““They will also hire a few people to wear Nazi armbands to discredit any conservative rally”

People tried that with Trump rallies and gatherings, and people gladly pointed them out and made it clear that they were not with the group, and made them leave.”

At an open rally such as this one I don’t think that can be done.

At a Coulter speech I am not sure it can be done as well.

Maybe it can be done in a closed rally with tickets but I would add perhaps only Trump could have done it. Also, in the press, Trump rally’s were widely blamed for the violence.

The TEA Party rallies were huge and quite open and they had no problem sending the trash down the road.

So this group in question did get a permit?

They used to do that with the Tea party rallies too.

I have always found it deeply ironic that liberals don’t sympathize with Nazis, much in the same way they sympathize with radical islam. After all, those two ideologies (Nazism and radical Islam) were (and likely are) kindred spirits.

They keep arms’ length from the names. They embrace the tactics and the goals.

I doubt the blue helmet types will even bother to show up. Look fo them to sit on the sidelines munching on the popcorn.

Rather look for more of the Dems and RINOS to be thrown out next year.

I assume you are the author of the post. If so, you should offer yourself as a witness to any official investigation that is forthcoming. I see several key points in your testimony:

1. The violence was started by the counter-protesters (leftist groups).

2. The police stood down and did nothing to stop the violence for at least 30-40 minutes.

3. When they DID act, the police ordered the group with the permit to leave, and allowed the counter-protesters to stay, thereby absconding their obligation to protect constitutionally protected free speech, and acceding to mob rule.

All of the above could be used in a lawsuit against city officials.

"Also the police did nothing to quell the violence."

One side had a permit.

Yet the DNC run city allowed the others to protest and come into contact with the permitted crowd.

The man who organized #Charlottesville's 'Unite the Right' rally said police 'refused to do their job’ http://bit.ly/2vzZluz

“Unite the Right” is fake. All the people associated with it at a leadership level are controlled opposition. Don’t fall for this scam."

I don't know if the "Unite the Right" group is a false flag group, but when I heard claims that they were chanting "Heil, Trump!" my BS detector started flashing. Real Trump supporters don't do that, at least none that I've ever known. It sounds like a leftist caricature/smear of what a Trump supporter would do.

The mayor said that the police presence was around 1,000. Sure weren’t many in the videos that I saw.
