Abrams calls for removal of Confederate faces off Stone Mountain

Found this article, with lots of quotes from people at Charlottesville.

Seems like there was violence and peaceful on both sides, but most of the violence seems to have come when 'counter-protestors' blocked the movement of the rally, or attacked people involved in it.

Regardless of who was in the march, or their political views, they had a legal right to be there and to march, and blocking them or attacking their rally is the main reason for any violence that ensued.

There was nothing peaceful about the counter protesters there either, and I know over a dozen people who were witnesses to the whole thing.

When they're doing it at night, with torches, and there's violence and someone dies, then they've crossed a line.

The organizers had nothing to do with the guy who killed the counter protester. They did not suggest or encourage him to do anything. It lies solely at the feet of James Fields. Blaming the entire gathering for the self-directed acts of one individual is pretty pathetic.

Apart from the fact that they quite many of them shouted nazi slogans and favoured sick ideologies that have led to killings time and time again throughout history.

I find your responses trite and lacking in any ability to think beyond stereotypes and slogans. Think, man, think!

And your response is?

Gross over-simplification and conflation of separate events.

I'm amazed that some people seem to think that an increasingly authoritarian left -leaning society that uses violence to censor differing voices is a good thing in any way. Are they completely ignorant of the bloody history of such societies ??

They strain at the neo -nazi* gnat, and swallow the Antifa tiger.


* Pretty much everyone sees them as nutcases

[MaxVel]

And your response is?

To you? Yawn.

To you? Yawn.

We already know the answer. You questioned the narrative, so you must be a racist. I can see why you don't want to deal with Jimmy bot when you already know the response.

Yes, because we all know that a few hundred basement dwellers, carrying tiki tourches are a threat to the republic. Do you check under your bed every night for Trump, Putin, and Nazis, so they don't 'get you' in your sleep?

[Zymologist]

To you? Yawn.

Only a Nazi white supremacist would yawn in the face of such injustice!

OOOHHH!!! words.... scary!!

I agree. If they were, for example, carrying communist flags, then we'd know their peaceful intentions.

Source: New Confederate memorial unveiled in Alabama

More than 200 people attended an unveiling ceremony for a new Confederate monument Sunday afternoon in Alabama's Crenshaw County.

The modest stone marker commemorates the "unknown Confederate soldiers" who died in the Civil War but have been forgotten by history, particularly those from Crenshaw County and the surrounding area.

The memorial now stands in a confederate memorial park first opened in May 2015 on private land in an unincorporated area next to Dry Creek RV Park about three miles north of Brantley. It sits among existing monuments, replica cannons and tall flagpoles flying Confederate and other flags.
