To be fair to the people on Antifa's "side", I'd say its very possible for an actual liberal, conservative, or libertarian to peacefully protest Nazis, but then for Antifa to show up and cause a total shitshow that they had no intention of being a part of. It's pretty much like being part of a Freedom March and then Anarchists show up. I protested the Klan when they came onto Ole Miss' campus, and I'd sure as shite protest Nazis.

The other side does not have this benefit of the doubt since it was openly organized as a pro-white rally. It also had such notoriously awful people involved such as Richard Spencer, Jared Taylor, and David Duke. Gavin Mcinnes an Alt-Light didn't want to have anything to do with these people despite an invitation. I just think you have to be an incredibly shitty person to drive all the way over there for this shite.

You should listen to the Larry Elder show today.

He is playing statements by whites, blacks and even lesbians who were at the rally to support the right wing hate groups' First Amendment right to freedom of speech even though they abhor those right wing hate groups.
