represent mainstream America. In fact, the best possible outcome would be them all to kill each other. If it were up to me, we'd fence off a 3 mile square area and let them all kill each other. The real winner would be the USA.
I'm sick of a small fraction of the population with the most extreme, idiotic views, getting so much attention regardless of the "side."
The real victims here are the poor officers who had to deal with this shitshow. THere is a pic i would post if i could, of a black officer with a priceless expression on his face. Similar pics have been posted about similar instances. That man there is the real victim. I know exactly how he feels, because I have been in his shoes.
I'm certain he is thinking "There are about 10,000 things I'd rather be doing right now as opposed to this bullshit." Hell, if it is like my experience, it is probably his day off that he got forced to work and he REALLY would rather be enjoying that day off doing ANYTHING else. I know I would have...
I know from experience that that man has a family he would much rather be spending time with, or his hobbies he would rather invest his time in. I know because I have had the same goddamn thoughts while doing the same goddamn thing.
THIS country is supposed to be better than this. The entire foundation of this Democratic Republic is that we DON'T have to fight out battles, but with reason and discussion, be able to compromise. But there are elements of extreme positions that have decided that isn't an option, and that in and of itself is fucking un-American.
The best thing the huge majority of us who think this is bullshit can do, it cast these fools out.
Just irritating... on so many levels.

I bet this is exactly what this officer wants to be doing today.
This is the pic I was referring to.
I know that expression on his face, because I have worn that expression.
This guy is right now thinking of the millions of things he would rather be doing as opposed to standing between two groups of assholes.
But he does his job, same as all of us, because that's what he signed up for.
Pretty much EVERYONE there who showed up on their own free will, OUGHT to be ashamed of themselves... but they will all be too busy trying to claim teh moral high ground... When there is none to be had.

No, seriously, I stopped even looking at facebook months ago. Why? Because I got tired of all the BS and literally hundreds of "friend requests" from people I never heard of every time I signed in.

Did not watch it! Do not need to watch that witch spout her bullshit!
My conclusion as to the "cause" of all this BS is simple. Ask virtually any of these "demonstrators" questions about the history of this country, or why the constitution was written the way it was.
They have no fucking clue!!!!!!!!!
How did this shit get started? Simple, those who would destroy this country took control of our schools, decades ago, and have slowly taken over our schools, including many/most of the so-called universities.
When I was studying at univ. of MD back in the mid 1970s, it was starting to become evident that a fair percentage of the classes offered were not to educate, rather to indoctrinate.
Perhaps my "good luck" at the college stemmed from the fact that I had already served 11 years of active army with 9 of those years sitting on the E/W German border.
Not to mention those assholes at Charlottesville many of whom, IMO, were paid by the likes of Soros & CO to do exactly as they did.

So true. the death was tragic. Brought on but both sides. Now as more details emerge, was the driver's vehicle attacked causing panic? you can bet that will be one defense. From what I've seen, he didn't directly hit those people but struck another vehicle stooped by them or parked.
The anti protesters came with the intention of violence. Seems only the blind didn't see that. Now I see some media sites claim three deaths adding the two officers in the chopper crash. Indirectly involved, it had no connection to the mobs.
I've watched some idiot polit9icians call for separate govt. political groups be formed and some colleges being forced to create separate "safe" facilities. Yet they bitch about those loons claiming they want a white separation?
Idiots all around. Yet the liberals just can't seem to separate free speech from those hate groups. Did they make the same demands when BLM marched shouting death to law enforcement and whites? No. the fact they really don't represent a large majority of the people gets lost. Yet the liberals think the fringe groups represent ever white of Trump voter. they REALLY are that stupid.
Lastly, lost this weekend was the norm in Chicago.
10 killed, 34 wounded. yet that's of no concern?
August 14, 2017, 08:35 AM
MitchbSCReading the news this morning, looks like the crowd controls and march permits were entirely mishandled. It's like Mayor Smirk and Gov McAwful wanted a body count by running the groups into each other. They got the body count. I hope Sessions calls them out on it as part of the investigation.
The kid gloves shit for Antifa has to stop. But of course, the Dims don't want to stop the flow of Soros money.

vanderbilt professor carol swain white nationalism
Political scientist Carol Swain says white nationalism rose long before Trump became president. (Image: BPR screengrab)
Liberals are blaming President Trump for the rise of white nationalism, but a black professor says the movement started mushrooming 15 years before Trump became president.
Attorney and political scientist Dr. Carol Swain of Vanderbilt University predicted the rise of white nationalism in her 2002 book, “The New White Nationalism in America.”
“The rise of the new white nationalism occurred long before the election of President Donald Trump,” Swain told Fox News anchor Judge Jeanine Pirro.
Dr. Swain underscored that white nationalism is different from the racist white supremacy movement, even though the left-wing media and liberals purposely conflate the two.
“I distinguish it from white supremacy because the people who were involved [in the white nationalism movement] were more intellectual,” said Swain, a graduate of Yale Law School. “They were not espousing racial violence or using epithets, but they had grievances. They felt that white people’s rights were being trampled on and no one was speaking up or listening to their grievances.”
Swain said the white nationalism movement took off — long before Trump took office — because whites were being marginalized and disenfranchised after decades of affirmative action and other government programs designed to benefit minorities.
Leftist media attack decorated Army vet as a racist for defending Trump’s call to end ALL violence
Adding to the disgruntlement is the constant browbeating by academia and the media — which are 97% liberal — calling ALL white people racist and claiming they have no right to complain about anything because they have “white privilege.” Look around you: There are plenty of poor, underprivileged whites.
White nationalism is becoming heightened since whites will soon no longer be the majority race in the United States. It makes you wonder: Once whites become minorities, will society allow them to whine and demand preferential treatment?
Dr. Swain said she first started noticing the growing white nationalism movement in 2000, and published her book about it in 2002.
“At the time, when [whites] were stressing about the racial double standards, I saw the potential for the argument to resonate among young people,” she recalled. “The white community has its own problems. I knew the movement would grow unless we started addressing the issues.”
Swain said we all collectively need to tone down the racial identity politics and racist rhetoric and work together to improve race relations. “We need honest conversations, dialogue where people are listening to one another,” she said.

This will fall on deaf ears among the leftists and dominant media. It was widely pointed-out that was one of the big reasons Trump won. Even NPR covered it, extensively, at the time.
And still the race-baiters, with help from the dominant media, keep beating the drum that gave rise to the counter-movement.
Now they're going to try to use Charlottesville to discredit the growing tide of white nationalism. I suspect that, just like their attempts to use every abuse of firearms to demonize law-abiding gun owners and the RKBA, those attempts will fail spectacularly.

Instead, they want to revise our history to suit the GDC socialist narrative they want to drive.
Every time they revise a textbook or more visibly when they tear down a civil war statue, they make it worse.

Yes, make no mistake, the commies use race as the bait for violence. Violence is the only way they can win because their desire is the end of individual liberty, everything in the state, nothing outside of the state. They won't win at the ballot box so they seek to impose a police state by force through a "reasonable response" to the violence they foment.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
