After the horrendous clash between white supremacists and Antifa Communists in Charlottesville, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe (D) claimed that the police did not break up the fight because of the fact that the Neo-Nazis were so heavily armed that separating the groups would have been explosive.
During an interview with Black Lives Matter activists DeRay McKesson, McAuliffe stated that the police had found weapons caches around the city, and that intervention would have created an even more violent situation,
“They had battering rams and, you know, we had picked up different weapons they had stashed around the city,” McAuliffe told Mckesson. “This was a powder keg. This was a very volatile situation. And I’ll once again say, I am very proud of our team on the ground. Nobody hurt except for those people hit by the car and you couldn’t stop that.”

Governor Terry McAuliffe (D)a liar! I’m shacked, just shocked I tell you!
Do not hold your breath.
#2 is not correct, apparently the Neo-Communist Blackshirt AntiFa types did have a permit, albeit for another nearby park.
The governor’s failure to use the State Police to keep the two groups separated was an egregious failure on his part for which he deserves much opprobrium.
Jeff Sessions, please pick up the red phone... your balls and do your f'n job !
Remember, McAuliffe the corrupt would not be governor except for RINO Republicans who came out in opposition to the Republican conservative Ken Cuccinelli, endorsed and contributed to McAuliffe, and set up a “Libertarian” (actually, a democrat) third party candidate to siphon votes away from Cuccinelli.
These same people did the same thing to Oliver North when he ran for the Senate in Virginia, opposing him, endorsing his Democrat opponent Chuck Robb, and setting up a third party candidate to steal votes away from North.
The Republican Party in Virginia at its top is corrupt as can be. They would rather cooperate with the democrats rather than have some non-RINO outsider take away their power.
The only thing I would add is it’s been reported that the guy who set up the event in the first place recently became a “white supremacist”. He’s a DNC activist, Bammy supporter, and a member of OWS!
As a FReeper put it It’s the Rat’s Reichstag fire.
