They all.....and I mean all.....need to be held accountable. Left and right. Neither is remotely innocent in this game. There are bodies on both sides.
.by far and away this election cycle the left has used violence as a political tool..hell even James O'keffe caught DNC officals on videotape bragging about how they organized and finnaced violence at Trump rallies....Trump supporters have been attacked at almost every single rally he held...The Universities across America has seen right wing speakers met with violence and their audiences attacked like in Berkeley to the point that the Universites have become no go zones for free speech.to try and make some equivelancy is ludicrous.

"The Klan is here again. 10-12 alt-right groups. Richard Spencer. Jason Kessler(our local pro-white nut job). Biker gangs. Open carrying militia. They marched on UVA with torches last night. David Duke, who is here as well, specifically mentioning our president. ....

I was not aware that any of these people forfited their right to free speech and peaceful assembly ...if they violated the law then sure arrest them but they have the right to speak...

My question is...why is the goverment standing around with their thumbs up their asses allowing violence to happen...it...is....almost....as...if...they...want...it...to....happen.so they can shut down free speech.

I've felt for a long time after you clued me in that Alex Jones was pushing the right out there to foment it at Israel's bidding

It has been said by some, mostly by Jeff Rense, that Alex Jones is Mossad or at least an Israeli chill.
http://www.rense.com/

I'm not sure..it may be that Alex is just a Texas hick who drinks and smokes more than he should
then runs his mouth..
However, somebody is def playing agent provocateur and such have been part of any good game from the gitgo.
I recall partaking of the sacrament with a dude back in '72 at Flamingo Park where the antiwar folks camped out to protest
at the Democratic Convention in Miami Beach.
A few hours later I watched as Miami Beach cops beat the crap out of him.

Years later I saw a book at the public library with a familiar face on the back cover.
It was the dude who turned out was an FBI agent...

I think the point is that there a lots of people raising hell in Virginia, most of whom don't even live there.
Many of those people don't give a damn about confederate monuments, they're only there to raise hell.

yeah I think Bull Conner said the same thing years ago.about the freedom riders. if people are inciting violence arreast them...if the goverment is staging incedents we don't stop that by shutting down free assembly.

I think a lot of them do care about attempts to erase our history so they can institute a repeat performance. These monuments serve as a reminder of mistakes & shame of the past & things to avoid in the future.

Sadly Ironic that those so close to these monuments are completely missing the very point of their importance & meaning while they battle each other in the shadows of them.

I don't doubt that a few people actually care.
But I think that many of those people, especially the ones that get bussed in
only care about "making the scene", taking selfies and youtube flicks and showing the world how big a patriot or social warrior they are..
Some of them are just bored and have nothing better to do that go out and raise hell

people have a right o free assembly...whether you feel they shouldn't or that they are being misguided is irrelevant...they have the right to assemble peacefully and expect the goverment to protect those rights.

Must you be hostile to all the new people?
Might it be that the people running around in BDU's, armed to the gills and strutting the most macho bullshit are
the Klan, Spence, bikers, NAZI's, ETC?
You still think neonazi's and bigots don't exist?
Surprise! There are hundreds if not thousands of groups in the states and worldwide who are just as interested
if not more in destroying this country.
I understand in your that you don't see them from your ivory tower but as I've said b4, I personally know klansmen
and nazis, even had some inlaw chillen murdered by some klan.

I'd venture most of those right wingers who are allegedly protecting the southern heritage are only there to raise hell and spill blood.

You may be right...and you may be wrong, at this point there isn't enough information to make an intelligent decision....what I'm disturbed by is the race to label SOME of these people as a threat while others we label "civil rights" groups...that the media and the goverment are racing to shut down free assembly over this stunt just as they are racing to shut down free speech ...look at Canada and Europe.....you think it's a goverment plan to start a war...maybe it's a goverment plan to kill freedom of speech and assembly.

They stand as reminders of historic events. I know you well enough to know you believe erasing them is a sin, because without them to remind us to examine & understand history we are doomed to eventually repeat it. They are a reminder of over a half million American Lives lost in a struggle to preserve the Union & abolish slavery. It was also the first war on American soil instigated by the London Bankers to economically enslave the the American People resulting in an assassination of an American President.

Those monuments are more important now than ever lest we repeat the mistakes of the past.

".The Victor writes History"---Winston Churchill(another dead white guy)...I do not view the war the same way as you.I don't buy into the crap sold to us by the Federal goverment school system....before the federal goverment gained so much power in our schools the war was taught in the south from the perspective of the Confederacy, and it was called the "War of Northeren Agression" I see alot of merit in their point...you see the war was about slavery, I think it had far more to do with the destruction of the idea of the Republic, and they over reaching power of the federal goverment.

