    And they're coming right atcha!!!

    http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/ent...ght_uk_598ee393e4b09096429733ce?utm_hp_ref=uk

    Torch-bearing mob marches through a VA university's grounds spouting shit like "Jews won't replace us" and "White lives matter!". Oh, and surrounds a church filled largely with black worshippers. Did I mention the torch-carrying bit?

    Meanwhile there's a larger rally planned today whose guest list reads like everyone who failed to get the memo about Nazism back in 1945.

    Jesus fuck, Southerners, sort this shit out.

    #1: Torches? Those are $5 tacky tiki torches that you buy pre-filled with citronella from Wal-Mart.

    #2: They're wrong. History will show that they're wrong. But, it's their right. How we treat speech we abhor is an important indicator of the health of our society.

    #3: The moment any of them do anything even remotely illegal, they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

    what do you mean by "southerners?" :shrug: Augusta is very much "in the south" but they don't have these right-wing rallies around here. Guess our shit is sorted out. BTW most of the people here wouldn't consider Virginia "the south".

    #1 - :lol: That clears up the mystery! I was wondering where the hell somebody even finds a torch these days! True about the rest - if they have a permit or otherwise aren't breaking any laws we as a nation/state have to allow the demonstrations.

    Virginia is traditionally part of the South (capital of the Confederacy, after all) but more and more it's becoming a suburb of D.C.

    What sparked this protest? SJW's were butt-hurt over a Robert E. Lee statue, so Charlottesville decided to take down the statue. There's now a pending court case and the statue still stands and guess who are the violent ones, Antifa.

    You know what no one can muscle up with a straight face?

    "No! The alt-right are noble, and pure, and good, and they fight for a cause that is just, and wonderful! The endgame for their agenda will be a world that is kind, and compassionate, and chock full of equality and diversity, and worth living in!! Because (insert evidence)".

    Nope, they go right to "yeah, but the SJWs...", or "they're too dumb to get into TOO much trouble. Right now it's just adorable shenanigans".

    Only if "twat" is considered an identity. As one, would you consider it hurtful to have to list it on official documents?

    So "SJWs" now includes "people who don't like the idea of glorifying someone who fought for the right to own other human beings"?

    Ah, well. As long as it's a lemon-scented hate mob, that's OK.

    If only the Klan had thought to wash their robes in jasmine fabric softener.

    Oh, and there are reports that the group kicked anti-racist protestors and hit them with the torches, plus tried to grab cameras filming them, so stuff that non-violent argument. Richard "Swastika" Spencer has himself confirmed that the group surrounded the protestors at the Robert Lee statue and wouldn't let them out.

    The protesters should have been shot down in the street.

    The only good Nazi is a dead one.

    You're not an American if you're flying a Nazi flag or support anything to do with Nazism.

    For issues like this I try to read the mainstream media and not partisan media because sources like Huffpo often deliberately lie and misquote. I notice CNN, USA Today, and others quoted them as saying "You will not replace us" not "Jews will not replace us" as the Huffpo falsely claimed.

    With white nationalists there is tons of disagreeable shit they spew so why not focus on that stuff instead of making up fake stuff like the Huffpo did? I mean talk about a target rich environment; there is a huge amount of truthful things you can nail these guys on.

    I share the sentiments though disagree with the shooting people on the streets part. Unless things turn into mass violence, of course.

    I would like to see some videos of the altercations to see who, how many, and when people got violent. I do know the self declared "antifascists" (who are just as violent and detestable as the alt right) often start violence. I would hope the dip shits from both sides get arrested so the violent asses from both groups end up on the legal system.

    Robert E. Lee did not fight for the right to own other human beings, he fought for the protection of his home, much like many confederate soldiers.

    Absolutely not, they should be arrested if they're being violent. Their speech should be protected as much as anyone else.

    He may have not fought for his own personal right to own people but he certainly fought for a system that wanted to own people. That makes him as bad as any slave owner.

    Are you an idiot?

    Yes. Yes you are.

    I've never supported slavery or the Confederacy. Go find a spiritual medium and ask Muad Dib.

    Never ceases to amaze me how after over ten years the leftists on this board just keep assuming non-leftists on this board are such things.

    Just stop. Just because Zombie is a conservative doesn't make him a Nazi supporter. That is beneath you.

    Just because most of us aren't Nazi supporters doesn't mean we want to see them shot for exercising free speech.

    I agree. If you read the thread you might notice I said that. It was Zombie, the guy you insinuated was some how a Nazi, who was saying Nazis should be shot.

    I mean your post was so off the wall wrong you really should rethink your position.

    This isn't free speech. This is a group of people trying to get a evil system of government into power.

    These Nazi's are no different than Islamic supporters who claim free speech gives them the right to call for the death of non-believers.

    They should be shot too.
