Oh my god.

 

But, I guess that's what needs to happen for violence to be fought with violence

[Just Cherry 3,780]

This is truly disgusting and terribly scary. I'm so sorry to everyone experiencing this and I hope it doesn't get worse. It's hard to be hopeful when our president doesn't condemn these kinds of actions.

There's no buts or excuses for this at all, don't be stupid. It's a short video, but as far as I can tell, there's nothing violent happening in this video until a fucking car plowed through a group of people expressing their right to protest. People who still make excuses for this kind of behavior are ignorant dumbasses, at least try to not be one of them.

[frankie 1,782]

hey guys, you can run some1 over with a car if somebody else did it to a different group of people before you did. news flash

[graham4anything 2,859]

the white nationalist terrorist who hit the crowd should be charged notonly with terrorism but with hate crime and his teacher from earlier days has come out and said this terrorist was a major believer in

anti-Semitism, racism, and pro-Nazi.

 

third- there are probably hundred million people against these hate groups, and the hate groups have a few thousand at most.

 

fourth- Donald trmp did not condone the hate groups, in fact, like he never puts down Putin, he went out of his way to assess blame on those protesting the KKK, and not the KKK and hate groups themselves.

and seethes with hatred for President Obama (mostly because he is black and beloved unlike the bigly corrupt and hated Trump)

 

and former KKK head David Duke said something like- this is why we helped elect trump

 

part of another era that saw the lynching of many Blacks

 

and there is no southern nation, as the south was never a nation itself, when it seceded for the Civil War.

 

the anti-KKK protesters were peaceful until the trouble was started by the hate groups

 

 

 

For those who have never been (as there are many here from other countries)- if ever in Washington DC visit the brand new African-American Museum which tells the true story of the entire US Slave era, and the continuing fights for equality

(continuing even though Dr. King was victorious when President LB Johnson signed the voting rights/civil acts rights, every day brings challenges to it and one has to remain vigiliant.

 

While everyone thinks Thomas Jefferson meant all are created equal, Jefferson did not (slaves were only considered partial people and could not vote, but gave the south more representation that it should have had,

with less people allowed to vote. (Jefferson himself was a slave owner, who raped his slaves and had children with at least one (who did not have the choice to consent)

Did I excuse the incident? No. Don't know where you got that from. And in this video you can clearly see the anti-protesters were there for more than protesting since they had bats (as so were the white nationalist) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxpeVIuf4Uk&app=desktop

 

What I'm saying is that these acts of violence must happen since the white nationalist movement is ever growing. On an NYT article I've read another article that another rally is for the 19th in Boston. Even in OP you can see the anti-protesters jollyfully mancing baked Alaska. If were going to be violent against this white nationalist movement we cannot be shocked at the reaction of more violence

You're defending a white supremacist running through a crowd of people with a vehicle and making excuses as to why it happened. You're clearly not worth the argument.

people are crazy......... 

[sweetie 6,627]

 

i hope every nazi is brutally murdered

 

 

i'm all against nazism and white supremacy... but HOW can you be okay with wishing death upon someone who wishes death upon others? you are literally no better. birds of a feather.

 

they should be locked up and isolated instead.

[ImTragic 799]

i cannot understand how shit like this can happen after 5000+ years of humans living together as a civilization......... and supposedly we are the most evolved/smart species........

The idea that people are being murdered by Nazis in 2017 America is surreal and scary. And the fact that nuclear war seems to be more imminent. And that Trump clearly doesn't seem to give a flying fuck about anyone or much of anything in the US except how he is being presented on the news and if he can make enough tweets/stir enough drama to distract from all the investigations the Trump clan is under. And the fact that the First Lady's tweet against this travesty is once again a copy and paste effort from something Michelle said a year ago and Trump himself had to be pressured to make any real remark about what happened over the weekend in virginia. 

obviously there has always been hatred and violence and chaos and those who have been aware of this for some time know that it's been happening, even if in a more underground/non-mainstream way, but damn if it doesn't feel like things are getting bleak.

nope. they'll still continue their ways of being nazis.

What is wrong with somebody with a different skin colour? This is exactly why I hate being white. The majority of this race is fucking stupid and thinks "white is right". All those people need to be shot and killed. End of story.

not to sound hostile or anything, because i used to believe that too, that people who wished death on others were equal to the person they wished it on. but remember how many people were killed my nazis and white supremacists, (hint: nazis, around 11 million) and then try to defend saying "we shouldnt be mean to the nazis cuz theyre humans like us!!!"

 

why are you defending the people responsible for a movement that killed 11 million innocent people? and then say somebody else, who doesnt support that movement, is equal to them?

 

not against your idea of nazis locked up in isolation though

[Hanna 2,853]

I believe all life is sacred and nobody deserves to die, but... It's hard to keep your head on straight when people (white supremacists, K.K.K., etc.) do things like this. I can't believe that some individuals get so wrapped up in the mindset of "You're taking away my rights because you want to live freely", and I can't believe that in this day and age, more isn't being done about it. Free speech will always be important, but it isn't always most important. A person's right to live, or to live happily and with the same rights and opportunities as their fellow man, comes before another person's right to say something offensive.

[frankie 1,782]

basically my point is, nazis killed 11 million people, and then when somebody complains about nazis yall are like "but theyre just human beings like the rest of us they deserve life!"

 

those 11 million people they killed deserve life too... if "all life is sacred" why are you defending the lives of nazis and not the victims
