Hundreds to converge on DC for anniversary of Charlottesville rally
By Emily Birnbaum - 08/11/18 06:06 PM EDT

Hundreds of white nationalists and opponents will stage dueling public protests in Washington, D.C., on Sunday, marking a year since similar demonstrations turned deadly last August in Charlottesville, Va.

White nationalists for months have been fighting among themselves over how to stage their August 12 "Unite the Right 2" rally, even while a broad coalition of civil rights activists have coordinated expansive counter-protests.

The permit for the "white civil rights" rally estimates there will be up to 400 attendees, but experts warned The Hill this is likely overblown.

"[These neo-Nazi groups] are pretty famous for overestimating their turnout and backing down when it turns out that there’s a really massive response to what they’re doing," Mark Lance, a professor of justice and peace at Georgetown University, told The Hill. "So it would not surprise me if it was a very small turnout."

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Only NBC?   Typical under achievers. They really aren't trying that hard.

So, of the three guys, they say nothing about the guy on the left except that he was in the security area, the enormous guy in the middle in the tie-dyed shirt was buying razors, which is a prohibited item, and the guy on the left was drunk and wandering in the security area.
