Really? I agree the courts will handle it. I don't agree violence and murder (or domestic terrorism) are equal. I see that President Trump is angered with the removal of the Confederate monuments. I agree that we should not remove our history. But it doesn't give any person or group the right to mow people down the same way terrorists do. And President Trump should be able to acknowledge the difference.
I don't agree with terrorist acts either.
I listened to the presser (on infrastructure) and the questions afterward, two of which were actually on infrastructure, the rest on Charlottesville. Silly me, (and I am no Trump fan), but I thought he decried all the violence, on both sides (which would include running people down). He also said he wanted to have all the facts. We don't know much about that except that the guy behind the wheel had posed with the White Nationalists holding a shield and wearing a white shirt (although, iirc, they claimed he wasn't one of their usual number). I don't claim to know who the guy is, really, beyond the stuff people have posted, and know that what he did was just. plain. wrong. I don't need Trump or the Media to tell me that, nor does the rest of America.
But what really distresses me is that the takeaway optics on a(n intended) peaceful protest to retain Confederate monuments are of torchlight (KKK style) parades, violence in the streets, and some goon running people down. Which means either the original issue gets lost, or worse, it gets conflated with neonazis and the Klan running down women in the streets.
None of the violence is justified, except those who acted in self-defense, but had the City Commission set this up a little differently, moving the antifa and BLM people to another venue (and keeping them there), or even another day, there would have been a lot less violence.
