Police didn't do much. That's because the Nazis showed up carrying bats, shields and guns and the cops copped out.
Heather Heyer was killed yesterday by a terrorist

I can think of a few neo Nazis who are in the White House today in America.
Keep talking like that and you're virtually guaranteed to give Trump a 2nd term.
You didnt learn from the first time, did you?! :doh:
The racism is rooted as much in poverty and the opiod crisis as anything. When people don't have hope they will turn to this kind of thing as an answer. The US gov't has utterly and purposely failed a swath of the population.
And this is the backlash.
"The angry young white male". Their well paying factory jobs are gone. They can't compete for university admissions against Asians, females and affirmative action blacks and Latinos. Quotas restrict their upward mobility in the workplace.
Something needs to be done to ease the fears and concerns pf these young males. Why is this happening? What is causing it? How do we fix it? Demonizing them is not the answer.
I don't think this guy was a terrorist.
I think he's a piece of shit and I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life. But a terrorist? I don't think his aim was to induce terror in the populace. He's a simple minded fool who just wanted to kill people who were not racist pricks like him.
Watching the news yesterday at what was happening in Virginia and the absolute fucking CHAOS that has become the United States of America reminds me yet again how lucky I am to live in Canada. It's tragic what has become of the United States (or maybe it was always like this and it was simply being held together by the minority of people, the thinkers, the so called "elites" who kept poking their fingers into the cracks of the dikes until there just were not enough fingers left to stem the tide and now they are swamped.
Sad for the USA

Oh you mean the Nazis smashing windows on cars with base ball bats and pipes,...those Nazi's.
As much as I DESPISE neo-nazi's (and I'm Dutch, so trust me I have every reason to after WW2), these are the facts:
1. The Neo-nazi rally which was planned ahead of time had received a permit from the city to hold their event
2. The anti-fascists left-wingers who showed up did NOT have a permit to hold their rally.
3. Its pretty clear the Lefties (who had no right to hold their own rally there) came to cause trouble, and there's good indications they started the violence.
4. As much as you can hate Nazi's, they have every right to have their own opinion and hold their rallies in a democratic country. As uncomfortable as that is for most people, thats a cold hard fact!!
So really, who's at fault in all this?? Who started all the trouble??
EDIT: slight correction, a judge ordered that the rally could go ahead.

A simple minded fool who wanted to kill those not like him. That seems to me to be a textbook definition of a terrorist.
In the past when non-white immigrants arrived in the USA, they were virtually penniless, but were willing to start at the bottom, work at minimum wages, put themselves through school and gradually move up the ladder. Many of them started their own businesses and made sure that their children had the best of education. There is a certain amount that the Government can do, but they cannot just say ohh, the coal industry is dying or there is a huge surplus worlwide, so the demand is not there, but we should invest in it. How can you regenerate that industry? The people should readjust their lives to gain other skills, and not just run to join an extremist organisation that promises them hope, and try to victimise the visible minorities. Unfortunately, this is more likely to what is occurring in the USA.
And the funniest part, one of them looks like Elton John's slovenly younger brother. Does Steve Bannon skip and jump and have buttered scones with tea?
This film couldn't come out at a more opportune time, a much needed black comedy.
Among the cast Steve Buscemi as Khrushchev, Michael Palin as Molotov and Jason Isaacs as General Zhukov.

Maybe we can solve the problem by sending a very large shipment of free Fentanyl to Charlottesville.
