Well we have to look at the behaviour of people, that is how we should judge them .
This was a peaceful protest, and legal . There should have been no violence, there would have been no violence if the legal rally proceeded without opposition and violence and abuse directed towards them. |

David Duke delighted at the President's latest clarification of his views. Does Mr Duke post on here?

Did you see the march of these Nazi scumbags and Ku Klux Klan on the Friday night at the University chanting Jews will not replace us? They came in from out of town to intimidate people and make a show of force. They beat innocent people up in town where they roamed looking for defenceless people to attack. In these circumstances people have a right to defend themselves. I am not one to advocate violence but that is the language they understand. |

by proxy, I think

Furthermore it was a peaceful protest with aims that were true and good , and the aims of the leftists and troublemakers on the other side were wrong and dangerous , imo

Sure the cancer was aggressive. But the chemotherapy was also aggressive. There was aggression on both sides.

wd if anyone uses violence, then they should be prosecuted by the law .
It is not illegal to be racist, it is illegal to be violent. It is illegal to be racist in a public office if that racism means you discriminate, Why was Shirley Sherrod not taken to court and jailed for misconduct in public office and racism Or was she, I had never heard of her until someone mentioned her. |
|
By:
Interesting you say it's illegal to racially discriminate in public office.

Oh for goodness sake pineapple, the USA can ban any country it likes from entering the USA.
And it can ban any religion. |

I know nothing about Shirley Sherrod You said it was a peaceful protest. It was not. Somebody drove a car at protestors in an ISIS style Terrorist attack. That person was from Ohio. You will see on the news today that some of those " peaceful " protestors were infact thugs who beat a man up in a car park because the colour of his skin was dark. These were the same people carrying shields and sticks with Nazi emblems in your " peaceful " protest. |
|
By:
Yes that's true, now lets arrest and fine or jail everyone involved in both sides at that rally , who where involved in violence ...everyone I have no problem with that.
|
|
By:
Now do you understand that the important word there is everyone.
|
|
By:
That's why I asked about Shirley Sherrod, was she sent to jail ?
|
|
By:
Well I have taken a quick look, it appears she wasn't jailed but was offered a new post by the Obama administration
What's going on here? I don't know. |
|
By:
Yes, a full time high paid job high level job,
And I thought the leftists deplored racism and that kind of behaviour . |
|
By:
I wonder what studyform makes if that , from his high and lofty moral ground ?

Lets see.

the moment you wave a nazi flag you endorse violence. To chant "blood & soil" is an overt belief in some insane concept
of racial purity and superiority over other humans based on ethnicity. The whole movement is predicated on the threat of violence but it was a "peaceful protest???" It wasn't even a protest, it was a nazi rally masquerading as a protest. No doubt you will call the HBO footage linked below leftist propaganda. The pattern is clear. https://video.vice.com/en_us/video/charlottesville-race-and-terror-vice-news-tonight-on-hbo/59921b1d2f8d32d808bddfbc |

By:
northernlite you haven't been listening , arrest anyone involved in violence.
On both sides. |
|
By:
You see people have always believed in racial purity, and at the same time they haven't believed in it.
Why do you think there are so many different races ? that didn't happen by accident. |
|
By:
lfc, what's your issue with Sherrod not being jailed and offered another job?

In these circumstances people have a right to defend themselves. I am not one to advocate violence but that is the language they understand. I saw the footage of those people with the torches. The stuff they were saying was terrible. If it is illegal to say those things in the USA they should be arrested. You say people were bused in and people have the right to defend themselves if attacked. I totally agree in self defence. When Neo-Nazis and KKK members use violence they should be condemned and arrested and the full force of the law used against them. Do people agree that we should also condemn counter-protestors IF they were bused in, came with weapons and used violence? Or do we give Antifa the right to come in and use violence as long it is racists they attack? |

In short, is it ok to 'punch a nazi'?

