Nothing wrong with what he said.

We cannot impute motives for this person actions.

Nor can we say that an entire race believes the same thing and impute this persons motives or thoughts across an entire race or larger landscape.

Where have you been? The driver has been crucified on here and the group he associated with since it happened. You know "guilt by association ".

The alt right is evil incarnate. Trump should have denounced him because of who he hangs out with.

Right??

I don't understand how those words got you so upset.

It's going to get a hell of a lot tougher than this before it gets better.

And maybe because there weren't any of the White Nationalists nearby to see how they would have responded, but I remember the videos and interviews with the people actually marching in Dallas, and there was shock and trauma abound.

In fact, they interviewed this young black man, who probably gave a better response than any leader we've seen, and he was praised here.

So it was easy to look at those supporters in Dallas, and see that it was not some prevailing belief to murder police, as they were witnesses and victims of the ordeal themsleves.

And I wouldn't have been surprised if there were members of the White Nationalists groups there when it, that they would have reacted and helped the counter-protestors in response. Most of these beliefs get thrown out the window in situations like this.

That being said, we don't have that same raw real-time reaction that could have made it easier to see that the person contributing the act was not representative of other's, who could never do such a thing.

I would be unfortunate if those were Trump's words.
