Charlottesville anniversary: Peaceful protests, few arrests

Thousands of people wanting to send a message that racism is unwelcome in the United States gathered in a park outside the White House to protest a white nationalist rally on the anniversary of the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

This first paragraph is totally dishonest. Did the AP interview thousands of people to determine their reasons for coming?

Buck Sexton was actually there for the protest and he is telling a totally different story. (People should really listen to him because he is not insulated as are the more prominent radio talk show hosts.) Camera crews were attacked, Trump's life was threatened, Black clad paramilitary trained antifa were armed and masked. Since when do these thugs have the right to intimidate in America?

Why is the AP willing to be dishonest in order to defend antifa? Will this dishonesty backfire when antifa turns more violent when their goals are not met politically?

The AP story title is also very dishonest.

I am posting this because as an informed citizen, it is important to know what the enemy is propagandizing.

150 black clad, armed revolutionaries wearing masks is a peaceful protest? Only if they are ignored by the police.

Anarchy in the streets, intimidating unarmed people.

All the violence came from the left via Antifa.

The media by and large have become the advocates of Antifa violence. The media will not write nor broadcast the truth of those that are violent. In effect they have cast their lot with the violence. The media is pond scum, I prefer to call them “gusanos”. That means worm but in Spanish it really means vile and slimy and worthy of stepping on. It is a real insult to say the least.

The media also calls the other side white supremacists NAZIs. Is it not odd that NAZI means “National Socialist German Workers’ Party,”

NAZIs are socialists!

a few thousand patriots with suppressed pistols should show up at one of these antifa riots . just give them open season for an afternoon and there would be vastly less of this activity in the future . no mercy , no quarter

How long can this last? The media is so blatantly dishonest, anyone with 1/2 a brain must see what is going on. Only those who don't want to know the truth believe them.

These armed thugs wearing masks and threatening the President are breaking laws and are being ignored by police, as commanded by civil authorities. They will get increasingly bold until there is real violence.

that is why they’re trying to throw conservative voices off of social media, in order for them to have the monopoly on all information.

AP went to the Left a couple decades ago when it was bought out by a new owner or conglomerate of leftists.

They have/had a few good reporters but the bulk of them are dishonest, incompetent, leftist, anti-American or just plain stupid, or any combination therefor.

Thanks to some conservative reporters/journalists, we are getting more of the Charlottesville story, including who the communists, black racists, and psychopathic Blocs/Antifa are.

It is our job to spread these articles around to friends, other local papers and news stations (asking why they didn’t cover it honestly or used dishonest, biased sources), on the internet, talk-radio shows (which I did on Mark Levin about two weeks ago), etc.

We are now, by default, the de facto spreaders of the “truth” as has been seen by our “eyes and ears” on the ground, including Tucker Carlson, Buck Sexton, Jesse Watters, Judge Jeanine Piro, Larry O’Connor, Matt Vadum, Trevor Loudon, and others.

This is a job that has to be done, fearlessly, honestly, competently, in detail, in context, and as an ongoing basis.

I’ve been doing this for 50 years and I love it. But it got lonely out there as the old-timers passed away and few younger people took up the task. Believe, telling the “truth” will give you more personal satisfaction than most other things you will do for the public.

I understand an appreciate the FReepers who relentless point out what NAZI really means, but lets deal with the reality of how the left is using the term today in American politics. they label anyone left of Stalin a Nazi or White supremacist.

#8. Correction: DC is a gun free zone for crime victims, not the criminals.

” Kessler said in a permit application that he expected 100 to 400 people to participate, but the actual number was far lower: only around 20.”

Why give any media attention to a protest of 20 people?

I thought I would check out YouTube for some video from that event - boy, was that a mistake. The first 2-3 pages are chock full of video from CNN, NBC, and pretty much any left-leaning "media" outlet you can think of. And of course, you know the angle they are pushing. Too bad for them that the "alt-right" has been exposed as frauds and most likely a bunch of socialists.

Oddly the right are very law abiding citizens. Many of the right are also armed and most capable with arms. I am one of those. I will abide by law and order despite the outrages of the left. If law and order by action of the left is gone, I will kill. It is just that damn simple. If law and order can not protect me, I will protect I and my loved ones.

I pray that day never comes. I am really good with weapons but that is just because I grew up with them and have shot my entire life.

I no longer hunt but did as a young man. My friend hunts on my property and we share the venison. I have zero problems with ethical hunters. I absolutely hate and abhor hunters that violate our game laws. They are not hunters, they are actually criminals. I just lost the joy of killing unless it was vermin on my land. I hate coyotes and pigs and they are vermin. I will kill them. This is just house cleaning. It needs to be done.

If I must ever raise a rifle against a human it is simply because he or she is vermin. As mentioned, I pray this day never happens.

300 yards from a stable position is easy if you have a good weapon. If greater than 300 yards you need optics that cost more than your weapon.

The media market for white supremecists would seem to be much larger than the supply. How many more reporters were there vs. Jason Kessler’s false flag protestors? 20X ratio?
