re: Does your opinion of Charlottesville change if Heather Heyer died of a heart attack?

Like the protest the night before that had no violence or death. The question is, who benefits the most from this?

Late Friday night, several hundred torch-bearing men and women marched on the main quadrangle of the University of Virginia’s grounds, shouting, “You will not replace us,” and “Jew will not replace us.” They walked around the Rotunda, the university’s signature building, and to a statue of Thomas Jefferson, where a group of counterprotesters were gathered, and a brawl ensued. At least one person was led away in handcuffs by the police.

The march/protest on Friday night did turn violent. Fortunately no one died though.

No.

The frick kind of logic is that?

The statement from the President of UVA mentions the violence on Friday night too.

If that is true, it sounds to me like the white nationalist idiots were confronted with violence. Not the other way around.

It sounds that way because you want it to.

It sounds the other way to you because you want it to. See how this works? What gives the counter protesters any more right to be there than the white nationalist people?

your post points to another rather important tidbit in this event and MANY others over the last several years-- violence NEVER occurs at these events until the "counterprotestors" show up-- and 99.999999% of the time, those counterprotestors are left wing groups.

Can you give any recent examples of protests by any "right wing" groups in which they were the ONLY group(s) present AND things turned violent or property and businesses were destroyed?! I can give NUMEROUS for the left.

Is that her in the circle? Because the clip you linked makes it pretty clear she was not struck by the car. Am I missing something here?

I'm not the one claiming to know who started the violence on Friday night without any supporting evidence. Nothing I've read points out the white supremacists nor the protesters as instigators, so I've refrained from assigning blame for that particular brawl.

You read a vague statement mentioning violence and automatically point to the side you don't like. At least you are transparent about your biases

It's not hard with basic reading comprehension skills to read that article and come to a likely conclusion on who instigated. Perhaps it's your bias preventing you from doing that.
