Odd no one mentions the photo of armed guardsmen escorting these fellas through the Anti fascist mob because of opinions, no matter how repugnant these opinion are.

Hal 9000 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Just now, Boges said: True. They're useless losers. But in this case the POTUS actively defends them. So that's a reason for concern. He doesn't defend them. Saying they were not the only ones involved in violence is not defending the WN's. He might be trying to defend their 1st amendment rights, because they still do have rights. You guys are going ballistic because you want him to side with mob justice and he can't - and he shouldn't. Just because Obama jumped onto a side, doesn't make it right. He's condemned the violence, knows there's a problem and should work to fix it, he shouldn't be willfully fuelling the fire of vigilantism or of hate. That was the last president.

dialamah Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Here is a story that won't make international news. Group of 20 counter-protesters attacked by 100s of the alt-right, beat with tiki torches and doused with fluid. One of the group has a neck artery damaged and two days later suffers a stroke. Gofundme here for his medical costs. Edited August 16, 2017 by dialamah Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they do have that right. And people have the right to counter their protest and not get run over by people in cars that can't handle people questioning their worldviews. Only certain types of folks actually show-up to street protests. I'm not one of them. Protests are one thing...running street battles are another. The first is alright...the second...not so much.

A large group of people didn't show up and damage a monument. A decision was taken by the city and was challenged in the court, but the court sided with the city. The statue was being removed legally. The racists used this to advertise theor presence and agenda. David Duke is on your side; are you proud?

I am not moving goalposts, this is my point: you can't fault the core philosophy for misappropriation of the ideas. Christianity is a good idea, despite deviant priests, residential schools etc. Say whaaat? Since when is anything based on supernatural deities and talking snakes a good idea? Communism has zero core benefits that are commendable except for disdain of the church....opiate for the masses Altruism is a soul crusher. Zero personal property is a death knell. State run industry, Blind allegiance to the state enforced. What could go wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is a fact that someone was murdered, no one defends the POS that did that, however it doesn't change the other facts. It doesn't change the fact that the alt-left came down to squelch free speech, or that they came with obvious intent to brawl, it doesn't change anything about their behaviour since the inception of BLM and Antifa, that goes back before Trump was even a thought. What if there was no murder last weekend? Would you be on the side of free speech? No, you wouldn't, because fundamentally you believe in "the ends justify the means"...and that has never been acceptable the modern western society. This asshole driving his car was the best thing that has happened to alt-left movement. I said it before, The left will push and push and when something goes bad, they'l claim "victim status".

Has no one been murdered I probably wouldn't have known about this protest, or cared. And if Trump didn't use the same type of moral equivalency we see used to defend Radical Islam (which I disagree with as well) then this wouldn't have gotten to attention it got. AND if Trump didn't Double Down yesterday, this story might be over with by now. But it keeps going because he can't help himself by giving his base handjobs.

Sorry...but your attempt at shaming me from Canada won't work. The U.S. Constitution means far more than your finger wags from across the border. I served to defend it...you never will.

Michael Hardner Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 You have fascist groups on one side, who chant anti-Semitic and racist slogans. You have peaceful groups opposing them, as well as some trouble makers who react with violence. There is no reason to defend the fascists here. They had the right to march and they did. Their message is odious and provokes nutbars to attack and give them attention. But there isn't equivalence here. If the leaders want a riot they can play this up as a battle of equals and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to travel across europe including the UK to realise what kind of a repugnant, impulsive, megalomaniac this man is described. He used to be a laughing stock now he is a total embarrassment...His softening tone to the ultra rights and KKK only shows he is nothing but a racist twat...
