By KingGondo Go To PostIf the police aren't going to show up to keep order, you can't be surprised when shit goes down.
But the police did show up. They arrested people and blocked off public areas once things went bad.
All the counter-protests really accomplished was turning an angry loser convention in a nothing town that would have had 15 seconds on the news into a successful nazi-recruitment film.
Real change happens with money and lobbyists and lawyers and people on the left who actually show up to vote in every election. This stuff? It probably isn't changing a thing.
All the money and lobbyists and lawyers didn't change shit last November, and they didn't prevent this resurgence in fascist white nationalism.
I want to be on the side of those who shout and scream and fight against hate, not those who call for false unity in the name of maintaining order.

Police didn't "show up" like they did in Ferguson, and when they did, they took their sweet ass time. How the fuck does a gang of racists, hound a black male, and then try and beat him to death right next to a fucking police station and not a single cop saw it? Nazi dudes out there with loaded guns intimidating people and pointing them at counter protesters and nada. A terrorist kills 3 people and injures a fuck load, and the police were going to give him a "pass" for being scared, not even an hour after he got caught. If the cops are going to pull that intimidation shit every time a black person protests, they should have done it here when groups with actual terrorist ideologies are out en masse. Where were they at trying to diffuse shit, before it went south? Chillin.

Then people talking about those fucks trying to get at people in local churches. Police were where?
This is the worst shit ever. There is no middle ground. There is nothing to be learned from here that we don't already know. There is no grey to this specific lot. They want "white sharia" law and death to people that don't look like them. This both sides, devil's advocate shit is tired.

here was nothing haphazard about the violence that erupted today in this bucolic town in Virginia’s heartland. At about 10 a.m. today, at one of countless such confrontations, an angry mob of white supremacists formed a battle line across from a group of counter-protesters, many of them older and gray-haired, who had gathered near a church parking lot. On command from their leader, the young men charged and pummeled their ideological foes with abandon. One woman was hurled to the pavement, and the blood from her bruised head was instantly visible.
Standing nearby, an assortment of Virginia State Police troopers and Charlottesville police wearing protective gear watched silently from behind an array of metal barricades — and did nothing.

The money and lobbyists and lawyers changed a lot. People act like Trump's victory means racism won and dialogue failed. But legal institutions and the ethics they're founded upon held, he's been impotent to accomplish what he wants.
And you left out the most important thing I mentioned - the left showing up to vote. If people had done that, you wouldn't have had the gerrymandering that let Trump win with millions fewer votes in the first place.
I want to be on the side of those who shout and scream and fight against hate, not those who call for false unity in the name of maintaining order.
Wouldn't you rather be on the side that can actually get what it wants?
Like I get it, those clowns deserve to be punched. It's normal to see those guys amassed and dressed up like the world's biggest dickheads and want to go Dynasty Warriors on their asses. But attacking people isn't going to make them chill out. Stacking up grievance isn't going to make them give up and believe in equality. The thing you want to do just doesn't work.
So many on the left have gotten cynical about dialogue because the pace of change is too slow. And I can't argue against that feeling because talking about 'some day' doesn't mean anything when you've got kids to raise and keep safe in the here and now. The problem is that the left also wants to consider itself the side of reason and evidence, and the only things that have actually been shown to make racism go away are direct contact and social ties.

Man, I've got nothing for this though. Cops for sure should have been up in those asses as soon "battle formations" started.
I'm not aiming to "convince" anyone or have a "dialogue" with Nazis. Certainly not anyone who would attend a white supremacist rally. They deserve to be confronted in person for their despicable views.
Anyone who is sympathetic to them can jump off a cliff too.
The Democrats don't even win or "get what they want" either, so I'll be spending my energy working on behalf of direct action.
And the left isn't obligated to vote for Democrats. Democrats need to earn the left's support.

