...."This is perhaps the best on-the-ground view of what went down in Charlottesville over the weekend. It’s graphic in spots. Prepare to get angry and sad and frustrated and scared."

I have seen this video being run as NEWS on the local Miami Fox station.

Looks bad, but I wonder if it was SELECTIVELY EDITED...I am certain there WERE people there who were not racists. The same VICE video shows only CALM people counter protesting and only hateful people marching.

I wouldn’t bother with vice. They’ve been part of the alt-left for a long time.

Here’s all you need to see about the alt-left:

I don’t necessarily agree that the VICE video is accurate. What concerns me is seeing the selectively edited video being distributed by local news channels as if it is representative of the whole event.

The 4chan kids were pretty good at finding the videos the Antifa folks themselves took and put out on FB and whatever and had them up on 4 chan within hours. Those were the videos I saw on Sunday morning. I have read that the lefties are now circulating edited videos and scrubbing what they don’t want folks to see.

Unless youtube deletes them there are sure to be videos there that give an accurate depiction of what happened,,,regardless of how good or bad they make either side look.Ditto for photos posted all over the web.

If I see a guy with a swastika on his forehead beating someone with a bat I'll certainly know that that's wrong.If I see some punk with a pink Mohawk and a dozen rings in its nose beating someone I'll know that *that's* wrong.

DJT is correct...there was absolutely *no* shortage of scumbags involved...and not all of them,not *nearly* all of them...were wearing "white power" t-shirts.

I’m not even going to watch it. Fox showed live video of antifa being violent that day, although the anchor was busy complaining about how the open carry law makes this situation dangerous somehow.

We need to see those unedited vids.

There was only one guy with a Nazi flag, but from the MSM propaganda, you’d think there were many.

Oh, and that dude was likely paid to do that. Not even a real Nazi.

After the car hits the mob there is an angry guy with a Black Lives Matter shirt on saying how they didn’t “effin want them in our town”. I wonder just how many times that same sentiment has been uttered when his side shows up.

I guess you have to give his side credit—they did something about it (a point the media chooses to ignore).

"What concerns me is seeing the selectively edited video being distributed by local news channels as if it is representative of the whole event."

Why are you surprised?? Local news only repeats what they get from the national news organizations, even if the event they are covering is local to them. I quit watching tv news of any sort, even local. I record one segment of local news so I can fast-forward to the local weather, which is the only (mostly) unbiased "news" left.
