White supremacists and counter protesters clash in Charlottesville

[Rev. Rye]

You know, the sad thing is I actually think the people protesting the removal of the statue of Robert E. Lee at least had a point, if only because Lee was more or less the anti-villain of the Comfederacy, someone who personally did not seem to approve of slavery or secession, but only did so because he loved Virginia too much to draw arms against her (even though it turned out that the legislature voted against it, and they decided "to hell with it" and seceded anyway).

Of course, this doesn't even come close to justifying the horrible shit that's actually happened. A statue of the token good teammate of the Confederacy is not worth all this horseshit. But, hey, at least we know what memorial to replace General Lee with.
