Opinion of the Charlottesville counter-protesters

[Gay Republican]

Before I answer, are they the same ones that lit fires on the Berkeley Campus because of some guy speaking?

You mean the ones that prevented this exact thing from happening on their campus?

Let's stop violence with more violence!

Well we now have evidence that when this approach is taken, nazis will commit vehicular manslaughter against counter protesters so...

Yes because a pretty controversial gay conservative or a blonde bimbo with a Texas Public Schools education on the development of Civil Rights going to speak at Berkeley Campus is comparable to a large gathering of white nationalists protesting the removal of a confederate monument in Charlottesville with violence.

Okay. . . . . . . . . what?

For the record I voted FF.

The involvement of "Antifa" supporters has been way overstated and even they didn't react violently until the neo-confederates started things.  Clearly that's self-defense.  Not to at all defend their previous records of vandalism, bombing banks and other sh*t but in this instance they were clearly in the right.

You really think that 1. there is no overlap between the alt-right and nazism and 2. nazis won't show up to "demonstrate" at a Milo/Tomi Lahren rally? Of course they will. These types play follow the leader. All it takes is one "rogue white nationalist" to decide that "antifa scum" should die for counterprotesting before we see a repeat of this.

I don't think there is absolutely no overlap.  Obviously there is some, but if I'm reading your posts so far on this matter it sounds disturbingly authoritarian.  DO you really think that blocking any effort for any person or group to speak in public is going to end well for your side?  And do you really think that reacting violently, like the supremacists in Charlottesville did, is the only way to prevent fascism from taking over the country?
