fights kept breaking out between the two sides all day; of course the police didn’t wade into the crowds, that would’ve made everything so much worse. the way this post is written – “they were beaten. they were maced.” – sounds like they stood there and took it, but all the reports say there were many scuffles, and a lot of the counter protesters came ready to kick ass and did so. there’s a reason you’re not supposed to use passive voice in journalism. there was full on brawling this morning.

the photo makes it seem like this little cluster of a dozen people was the sole holdout of human decency against an overwhelming tide of nazi horror. but there were a hell of a lot more than that, including a group of clergy and religious folks singing hymns to drown out the nazis.

you make it sound like the police were on the side of the nazis. according to fact sources, the whole city was pissed as hell at them, and in fact the nazis were protesting against the city’s decision to take down a confederate statue. the police were definitely not on the tiki torch assholes’ side.

two police are dead, by the way. a helicopter went down while on duty. no one has said why it crashed yet, which is concerning. two dead cops and you wanna think the police were defending the out-of-state agitators who brought a pitchfork mob to tell the city what to do with its statues?

you say “They were then forcefully removed by the police, who called them an “unlawful assembly.”“ – i found no news source describing counterprotesters being forcibly removed. it seems they were happy to leave once the nazis were kicked out of the park. and the final cherry on the misinformation cake: ‘unlawful assembly’ isn’t some mean name they got called. it’s the declaration that allowed the state to clear the park and streets, and they called it to make the nazis leave. by its nature it means everyone has to go home, but the governor and officials were very clear on the fact that they did it to give the police legal power to send the nazis home.

in short, charlottesville wasn’t the scene of an out-of-control fascist government beating up a small handful of nice people and letting the bastards run wild. it was the scene of a mostly left-leaning city universally furious at fascists, some psycho drove a car into the crowd (i notice you don’t mention that, the woman who died, the 20 injured), a police helicopter crashed, and you fucking better believe they’re 500% more committed to taking that goddamn statue down.

as are other cities. thanks to this fiasco, other cities are hastening to get rid of their own confederate decorations, lest they draw crowds of polo shirt wearing dick-wavers. so the nazis achieved the exact opposite of their goal.

In 2009, the attorney general for the island state of Tasmania stated that Australian wallabies had been found creating crop circles in fields of opium poppies, which are grown legally for medicinal use, after consuming some of the opiate-laden poppies and running in circles

In case anyone is wondering, here is what said crop circles look like.

“Eighty four years ago, after the sun set, my grandmother took out her camera before lighting the candles of Chag Chanuka and took a picture of her Chanukia facing a Nazi flag. I have the original picture and menorah. On the back of this picture my grandmother wrote in German, “Judea will live forever, thus respond the lights.” I have donated the menorah to Yad Vashem under one condition; Yad Vashem will only have it for 51 weeks in the year. Every year, during the week of Chanuka, I take the menorah that is in this box and re-light my grandmother’s Chanukia.“ Beezrat Hashem the light of this Chanuka will be lit for all the years to come. Chag Chanuka Sameach!

“Juda verrecke” die Fahne spricht “Juda lebt ewig” erwidert das Licht” “Death to Judah” So the flag says “Judah will live forever” So the light answers
