White nationalists are clashing with police and counter-protesters at a demonstration protesting the city's decision to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from a public park. A "Unite the Right" rally is also scheduled for noon.

Wait, wait, wait -- I know for sure it was only the radical left that clashed with police. Everyone know the radical right are well-behaved, upstanding citizens!

How do you tell if someone's probably a white supremacist?
When you propose removing statues to the Confederacy, traitors that launched the Civil War because they literally lost an election, and they freak.

The noon rally was cancelled and the Governor declared a state of emergency, according to the NY Times. The Governor said it correctly - "a right to speech is not a right to violence".

A four way battle between snowflakes, Klanguys, MS13 and Bloods would be entertaining.

For things to be funny there needs to be an element of truth.
We've had gang shootings break out at peace marches in Omaha (!!!!) of all places. Jesus Fucking Christ . . . .
