You could have looked up the organizer of the event. It took me two minutes to find his web page and Twitter accounts.

The organizer of the Unite the Right rally, Jason Kessler.

7/7/2017 I'm organizing a right-wing free speech event in Lee Park. Come out and hear our great lineup of speakers.

-Baked Alaska
-Christopher Cantwell
-Richard Spencer
-Dr. Michael Hill
-Music by Paddy Tarleton
...And more!

A "patriotic American" would say that even a Nazi has the right to free speech and assembly in the USA, and the right to protection if other forces try to stop them. Just because their speech happens to be unpalatable doesn't mean they lose their rights.

If it were a question of "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" then that would be one thing. But the choice given me was to support one side or the other. I won't do that, though I agree that both sides are free to promote their own agendas.

Just another in the long line of the results of LBJs ‘Great Society’, mostly the cornerstone for ALL our ills.

Even when Truman integrated the Military, the STANDARDS didn’t change to accommodate the ‘newbies’.

Things started going to pot when it was DEMANDED that x # of people were SUPPOSED to fill certain positions.

About the only faction of society that works on ‘true merit’ is SPORTS.

If you can’t hit or catch a baseball that doesn’t mean ‘you’ can make the team because the ‘law’ says a Homo Mongolian has to be in the league. (AT LEAST NOT YET).

This will get interesting allowing the ‘boys’ to play girls sports (Haven’t we been crying about the Russian & Chinese & Eastern Bloc ‘female’ athletes being to uh ‘masculine’).

I realize every generation has been saying it since the ‘Garden of Eden’, this surely is the end of the world as we now know it, but I think it is actually happening now.<: <: <:.

“Please post the evidence you’ve seen of the presence of neonazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville. I’ve been searching for it but so far have come up empty.”

Stop it! You're destroying the narrative here. We have to have NAZIS so we can be like totally righteous and virtuous.

President Trump and team, it is time to call out the Left by name and Soros and Obama BY NAME!!!

You are letting them control the narrative by not digging and throwing BIG LIGHTS on the tactics...fine, call some of the protesters racists, but giving the Left a free pass still gives the media and Soros and Obama the upper hand.

We are your supporters and we have your back. We are pleading with you to shout the truth.

The truth is in the threads on this blog. Surely your team’s are savvy enough to go after Soros...if not now, when???
.....
President Trump, when they do this again but in Seattle or another city, what will you do?
Is Ivanka going to say how evil white racism is again or will you and your team do the right thing and expose Soros and Obama and their paid mobs and coup efforts???

Isn’t the millions of us supporting you enough of a safe space in which for you to operate? We are your safe space...for gosh sakes expose them!!!

“This video completely contradicts what you just posted:”

That’s just the tail end of the video I saw, assuming it’s the same one.

He was a block or two behind that crowd with a clear street ahead of him when he first punched the gas. All you see there is what was happening as he ran up on the crowd.

He’s about as innocent as those jihadis running over people in Paris. There’s video of him with a block or more of clear street ahead of him and no one paying any attention to him. And then he accelerates.

“Doug McKelway: We are now beginning to hear criticism bubble up on all sides of this event about the initial slow response by the police. When I got out of my car yesterday in Charlottesville about 10:30 in the morning you knew this was a bad scene and bad things were going to be happening because people were congregating at Lee Park and Emancipation Park wearing helmets, body armor, carrying big heavy sticks. Nobody was intent on peace here from either side. People were intent on causing havoc and causing damage. And even as wounded were being brought out of the park police were sitting idly by. I was standing off a cordoned off area where the police had set up as a staging area, the state police, and they said you can come in here this is a safe area. But when the tear gas started to fly, thrown by protesters, the police themselves began to evacuate then. I asked the guy who was in charge, “Where you going?” He said, “We’re leaving. It’s too dangerous.” They had a chance to nip this thing in the bud and they chose not to.” http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3576878/posts

There seems to be vile collusion between liberal mayors and the violent forces, who hate Trump, by prohibiting their police from protecting Trump supporters from BLMers, Antifa and other hired left wing thugs

This collusion appeared to be very evident at Charlottesville this past weekend.

Remember the riots in San Jose when Trump came to speak? The San Jose cops under orders from their liberal mayor let Trump supporters be harassed, attacked and chased by hired thugs.

Then, the first UC Berkeley riots last year were a replication of the San Jose attacks on Trump supporters. The cops were under orders from the mayor to let the Antifa thugs run wild to harm, harass and chase our people away.

The mayor of Charlottesville, apparently attended UC Berkeley. So, he would have been very familiar with how to set up riots like this by controlling his police like the Berkeley mayor did!

I posted shortly after the Berkeley riots had started, “That my wife had asked during the early so called tv news why the cops just stood by watched our people being attack?”

I told her, that it was apparent the cops had orders not to protect our people.

It is real simple. In any city with a police force, the mayor and maybe the city council tell their police chief what his/her cops can and cannot do in these situations.

So the individual cops with their mortgages, kids in braces and maxed out credit cards just stand by when our people are attacked without any police protection.

Remember, when the mayors shut down their cops at Chicago and later, in other cities did nothing when the anti Trump protesters tried to shut Trump down in his appearances in 2016!

In the above riots/near riots, the mayors and their mediots blamed Trump and his voters, not the criminal rioters.

That’s what I read, too, but look at all those people. You mean to tell me they didn’t come after him right then but good?

And no one got shot, although there was certainly provocation.

That, however, will not last. Someone will shoot, most likely someone from BLM and it then will become a fusillade.

It is no longer two groups of idiots shouting across the street from each other, with police lines in the middle. This stuff is getting medieval.

It looked to me like they did. Chased him clear up the block.
I guess they couldn’t outrun a Dodge Charger or stop it with their bare hands.

Really, though. If it is false please disabuse me of my misperceptions. But the questions remains. We’re I a Jew or a Mormon or even a Baptist I would caution my peers against creating an organization that were so composed. Especially one that spewed such vile propaganda into the culture. So how could they so foolishly allow themselves to be so comfortably ensconced into such a problematic comfort? And I a villain for recognizing the issue in regards to villains who would so encumber themselves?
