yeah so there’s a neo nazi/white supremacy rally going on in charlottesville where they are literally chanting “blood and soil!!” (an actual nazi saying) and the police are doing absolutely nothing about it. no tear gas, no national guard, no heavy police force,, these TERRORISTS are getting away with spreading hatred towards the marginalized and i am absolutely sickened
spread this like wildfire
Is that an actual picture of the event bc wtf that looks like half the campus
unfortunately yes, here are some more photos from the terrorist rally:
thankfully a lot of the students are against what’s happening on campus, but there’s something very wrong with this photo. the good guys are hiding their faces and the bad guys are not. this world is getting uglier to the point where human decency has to be hidden.
Some clarification: Not many students are even back yet, this early in August. Richard Spencer and the gang basically picked their timing to bus in these people to “take back” UVA, to when they could outnumber the opposition and look like they were really the dominant voice.
Pretty good summary I saw earlier on Twitter, from Megh Drummond in Charlottesville:
Not actually locals. 80% of Charlottesville voted for Clinton and we voted to remove confederate statues. Now we have the KKK here.
“What brings us together is that we are white, we are a people, we will not be replaced,” Spencer said at an afternoon protest, the first of two rallies he led in the town where he once attended the University of Virginia.
At the second rally, dozens of torch-bearing protesters gathered in a city park Saturday evening and chanted “You will not replace us” and “Russia is our friend,” local television footage shows. Spencer was not shown addressing that gathering, but he tweeted a photo of himself standing in the crowd carrying what appeared to be a bamboo tiki torch.
The evening protest was short-lived. About 10 minutes in, an altercation between Spencer’s group and counterprotesters drew police to the scene, and the crowd quickly dispersed, the Charlottesville Daily Progress reported.
So they waited until now, and brought in a lot more assholes with more tiki torches when they expected to find less direct opposition.
I’m from Virginia (unlike Richard Spencer), and there’s more than enough bad history there. But, I’ve been seeing some misinterpretations of what was going on here. When the whole thing was really set off by people trying to do the right thing with some of that ugly history, and get that monument taken down.