If the BLM crowd really were opposed to symbols of slavery it they really gave a shit...then they would be tearing down symbols of the DNC..if they really fwere so upset they would try and tear down symbols of the Political Party that in both the North and the South that lobbied for and supported slavery...the Democrat Party, and because they don't it leads me to believe they are not at all interested in the issue of slavery...for God sakes slavery is alive and well in Africa today and not one of our so called civil rights groups gives a rat's ass about it.

There is plenty of information to make an intelligent decision as long as one doesn't let one's own personal preference or narrative color said decision. I'm right that there are parties on both side that are sincere and there are parties on both sides that are there only to raise hell.

I don't think it's a government plan to start a war but starting a war is part of the gub'min's plan to kill freedom of speech, assembly, ETC.
You're stuck at our freedoms of this and that but don't look far enough ahead in the game strategy.

Perhaps somebody has a race to label some as civil rights groups and others not.
But in my opinion some of the citizens of Charlottsville are reacting to the loudest mouths.
"Unite the Right"?
It seems united enough to have elected Trump..the rest is rabble rousing.

I believe the statue should stay as a reminder and it is history that we cannot change, but can learn from. I do agree with you about the government/police state letting it happen so our right to assemble/speak freely will become extinct. I saw a lot of violence today and did not see any attempt to stop it, until the end, when it was too late. The government does want it to happen....a war, limit speech, gun rights, etc.....all of our freedoms are eroding.....and shit like this just makes it worse.

I believe it was about bankers instigating social division to create conflict, instigating war, loaning money to both sides, supplying both sides with arms, and resulting in power from creating indebtedness and weakening a rival power.

The Southern Democrats calling it the War of Northern Aggression is about as accurate as calling today's events about White Supremacy. The Term is purposely mis-applied & used to foment racial division. To misrepresent facts to illicit a desired response. To weaken both sides. To create opportunities to control the narrative & manipulate morons.

This dialog is exactly why we need the statues. That exchange of perspectives benefits us all.

Exactly...you just let us know that you're on the same side as most of us here (except Cromwelll who is just a communist troll)
but a bit more level headed as well as experiencing first hand that a bunch of troublemakers from out of town are making your usually quiet southern town entirely too noisy.

The cops have all been told to stand down.. but cops don't usually volunteer to break up mob violence either.
BTW, there are many loudmouths on both sides that are there only to make money.

Here I'll mention that PJ Watson and the 2 black chicks Silk and Lace are making money from running their mouths on youtube.
There is no patriotism involved or they wouldn't care about being demonetized.
If Alex Jones was prohibited from selling vitamins he'd shutdown infowars.

I don't agree ...it was a war of Northeren aggression...the issue of slavery could have easily been solved without a war...the North wanted a war pure and simple.Do you seriously believe that our goverment wants us to contemplate for a moment, that they instigated a war to steal our rights and to fill the coffers of the bankers...oh no we had a noble cause to go around murdering people on a mass scale.

I disagree. Doing nothing makes it worse in the long term. Fighting is ugly in the short term but pays dividends in the long term.

Hazy is full of shit. The government does not want the violence. If "they" do, they are dumber than a box of rocks. In the end, the people always win. Governments are overthrown.

The government has been on the slow roll of taking freedom for many many years to get to this point. They would like for it to continue to go in a slow roll as there was little resistance.

It's common sense.

You don't crack down on people all at once, they'll revolt. You take a little at a time. The boiled frog method. That's what we have.

A chemistry professor at a large college had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab the Professor noticed one young man (exchange student) who kept rubbing his back, and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter. The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country’s government and install a new communist government.

In the midst of his story he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked, ‘Do you know how to catch wild pigs?’ The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said this was no joke. ‘You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again.

You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat; you slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught.

Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity.

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening to America. The government keeps pushing us toward socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. While we continually lose our freedoms — just a little at a time.

The government does not want to suddenly crack down(martial law). That's not good for the government. They want to slowly catch the pigs and let them accept their captivity. They've been doing just that for many years and they want to continue. Hazy's "they" does not want the violence. It ruins their catch in the same way a couger killing the pigs would ruin catching them peacefully.

Maybe Hazy is used to the fences.

no you did the same shit to Time just a couple of weeks ago,
No, I did not do the same thing to Time at any point..but it doesn't surprise me that since you can't argue yourself out of a paper bag or stop yourself from being ignorant, rude, hostile, or stupid,
you'd bring up my disagreement with Time..
You feeling outnumbered by little old me that you need to try to involve Time?

Go back and re-read my exchange with Time then compare it with your exchange with either me or Gypsy.
The only similarity you'll find is that I urge both you and Time to be respectful.

LOL...good point...I doubt the riots in Venezuela are being welcomed by Maduro....
As usual you're wrong.
Maduro just like the "shadow government" here welcome the opportunity to bring out the water cannons, push the citizens around, and further consolidate his power.
Damn but you're naive...
