State of Emergency Declared for Charlottesville
Newsweek ^ | 8/8/18 | Ramsey Touchberry

Posted on 08/08/2018 5:57:27 PM PDT by ButThreeLeftsDo

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency Wednesday for Charlottesville, Virginia, in preparation for the one-year anniversary of last year’s deadly white nationalist Unite the Right rally that left three dead and dozens injured. The state of emergency will last from Wednesday through the rally's anniversary Sunday.

Northam said because of anniversary events, rallies, and protests planned in Charlottesville and in nearby Washington, D.C., he ordered a state of emergency to "prepare and coordinate our response to ensure the protection of residents’ lives, property, and Constitutional rights.”

No emergency if ANTIFA doesn’t show.

Charlottesville was an elaborately staged farce to paint anyone on the right as a racist.

I wonder where the name “White Nationalists” came from?

Did the media just make it up? Does it really mean anything?

Do the puppet masters have some special operator drivers lined up to take out protesters?

All it does is demonize Whites.
If you’re a Black Nationalist, Facebook, Twitter, Google et.al. let’s you spew your venom.

Same with Muslim Jihadists.

Basically the commie media refers to anyone they disagree with politically as white nationalists

Expect the unexpected coming from out of nowhere the rest of the week.

Stay safe, Charlottesville!

I'm white.

I'm a nationalist.

That makes me a very bad person.

Well, if Antifa shows up, it will be a riot. That’s all they are good for

Wait, since when did 2 others die?

Oh yeah, it’s a state of emergency when alleged “white racists” protested, and 1 actually managed to kill someone.

Whereas OWS, BLM, Antifa, G8, none of them are ever violent or cause mass destruction and deserve special alerts.

Right wing types should call themselves Jihadis of Pallor and demand that all feminists dress in a Islam-compliant fashion.

The organizer of that so-called Unite The Right rally has long ago been exposed as a fraud. A lefty who wanted to ignite a race war. I have a lot of stuff on him. No serious patriotic right-winger is going to invite the Klan and Neo-Nazis to join in a rally.

Does Virginia Governor Ralph Northam have the guts to tell his State Troopers to turn Antifa heads into pink mist when the Antifa terrorists violently and imminently threaten the lives of innocent and peaceful people at a legal rally?!?
