What part of this thread is about the legality of running someone over with a car?

... Nothing?

That dude is going to jail, probably for the rest of his life.

We aren't talking about that one incident of violence. We are talking about the entire grouping of thousands of acts of violence this weekend.

Nobody is defending Fields in my thread

And those weren't caused by 'multiple rallies' being allowed at the same time.

They were caused because one group was Nazis. Nazis bring violence. Every time.

uh...well you're technically right. it was mostly caused by illegal "counter protests" (so i don't know if they count as an actually rally instead of just mass instigation of violence).

the primary question is if this incident followed history and the leftist groups instigated the violence or if, for once, it was the groups on the right

let them have their own protest without interruption and i guarantee you there wont' be violence

and what about this?



there weren't Nazis at that event...and....violence

Absolutely not. We already had a discussion about Nazi values 70ish years ago. They lost that argument.

so are you saying we should do what....

outlaw their beliefs/speech?

use violence to stop them from speaking in public?

i'm asking seriously

i believe in the 1st amendment and free speech. i hate their message but believe they have every right to speak it

using violence to stop them is fascism

Belief in the Constitution. Except your plan for permits.

i have not seen confirmation that any of the leftist groups secured a permit to interfere with the march.
As far as I know this is the status quo. But they reserve specific places, they can't reserve the whole city and frankly that seems like more prior restraint than I'm comfortable with. The fisticuffs happen when they're on the way from one to the other.

honestly i don't think this would do much more than make instigators of violence more clear

but i think that distinction is going to become important moving forward

Protest them as loudly as possible whenever they choose to publicly display their hatred.

Nazis in this country are afforded the same rights as you are, son.

So are 9/11 Truthers, birthers, progressives, and communists.

Speech is free, or it isn't.

Peaceable assembly is free, or it isn't.

Your suggestion to the contrary is disturbing.

Legally (hooray, 1st Amendment).

And they did not use violence, that would be the Nazis.

Our police forces are going to be under political pressure to police the "fascists" and to give the "leftist commies" free rein.

I think we might be able to use C'ville as an example of this. Facts seem to indicate that the police withdrew from the scene after Antifa showed up.

In any event, the entire affair was a massive failure on the part of the authorities of C'ville.

Yeah, it seems sort of interesting how this is basically lost in the "story" here.
