The Nazis at the Beer Hall Putsch weren’t happy about the German police presence either.

Freakin' A, what a bunch of losers.

When some hoodlum does an armed robbery at their location, who are they gonna call? They don't believe in armed citizens defending themselves--and they hate The Fuzz.

Fools.

“Anti-racist protesters staging non-violent demonstrations ...”

Lying from the very first sentence in the story.

I spent 26 years as a newspaper reporter/editor. I know propaganda when I see it.

Anti-cop protesters

Antifu has called ALL cops fascists since the days of ‘fascist’ President Bush.

They call themselves antiracist to soften news of their own militant excesses.

“...staging non-violent demonstrations...”

Apparently there were a few scuffles tonight, mentioned in passing by the 11 pm DC news, but no details. That leads me to believe the black bloc was involved, but I haven’t found anything about it online.

Right you are, and they’re as much the enemy as the vermin they’re running interference for.

This shit will continue in inverse proportion to the number of body bags filled.

They are unhappy because they can’t commit crimes.

Speaks volumes.

Found the black bloc’s most recent lists of demands, posted at 11:45 tonight, here:

http://www.nbc29.com/story/38864790/uva-rally-organizers-publish-their-demands

Some highlights of their screed:

Last Year They Came With Torches, This Year They Come with Badges

“We will not be holding the rally within the confines of policing apparatus forced upon us by the University Administration. It is a betrayal of our ideals and our community.

And about the cops:

“You may think that the cops are here to protect us, but we disagree. We know instead that:

Cops have a history of violence against anti-racist protestors, as we experienced last year at the KKK rally and saw in the past 10 days in Portland and Berkeley.

The institution of policing was created from the system of slave patrols. Today the function of the police continues to be to over patrol Black communities, target people of color and protect wealth.

Police are routinely exempt from punishment regardless of biased, excessive force and violence. Furthermore, the Courts, in the service of police control, intentionally punish anti-racist activists.

Increased police presence only results in increased police violence.

“The City and the University’s desire to control images and protect their brands has created a dangerous police state. They’re not here to protect us, they’re here to control us.

We will not comply.”

Sounds like Sunday will be black bloc vs police. Can’t wait for the highlights film.

How dare the police show up to prevent violent liberal bullies from attacking lawful protestors.
Liberals want systematic oppression now as they had under Obama and local liberal regimes. Like when they beat up Trump supporters in San Jose and police stayed out of the way, blaming conservatives for inciting it. Like when cops in Berkley let liberal bullies beat up conservatives with poles and set things on fire, refusing to take police reports so they could say they had no reported violence.

A liberal got mad at me for not getting appropriately hysterical when she called Trump Hitler.
“You’ve called every President since Bush the first that title, but liberals trotted a Bush out when he had weak criticism of Trump, so obviously he isn’t.”
“Well, Trump is like Hitler, he wants to put people in camps, he hates X -”
“Then you shouldn’t have cried wolf for my entire lifetime.”

This "unite the right" nonsense is such a joke. SO much HYPE over a tiny group of losers who represent NO ONE.
ONE victim of the idiot in the car -- and she died of a heart attack (morbidly obese chain smoker Heather Heyer), NOT from injuries, as her mom admitted.

WHO CARES? what about the FIVE Dallas cops who were butchered by a Black Lives Matter racist scumbag. NO media covered those anniversaries or attacked Obama for creating the New Black Racist Movement.

This whole hypocrisy is disgusting, as are conservatives who are too cowardly to even mention it.

Stopping your riot before it can start.

I am stunned to see public officials acting responsibly.

Michael Stipe says he didn’t come out as a gay man in the 80s because Reagan was going to put all of the homosexuals in camps.

and I’m pretty sure they compared Nixon to Hitler as well.
