Did Charlottesvilel mean anything?

"Not all KKK members or Neo Nazis get violent" 

Please tell me this is sarcasm?

A good mafia boss always knows how to get their minions to do their bidding without ending up with any credible evidence pointing at them.

It is the same tactic a street gang leader will do getting under age kids to do their dirty work. They know if the kid gets caught they are less likely to point the finger and wont get punished as harshly.

Shouting fire in a theater doesn't mean you actually lit one, but if people are taking you seriously when you do that, you can start a stampede. 

The KKK and Neo Nazis cannot be allowed to get away with, "I didn't tell them to do that". I it is the same tactic Islamic radicals use to get lone wolves to do something, inspire from a distance without a direct connection.

Again, I think you have to condemn people for what they actually do, not what you think they might do, or even what you think they probably did. If there is collusion toward a crime, you need an investigative unit to dig up the dirt, and then the feds can go in with arrest warrants.

What nobody yet has demonstrated is that the protesters at Charlotteville were actually doing more than marching around in their Superman underwear with Tiki torches, protesting against the removal of a statue which they didn't want removed.

I mean, I know they're contemptible fucks, but if that were a crime, 90% of Americans would be in jail right now. So what facts actually exist by which those people should be condemned?

So we have people defending white nationalists (Not bringing up the fact of what they were chanting while holding said torches ) By saying white nationalists  (an inherently violent ideology ) are not all bad . Amazing .

If you're responding to me, given the sensitivity of this issue I'd ask you to respond to what I actually say, not what you want to pretend I said. I'm not going to be demonized because you don't know how the quote system works.

What I said is I don't know if those white nationalists were actually doing anything criminal or violent. I don't know what they did or didn't chant, whether they did or didn't make physical threats.

If they were holding tiki torches and chanting "Keep our statue. Southern history matters," then I'd understand and I'd probably support them. If they were chanting, "Death to niggers! Burn them in their houses!" then I'd expect them to be jailed, and right quick at that.

I'm not supporting them. I think they're dicks. But if everyone I thought was a dick had to be in jail, then who'd be left to make me my bagels in the morning?
