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.”

Bunch of crap promulgated by the Democratic panic party to make it look like Trump is causing all this...and the fawning press will give them tons of coverage.

In order to minimize the potential for violence, the University of Virginia has announced that their football team will once again refrain from competing in any bowl games this season.

Go Hokies!

” . . . 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.”

One person died as a result of violence at the march. Two people died as a result of an accidental plane crash.

I'm not sure why Newsweek would want to make the number of violence-related casualties seem higher than they were.

Yes.

Hence the scorn dumped on the Wahoos.....

I cannot absolutely defend the Fighting Gobblers against all accusations of Political Correctness, but Virginia Tech is still light years less left-wing-douche-baggy than the Cavaliers.

Now that’s how you troll the neo-Nazis — make a big deal about it on 8/8.

Yes, “3 dead” instead of “1 dead” is that day’s “hands up, don’t shoot”. Note that they are always careful not to say that the helicopter crash has no relationship to the events of the day. It was in the air at the time and that’s all.

TWo VSP Troopers were killed in a chopper crash as they were responding to C-ville.

YES! Thank you for jogging my memory.

Completely duplicitous.

Thanks. Just gave my daughter a heads up. She lives 2 blocks from the riot area.

The “white nationalists” were actually left-wing Obama supporters.

Louie Gomhert has said that the “white nationalists” and the Antifa terrorists were seen getting off the same bus.

A false flag if there was a false flag.

“Should be an exciting weekend.”

I suspect it will be exciting, too. I believe there will be few “white nationalists”, and the black bloc will riot and burn anyways. Then the media will tiptoe around that and spend most of their time on a couple of Confederate flags and the “violent and disproportionate” reaction of the police to having bottles, bricks and feces thrown at them. Maybe there will even be an antifa martyr out of this that the news can wail about for a few weeks.

Background story that was spiked, the chopper had just finished escorting Terry Mcauliffe into Downtown so he could give a speech for the media.
