The Charlottesville story has taken on a life of it’s own. It is now said the bad actors were the white supremists. The story is that a part of this group of what probably were white supremists and augmenting them were others wanting to save the statues from destruction. This second part of the group had many who were not supremists but did have a common cause - save the statues. This group applied for and received the required permissions to meet in the park. There were no clubs or brass knuckles. Call these Group #1.
Antifa and BLM arrived to demonstrate against the first group and filled the street. These did have clubs. Once antifa was in position, the mayor rescinds the permit group #1 had received and the police ordered them out of the park onto the street now filled with group #2 - antifa and BLM - who then began blooding up group #1.
One protestor was killed when hit by someone in a car who panicked and put the pedal to the medal when his car was nearly surrounded by protestors.
I followed the event pretty closely at the time. And what I’m hearing now doesn’t match what I heard then.
slo-mo footage proved she was NOT hit by that car...she just collapsed and died of a heart attack
she was knocked over by another person
My daughter lives a block or two away from the scene of the incident.
She said today that a bunch of area churches are having some sort of gathering tonight with heavy security and a permit.
I reminded her that last year, one group had a permit and the city allowed another group to invade their gathering.
The lefties and Antifas are down there trying for Round Two. I liked D’Souza’s exposee - it is left vs left, Soros $$ stirring things up. The more they investigate the ‘alt-right’ folks, the more they will discover that they are lefties.
