Antifa and BlackLivesMatter have a history of violence wherever and whenever the meet.
The Unite the Right Crowd has no real history of violent protest, but they exist because people are pissed off at Antifa and BlackLivesMatter and want to form a group to oppose them.
Providing demonstration permits on the same day to two groups that oppose each other bitterly was a recipe for disaster from the git go.
You have angry and armed factions facing off with each other looking for a fight and the police have no right to intervene until the situation explodes.
This was a set up for a violent confrontation with inevitable tragic consequences.
Yep. Lotsa lawsuits coming against Charlottesville. Lots.
The left never had a permit in the first place where as the right did,and then told they were not allowed off the cops.
