Lowry was lucky he wasn’t on Reid’s show when he contradicted her. He probably would have been booted off.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

What happened in Charlottesville, VA on Saturday should surprise no one. This was an inevitable outcome of this country’s lack of anything resembling an independent national news media. If anything, it’s surprising it took this long for such a tragedy to happen.

For two years now, leftist agitators funded by George Soros-supported groups have been violently assaulting supporters of Donald Trump without a single word of objection or condemnation from any leader of the Democratic Party. Not a word.

Worse, none of these “leaders” have been asked by anyone with any major national news outlet why they stand silently by as supporters of their political party engage in increasingly vile and violent protest actions.

Not a single Democrat politician has been questioned by any “journalist” why they not only refuse to condemn such actions, but tacitly endorse them by proclaiming themselves to be participants in the “resistance”.

Not a single “journalist” has asked any Democrat why they refuse to even condemn the rise of a neo-fascist group that calls itself “Antifa”, and which pays masked thugs to burn buildings, attack law enforcement officers and beat up anyone who disagrees with them.

There were two sides? Listening to the news, I thought there was just one side.

The side that never gets told. The Patriots that were attacked and left to suffer by the police and then attacked by the governor and the press.

Reid will probably also argue that no one shot Rep. Scalise and no one shot those Dallas cops.

The Charlottesville police chief and mayor let the Blac Bloc and communists run around assaulting people (how many arrests BEFORE speed racer powered up the Mach 5?), then cry crocodile tears when commies go flying through the air like bowling pins.

The commies are lucky thats all that happened to them.

It’s a hallmark of stupidity to not be able to see when your side screws up.

President Trump has come under withering media and political attack for a statement condemning violence “on many sides.”

We all saw the videos. What Trump said is absolutely true, so why the outrage at his statement? Reason: because he said it. Doesn't matter whether it's true or not. The MSM agenda is to damage Trump. Does the MSM really think we can't see through this bias?

All Americans have the right to peacefully assemble under the Constitution. How, when and where are dependent on local government regulations.

The local Charlottesville Government is totally responsible for the violence, deaths and failure to manage the exercise of civil rights of each group equally under the Constitution.

The local government failed to govern, they failed to lead and they failed to understand their duty under the law. That was their greatest mistake.

The group was protesting the removal of a Confederate General’s statue. The group got their permit to gather & protest legally.

Then the mayor revoked the permit, illegally. Surprisingly, the ACLU had it reinstated.

I wonder if Antifa, BLM had a permits? Who told them about the protest? A city does not have to issue permits all on the same day. What were the City officials thinking? Such incompetence.

Factions from all groups were bussed in. Makes me wonder if this was a staged event.

The situation was solely the failure of the state & local government! I hear the governor told the police to stand down. Democrat political drama gone bad.

Terry McCauliff doesn’t look Presidential - biased global communist Clinton stooge.

I watched videos and stills of Charlottesville and one thing stands out to me. The so-called white supremacists/skinheads are unlike any I’ve seen before.

They all appear to be military-age males, pretty fir & trim. It’s almost like some contractor provided them. They’re walking down the street at route march.

When was the last time skinheads could get organized enough for a tiki torch parade.

This smells to high heaven. I’d say definitely false flag.

So, Rich, I don’t believe there are ‘two’ sides. It’s a one and made for event by the likes of Soros.

The “everybody does it” Defense didn’t work with my Parents either.

I am reminded of Ann Coulter’s response when Liberals defending the actions of other Liberals say, it happens on both sides. Ann looks at them and says, really (?), name one from my side.

The police and the city or university are at fault at these rallies for not keeping things under control and keeping opposite views separated. It should be safe for both Antifa and the Klan to demonstrate. if not, don’t issue a permit to the second applicant and arrest the side that has none. But letting people face off in the street and yell and throw things at each other is a formula for tragedy.

the city had an obligation to establish adequate safety when they issue a permit or know a large crowd is coming to the city. laving the street open and letting people throw things at each other and yell from opposite sides of a narrow street is not adequate safety and this and other incidents prove it. So the city IS responsible to prevent such incidents. Any rookie cop would know that people have been driving crowds into cars all over the world and here in the states.

None of the precludes a jury from finding the driver guilty. but the officials are also culpable and the DOJ or state AG should be all over that investigation . In Cal when coulter was scheduled,the chancellor of UC should have been sent to jail along with the campus police chief or the Berkeley chief for failure to protect the public and the property of the university and the first amendment rights of the group that invited her and of course Ann herself. But the governor of Cal was too busy raising taxes and hugging trees.

if these crimes and ministerial negligence were dealt with the incidents would decrease.

New video shows Charlottesville car and driver being attacked with baseball bats before backing up.

Just like the Rodney King video, where the media purposely edited out the parts that showed King attacking the police, in order to promote a racist white cops/black victim narrative that instigated the LA race riots and the lynching of 50 innocent people and the violent assaults of many more.

Here is an alternate view not being shown by the MSM, that shows the car from the rear just before it backed up to get out of there.

Something was happening to the car and driver that the MSM doesn’t want the public to see. Like the car being swarmed and attacked by violent Leftist protestors using aluminum baseball bats (deadly weapons) to get to the driver, and likely beat him to death, if he had given them the opportunity. Instead he apparently chose to leave and save himself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Weg3fP0lZmE

The media’s crowd of “peaceful counter-protestors” didn’t know if he used his car as a weapon or not. The driver could have suffered a medical condition, been elderly, had a heart attack, accidentally hit the gas instead of the break. The car may had an electrical/computer/mechanical malfunction that caused the car to speed up and frustrate all the driver’s attempts to stop it. All these scenarios have happened before. Or he may have been attacked down the road out of camera view, and panicked trying to get away. Peaceful people would have tried to find out.

But the media’s “peaceful counter-protestors” didn’t try to find out; they came armed with deadly weapons, and chose to use them instead.

This video belies the the MSM narrative of “peaceful counter-protestors”.

Violence on both sides? The video depicts that. But who started it? That’s what I’d want to know. Special condemnation should be reserved for the group that started it.
