    Charlottesville Police Stood Down: "We're Leaving, It's Too Dangerous"

    People were throwing soda cans filled with cement…

    Of note, "Unite the right" held a rally which was legally organized with a permit from the city, as was their first amendment right to do so, and Antifa showed up with cement-filled cans and other weapons with plans to violently protest the event - creating a dangerous atmosphere which the police did nothing to control.

    Stand Down

    The ACLU confirmed that Charlottesville police were ordered to stand down, which allowed the KKK and Antifa to meet face to face with no interference.

    ACLU confirms that police were given stand-down order. This invited the violence the city used to shut down a court-permitted protest. https://t.co/FQUhcYaIIm

    Some have suggested that the violent atmosphere and lack of police presence was a factor in the decision and ability of 20 year old white supremacist James Alex Fields to drive his 2010 Dodge Challenger into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing 32 year old paralegal Heather Heyer and injuring dozens of others.
    Ok, so that made it OK to drive into a crowd with the intent to hurt/KILL as many as possible, in order to help "take the country back". Ah, ok then.

    I heard some initial reports that he simply panicked when his car was attacked. We'll see how this shakes out. Also some chatter about him being mentally challenged so, yeah, that makes more sense to me. A bunch of goons attacked him, he panicked..

    You need to stop feeding on everything CNN throws onto your plate, it's junk food for the mind.

    If the mayor had the police and National Guard stand down he will most likely be the target of civil rights violations. I hope they lock him up, he was way to smug on grinny on the morning TeeVee.

    By promoting riotous behavior he got people killed.

    “It was really surprising, I mean I knew him,” said his neighbor, Jacob Woessner.

    “He just kind of blended in,” said Ford.

    But not everyone says this is a shock.

    “When we covered World War Two and the rise of Hitler, he would say Hitler’s views are right,” said Derek Weimer, a history teacher who taught Fields at Cooper High School in Union, Kentucky.

    Weimer says Fields was openly a Nazi sympathizer. He spoke in class about wishing Hitler had won and created a white supremacist empire. Weimar says hearing he is accused of being driver the this horrific and deadly crash is personal.

    “I would challenge him to think a different way I always told him the U.S. has a multi-racial society. Throughout our history we had people from all different countries forging a national identity. I thought at times I got through to him, but obviously not,” said Weimer.

    "As of June 2017, the Department of Homeland Security in New Jersey lists Antifa as a domestic terrorist group, claiming that they "incite violence."[5] Members of the group have defended acts of violence committed by other members."

    Kinda sounds like some liberal groups and Black Lives Matter. But you'll never hear them called out on it by the liberal politicians or liberal press. There is SO much hypocrisy in how this is being portrayed and the liberals rioting was portrayed. It's disgusting.
