That is utter b******* . No police dept. would allow that to happen.”
I don’t believe that the police were instructed to “bring the ... groups together,” and I agree that the police would have been unlikely to follow such an order. My guess is that, because of the chaos combined with the lack of planning by the police, the two groups were *unwittingly* brought in close proximity. This event had been in the works for many months. The governor should have ordered a massive law-enforcement presence beginning on Friday, creating a “blue wall” to separate the two groups. I put the blame squarely on him for what transpired.
Please ban the word “bombshell”, unless you’re talking about Mae West. Thank you
It remains extremely sad that a young woman lost her life, then two of the governor's favorite troopers,(the ones on the chopper) also had to lose their lives.
Call it what you will, even if you use the term Karma, Pay Back really sucks, don't it. I suspect they were making a move for some emergency action to ban open carry and concealed carry.
Trump was very correct to have made those comments at the Monday after press conference.
Come on DOJ, get your investigation done and at least get a preliminary report issued.
Of course it was...
>I don’t believe that the police were instructed to “bring the ... groups together,” and I agree that the police would have been unlikely to follow such an order.
Everyone there said that the police forced boy groups together. That’s the account from the alt-right and the alt-left.
>My guess is that, because of the chaos combined with the lack of planning by the police, the two groups were *unwittingly* brought in close proximity.
The police formed a box around the right wing protestors and left the only exits from the box lined with a gauntlet of alt-leftists armed with bats, cans of flame throwers, rocks, pepper spray, and bottles of urine and feces. Every alt-rightist was attacked on the way into the box and eventually the cops forced the alt-rights into the alt-left by driving them back with shields.

The goverment planed to create violence. The police obeyed their orders and someone died.
You need to stop trusting the cops. They obey the people who pay them, nothing more nothing less.
I always enjoy the BOOM! articles
(yeah, just kidding)
>There is a thread on here today with a video of a guy who swears he saw anif*ks and ‘nazis’ getting off of identical busses parked next to each other. The whole thing was a setup, bought and paid for.
The people flying the Nazi flags without a doubt were paid to do so.
As a police officer, you obey such illegal commands?
Does Terry McAuliffe spend a lot of time in Charlottesville? Or was this just a coincidence that he was there to have his press conference?
>>That is utter b******* . No police dept. would allow that to happen.<<
Then they were either stupid, inept and caught off-guard (even though the permit was issued months in advance), or they are p***ies who need to find another line of work.
I agree with your description of what happened. The question is whether or not it was a “plan.” When in doubt, especially in chaotic situations, my default assumption when it comes to counterproductive police tactics is that incompetence, rather than malevolence, is the cause. I’ve observed this in many situations, ranging from traffic management to murder investigations.
I think the police could have very innocently brought the groups together. For instance, leadership (and I believe A LOT of the leadership is liberal in police forces, cities, colleges, yada yada yada) in the force splits ground troops in 2; 1 group is covering antifa, one group kkk. Then radio in guidance/instructions, etc., to each group and that guidance is the same. Poof; they’re in the same place.
If you check out the photo, and the testimony from the Freeper who was there, you can clearly see that it was planned.
When I was listening to the live feed online, I heard the organizers on megaphone blocking the protesters (antifa and such like, looked like lots of college kids too) from dispersing and going up a street that led out of the area.
This woman actually stopped them, turned them around and funneled them back down into that intersection where the car accident happened.
I’m sure he was there for a photo-op; he wants to suck up to the left-wing (base) of the Virginia Democrat party so that he will get the next Senate nomination after he leaves the governorship in January 2018.
Planned by the police or by the counter-protesters? Some here are suggesting it was a set-up by the police.
That is to say, it won't be a BOMBSHELL, ever...
bkmk

I’ve been watching the organized left using the police in this manner all my life. During the LA riots the cops retreated to just beyond Korea town in order to let the rioters burn the Koreans out. The cops only came back in once it was clear the Koreans were not only winning, but about to push into the riot zone and end the riot.
About 10 years ago there was a major black riot in England. Mass looting, arson, beating whites in the streets. The cops did nothing because they’d been ordered to do nothing. So the English Defense League assembled to march into the rioting area to restore order. Before they could march they were attacked by cops with clubs, water cannons, pepper spray, and the cops arrested everyone.
The police had all those tools at their disposal to put down the black riot but were ordered not too. The rioters were allowed free reign. But when it came to whites handling the problem they didn’t even bother trying to get them to disperse before they attacked them.
The police follow the orders of the leftists in charge and that type of crap doesn’t go down without them planning to make it happen.

There’s a difference between planned chaos and incompetence. The signs are easy to see.
