What's depressing is that people such as that man and yourself see violent and destructive urban upheavel on the news, and you disengeniously dismiss it as the work of fringe political activists. You decry the logic of people destroying their own neighborhoods without considering the alternative of them instead destroying yours.

Maybe just an "annoying liberals have been marching for 8 months straight, now its my turn" march?

And they picked a neo-Nazi, white supremacist march to latch on to? They don't believe in any of the "ideals" that the neo-Nazis believe in, they're just chilling on a weekend?

Please stop intentionally conflating liberals/conservatives to ANTIFA/Nazis.

Again, I saw one or two people wearing Nazi gear. I think its possible you may be doing the conflating here, and since you weren't there you certainly have no idea.

With weapons?

"What took place was not a rally. Who wears paramilitary gear and carries automatic weapons to a rally? Who takes shields and helmets and pepper spray and bats and sticks to a rally? The car didn’t “crash”— it was driven at full speed into a crowd of counter-protesters.

What happened in Charlottesville was White nationalist extremists inciting a riot."

I didn't believe Make America White again. I related it to our foreign policy, our weakness as a country, and the direction our country was heading.

I thought Law and Order pertained to illegals and the murders of some, the gangs, the burning down of cities. We can't have a war with cops. The people calling to kill cops and outright assasinate them are bad.

Again things need to change but Law and Order includes White Supremeists being taken out. Simple

I completely believe you that this was/is your interpretation of the phrase "Law and Order," but it shows an ignorance of the history of the phrase which has always been racially coded language aimed at the white middle class. This is why much of Trump's rhetoric has been incredibly dangerous. It is a dog whistle to the white supremacists and subtly moves the general right-leaning public toward sympathizing with that sentiment, especially in the "go my team" arena of our current politics. It goes hand in hand with the criminalization of blackness in our country (which I understand is a radical phrase, but there is a lot of evidence to back up it's inclusion in the realm of fact).

How many of them carried weapons. One or two, or all of them? Same general question, you're characterizing a large group of people by a few anecdotes.

The chant they were making the night before "Blood and Soil" is a Nazi chant. Hundreds of them were chanting that.
 
Fuck white supremacists and those who tacitly endorse them.

If conservatives see Nazis vs. liberals on TV, they have to figure out how to justify that their politics line up with Nazis.

Did you not see pictures and videos from the event?
 
Trump is about to say something. It's a bit too late.

Not being able to immediately attack Neo-Nazis and white supremacists shows a great deal about Trump. This isn't the first time Trump refused to condemn white supremacists.
