Promulgated by fake news.

The extreme left has a huge cheerleader in it's corner.

Yeah also that guy that tried to kill the republican congressman doesn't represent the left.



Or the terrorist shooter in Baton Rouge about a year ago.

Most right protests were peaceful in the face of violent antifa throwing rocks, burning things, and shooting fireworks into crowds.

Eventually the extreme right was going to answer them. Charlottesville is what happens when reason is put aside.

Um, Republicans in at least two states have introduced legislation that would clear the driver of a vehicle hitting protesters of any liability.

BLM immediately denounced both shooters


How can they when they are an amorphous organization with diffuse leadership?

You mean some BLM members denounced the shooters?

The spirit of this law is not an invitation to mow down people. It's a protection of drivers who may hit protesters whose only goal is to block highways that they have no permits to protest on.

It also doesn't apply to the state in which these people were hit and is a moot point.

Maybe im nitpicking here, but are you forgetting something or is it just a freudian slip?

Yeah, he's justifying the drivers actions. That's totally his point. Nice attempted deflection. Now run along and let adults talk.

What little leadership they had immediately denounced what happened, as well as a ton of people who associate with them.

How much more of a denouncement would you like? They are more of a hashtag than an organization.