Also: even if you think you need to allow this kind of speech on your campus, you're allowed to condemn the actions of your students. "Many disagree with"? Get the fuck outta here.
Washington State University is also under pressure from some students after it was revealed its college Republican president had attended the rally.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/world-us-canada-40922698
University president Kirk Shulz tweeted : "Universities are places where controversial voices must be heard - even those voices that many in our community disagree with."

Now Google says they're gonna bane Daily Stormer:
Shortly after the switch was noticed, Google announced plans to drop the site. “We are cancelling Daily Stormer’s registration with Google Domains for violating our terms of service,” the company said in a statement.
By Phoenix RISING Go To PostPermit should have never been issued. I hope the judge thinks about the three bodies today.
There's no legal standing to stop the protest. It would have been challenged and they would have won. The silver lining here (if any can be found) is that this can be used as evidence by other cities to say, "our police force isn't prepared to handle the potential public safety". Charlottesville basically said "they promised us they would be peaceful. What do you want us to do"
By Phoenix RISING Go To PostOuting/shaming these folks is my new favorite thing.
hopefully they all turn malignant, evil little cunt.

As long as the voice he uses on campus isn't one calling for violence etc.
University isn't meant to be "comfortable". Conflicting thoughts and ideologies are just a part of it. With out calls to violence.
A lot of higher positions in academia are supposed to be non-political. Not that it ever happens that way...

There's no reasoning with these mfs. They're literally looking for a race war.

This weekend could have been a hell of a lot worse. All of those guns for "self defense". Jfc.
Cornel West out there praising antifa for keeping him and the other priests n such alive, since the cops weren't doing shit. Crazy.

Like I said, not sure if more mad at police or racists. That dude who got beat up was literally a loogie's spit away from the police station.
Also, I came here to post that video of them taking down the statue. Some good ol civil disobedience never hurt anyone...just property, lol.

Sheriff is perusing charges, but the reason I quoted you was this.
Although the violence in Virginia has prompted fresh talk by government officials about bringing down symbols of the Confederacy around the South, North Carolina has a law protecting them. The 2015 law prevents removing such monuments on public property without permission from state officials.
North Carolina is one of only three states — along with Virginia and Georgia — that have 90 or more Confederate monuments, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. A state tally shows at least 120 Civil War monuments around North Carolina, with the vast majority dedicated to the Confederacy. Around 50 are located at contemporary or historic courthouses. There are Confederate statues at the state's flagship university and Capitol grounds.
Had no idea about this myself. Unless you were just speaking about the City.

I literally pulled into a gas station once, noticed the attached establishment was titled 'Hunt Brothers Pizza', took the hint, and kept it moving.
I know colleges that protect monuments regularly, either with upkeep or persons on the ground.

Jesus ... that's awful. A shining example of why the free market isn't a solution to these issues, but still awful.
Hunt Brothers is a national chain attached to gas stations. It doesn't have any racist affiliations as far as I know.
Wait, is there something I should know about Hunt Brothers Pizza? Because they are in like every single gas station I've been to recently. Even the ones out of state.
e: yeah, there are 7,300 of them in 28 states. https://www.huntbrotherspizza.com

They're like a truck stop/construction worker break area for people who don't mind, haven't caught the lingo, or actively fuck with hunting brehs lol
Like Cracker Barrel with worse food and people ain't headed back from Church
By Kibner Go To PostI mean, it was founded by four brothers who share the last name of Hunt.And people who eat there in my area literally hunt brothers
By DY_nasty Go To PostAnd people who eat there in my area literally hunt brothersGotcha. That clears things up for me. I just haven't seen anything resembling that at the dozens of locations around me.
According to their Wiki, Hunt Brothers Pizza is also on base of a few international US Military Stations, so, good luck DY!
By 2015, the company had partnered with the Army and Air Force Exchange Service to open five stores on U. S. bases in Germany.
While I did think the name was inherently bad, I can see how an otherwise innocuous name could be misconstrued depending on the area.
