No , the rally did not have a permit , and was subsequently declared an unlawful assembly < https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/aug/12/virginia-unite-the-right-rally-protest-violence , http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/torch-wielding-white-supremacists-march-university-virginia-n792021 > . I will give due credit to the police for seeming to show judicious restraint in handling both the alt-right groups , and the counter demonstrators . I only regret that certain hard left political cults showed up , because I feel that they might tend to inadvertently serve to discredit the very cause of anti-fascism / anti-racism . Namely I am referring to the Workers World Party , which has been known to be supportive of North Korea http://socialistworker.org/2012/01/12/socialism-in-one-dynasty . I feel that the general public will likely tend to consider such personnel to be at least as extreme , and objectionable as the very forces that they were confronting .

Imagine me lol'ing if a guy runs a car through a bunch of people in Tel Aviv.

I never would.

See, it's easy not being an asshole.



I just imagine all the coming media outrage

RIIGHT WING TERROIZMM OMGG

and the usual arguments like:
see? not only Muslims are committing terrorism (and forgetting the fact that vast majority of terrorism is still being done by Muslims and by a disproportional rate considering their percent of the population in the west)

Did my point even get through to you?

LOL TERRORISM

LOL CAR KILLS PEOPLE

THIS IS BAD. THIS IS WHAT AN ASSHOLE DOES.

But you're bitching about what the media, so I guess it's clear: you don't give a shit about people who live or die, it's about scoring points.

The rally quickly turned violent, however, as hundreds of right-wing activists- including members of the Ku Klux Klan- turned up armed with sticks and Confederate flags, chanting pro-Nazi phrases such as "Jew will not replace us." Police subsequently declared the rally an 'unlawful assembly' and the Virginia National Guard was 'closely monitoring the situation.' The Governor of Virginia has declared a state of emergency.

Still 'LOL', @Zionist Nationalist? Not worried about Nazis killing people any more?
#14832440
Zionist has a good point. We shouldn't overreact to a guy running people down in his car with tinted windows and no license plate during the middle of an actual nazi rally for white supremacy. Just think about the sensitive right wingers who will feel bad if we point out the logical conclusion of their ideology playing out in real time.

#14832449
Guys, you're forgetting the real victims here: white nationalists that have killed more people in the US than everyone else.

Think of what precious victims they are, needing to begin killing!

Let's all have a good cry over rightwing feelings of victimhood and forget that they are pathetically attempting to pretend they're not like the rightwing Muslims they've been training and patronizing for the last thirty years!
#14832454
I'd be surprised if this becomes an epic thread.

The rightwing loves to present themselves as blubbering victims whenever they can place themselves as on the wrong side of this.

When rightwingers commit atrocities the rest of us shrug our shoulders and say, "Of course Nazis are Nazis."

Well, that's exactly the reasoning lefties use when an Allahu Akbar shouter plows into people on any European street. So you're saying that the left is supporting Islamic terrorism? That's nice of you to finally admit it. :)
