Holy shit, it wasn't a mistake. The idiots did intend to take down the statute of President Andrew Jackson.

Just curious what you think is a "textbook snowflake"?
You're quite the little profiler, aren't you?
And I'll give you some examples of what I think is a White Supremacist Nazi murderer called Fields. And then we can discuss what's more egregious - killing another human being? Or losing your shoe while kicking a statue?
Congratulations, Aardie.
Looks like you're getting a little legal "win" for your team on a week which featured multiple injured and a death from the Fields terrorist attack. Glad you got a consolation prize, buddy. Gives you something to smile about on the way to work tomorrow.
Are you drinking? These aren't cogent arguments. Come back when you've slept it off.
And they should and they did.
Get rid of the confederate cause through law, not through vigilante justice.
The American south always had a long history with lynchings.
Here, they continue with that tradition.
At least, there is some progress. Usually only the white people did the lynching, but there is some black people joining in with the lynching in the video.
The diversity, that is a positive.
:apathy:
Let's see. Lynchings were hate motivated attacks that killed or injured people because of their race. This "lynching" was vandalism of a symbol of that same racial hatred where absolutely no one was injured. Sure. Same thing.
When was the last lynching? It was more than 35 years ago and the culprits were dealt with under the law.
The current police chief of Charlottesville is a black man. Anyone who says that race relations have not improved is an idiot.
So, why keep opening old wounds? "Let sleeping dogs lie." Why keep poking at it? Don't we already have enough current problems?
BTW: The Lincoln Memorial was vandalized last night.

The old wounds are still there. Just ask Dylan Roof. He's the one that caused the trend in removing confederate memorabilia. Fields will be the guy who seals the deal.
Does anyone know if either one of them is descended from, or closely related to, anyone who served in the CSA or CSN?
Why would that be relevant?
If the issue is the continued victimization of Blacks - and it certainly is with Roof - wouldn't the continued enhancement of the Confederacy Myth as embodied in the statues and the Battle Flag be the point in issue? Not Roof's precursors.
No one is saying that he's Jeb Stuart's great great grandson and he's carrying tainted blood.
^ Because there seems to be a strange confusion and mixing in many of these threads of Southern Heritage/Pride, the K.K.K. and Neo-Nazism.. Is some Neo-Nazi from Ohio, really speaking for descendants of Confederate Veterans?
Now it is possible he is such, then again it may be that he has no more connection than fly to the moon, and that he is merely a hijacker.

General Robert E. Lee served honourably in the U.S. military until his home state was viciously invaded and attacked by the Union Army as ordered by President Lincoln.
I would not be surprised at all if many white Southerners served honourably in the U.S. military since the end of the Civil war protecting the Constitution of the United States.

You're not getting the main point of the debate, counsel. Everybody else outside of the WH and the righties on the board "gets it". Including the entire fucking leadership of your own political party. You don't get it. I'm trying to help you here.

That would be no surprise at all. One such would be General George Patton.
One of the ironies of an all volunteer military and the Base Closure and Realignment Commissions is that the U.S. military is has for the past quarter century been more southern than at any point in its history.
I disagree. Most of America "gets" the following:
1. Murder and assault are both wrong, but by saying so, one is not saying they are "equivalent". Trumps opponents are using the term "moral equivalency" incorrectly. Some people might be fooled by such word games, but not enough to make a political difference.
2. Venal white supremacists have the same right to free speech and assembly as nice egalitarians do (in the US). They both cross over the line if and when they engage in violence or incite a riot.
3. The "never Trumper" wing of the GOP is still alive and well. They may not be so alive and well after the mid-terms.