By:
she didn't help a white farmer who came to her for help. she deviously did just enough so that it would appear that she was doing something to cover up her racism and dishonesty should anyone become aware of what she was doing.
So this is someone who Obama reemployed in a high level high paid job |
|
By:
Now pineapple do you think she should have gone to court, or do you think Obama should have given her high paid full time job ?
|
|
By:
What's your source for saying she didn't help a white farmer? Are you referring to Roger Spooner (the farmer)?
|
|
By:
I quoted her words 21:15 yesterday.
|
|
By:
people were bused in, was that on both sides of the protest?
|
|
By:
How did the leftists and other assorted troublemakers get there?
|

By:
Yes Insider Trader it is ok to punch a Nazi if they come into your town or any town with the purpose of intimidating people.
Why you would want to defend them is beyond me. They would throw your wife over a cliff! There were two types of counter protestor demonstrating. Most who were not violent but just wanted to confront the Nazi's to show them they would stand up to them and others who are part of Antifa who where mask's and persue a violent conflict against these Nazi's. I will make this uneqivocal. I do not condemn those masked Antifa members who brought violence upon those Nazi's. The Nazi's bring violence and menace with them. I have no objection to anyone standing up to them. Personally I would not start a fight with anyone no matter how objectionable. I would however if attacked or someone being attack defend myself and defend anyone who was being attacked by Nazi Bully boys. You tell me why are you so keen to defend them? WHy do you defend their right to march into a town in military fatigues, guns, shields with nazi and white sumpremacist emblems, sticks and bats. Is that peaceful protest or designed to intimidate and provoke violence? I know you are an intelligent man but your defence of these scumbags is dishonest |

lfc - and have you since read the full transcript or seen the full video. Might give you a clue to why she was not jailed.
|

By:
I had a quick glance at it pineapple, that was enough to see that it didn't disputed that she acted discriminated in a racist way in public office , and she was devious with it.

Read this before. Think it should be adopted worldwide whenever fascists/white supremacists/Britain First/tomato/tomato types appear on our streets.
"In the small town in Germany where the Nazi leader Rudolf Hess was born, every year right wing activists have been showing up to commemorate his birthday. Counter marches didn't stop them. What really got to them was when people organised to sponsor donations on their behalf, treating their march like an AIDS walk. For every meter marched, there would be €10 donated to anti-racist organisations. People then turned it into a kind of sports event as they showed up with banners and music cheering the fascists on like 'thank you for marching for racial justice' and updating with bullhorns how much money the fascists' marching had already raised." |

I suggest you have a longer look and you'll realise how you've been manipulated by Mr Breitbart.

Do you know people can feel intimated by a group of hells angels coming into town on their Harley Davidsons
People are intimated , old ladies , the young, people, just the everyday people can feel that way about the hells angels And even , sometimes they might be right to be , they are fairly scary Until perhaps you talk to them . |
|
By:
Death,
I am not defending anyone who commits violence. Yet you refuse to condemn 'those masked Antifa members who brought violence upon those Nazi's'. Surely all violence should be condemned? Are you ok with White Supremists and the Redneck Revolt taking arms to the town that day? |
|
By:
I am sure fascists, and hells angels give to charity also pineapple.
|
|
By:
So pineapple I take it you think it is ok for someone in public office to discriminate on racial lines ?
|
|
By:
Just a hunch, Insider Trader: Obviously, alarm bells started ringing when you said that you had looked through footage of the Charlottsville protest for twelve hours, but then the thought occurred that you may work as a contribuitor to an idealogical website. Am I right?
|

By:
Then I'm sure they'll be happy to contribute in future. I've sent it on to a few lads up here for the next time British racist barnpots attempt to get further than Lime St again in the future. Frankly, if we were to all dress up in garish colours, do sponsored events predicated on their visit, accompanied by suitable music - as per their last trip - then I think it'll make it an enjoyable day for all concerned. Make it as fun and visible as possible and maybe raise some money for struggling ethnic minority groups. Everyone's a winner.
