A person has died after a car hit protesters
I see this forum's first thoughts following a rally in which Nazis took to the streets shouting "Jews will not replace us" and rammed a car into protesters, killing at least one person, are "well, at least it's not Obama" and "be a bit more specific about the location please"

It's better than more ''Racist Paedophile Grooming Gangs'' threads or any threads blaming every problem in the World on ''the Muslims''.
Trump, his lack of sense and intellect and the right-wing dumb-asses who believe a word of his self-serving lies should be a great concern to everyone...........until he's removed from office at least. Trump's provided them with the ignorant, ill-informed mouthpiece they've long craved and since he's been in power all he's done is chipped away at American Democracy and the backbone of America, the constitution. The man HATES democracy.
The real problem Trump and the majority of other Obama haters had was the colour of his skin.

I'd be interested in reading/hearing about what actually happened in a nonbiased way. I don't trust Twitter, not after a free speech event which was crashed by violent leftists turned into "Nazi Trump rally attendants attack anti-racists"
Multiple Republican senators are now tweeting things along the lines of "this is domestic terrorism", "we need to combat white supremacy" etc (even Farage is in disbelief that there are people doing Nazi salutes in 2017, as if he's totally innocent of fuelling stuff like this). The President, on the other hand? Not only makes sure to emphasise that there's violence "on both sides", but stops mid-speech to talk about what a good job he's doing at reducing unemployment. Prick.

Sadly, for Trump, his pathetically weak response to the sutuation (via 'tweet' of course) didn't appease the racists.
''David Duke, the former KKK Grand Wizard who supported Donald Trump during the campaign, tweeted the following reply at Trump: “would recommend you take a good look in the mirror & remember it was White Americans who put you in the presidency, not radical leftists.” Trump has spent the past two years getting ahead politically by stoking this kind of radical racist hate, but as of today it appears to be finally catching up to him.''

Whereas a decent President would be deeply concerned by this you can bet Trump is hoping that the weather will be good for golf tomorrow and if anyone reminds him about this dire situation he'll probably revert to the ''anything that distracts from my impending downfall/prosecution can't be bad''.
He's probably more worried about not alienating any of the Racist/Neo-Nazis that make up his already pitifully low 36% approval rating.

Why would you predict that a liberal would kill someone over a Nazi do you really think they are worse
Also, it wasn't a case of protesters blocking a car (not sure where that idea came from): a car literally accelerated towards a moving crowd of counter-demonstrators and mowed them down

I believe it was 'Oliver W' who said he'd do the same if someone was blocking his car. He may have added ''and attacking'' to apparently justify purposely killing people. If it wasn't just made up/assumed then perhaps he got it from an ureliable and incorrect source.

"Let's wait and see" says the man willing to bet that the car that purposefully accelerated towards a moving target (a group of counter-demonstrators) belonged to a counter-demonstrator
Maybe mistaken identity, who knows? I'm just taking a guess. Just like you.
I mean, when your strongest guess is "mistaken identity" rather than "maybe the group walking the streets chanting about how they want to kill another group actually tried to do exactly that", that's a hell of a lot of effort to defend Nazis

A more educated guess would be that the literally Nazi targeted the people protesting against them
But as you said it's not 100% confirmed yet so i could be made to look stupid but I highly doubt it
Who's defending Nazis? They're scum, whom both my Grandfathers fought against, why would I defend them?

The driver of the car is in Police custody apparently.
From The Independent;
Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer, who confirmed one person had been killed, said he was disappointed the white nationalists had descended on his town and blamed President Donald Trump for inflaming racial prejudices with his campaign last year.
"I'm not going to make any bones about it. I place the blame for a lot of what you're seeing in America today right at the doorstep of the White House and the people around the president," he said.

They were Americans protesting the removal of the Robert E Lee statue. It would have been peaceful (and largely ignored) if it wasn't for the violent leftists that always go to these events to provoke violence.
BTW, Robert E Lee was not just a Virginian and Southern hero, he was an American hero beloved by North and South. He opposed slavery and secession but couldn't stand by idle as his state Virginia was being invaded by northerners.

Trump, his lack of sense and intellect and the right-wing dumb-asses who believe a word of his self-serving lies should be a great concern to everyone...........until he's removed from office at least. Trump's provided them with the ignorant, ill-informed mouthpiece they've long craved and since he's been in power all he's done is chipped away at American Democracy and the backbone of America, the constitution. The man HATES democracy.
The real problem Trump and the majority of other Obama haters had was the colour of his skin.
I was and am not a Trump supporter. However those who hate Trump seem to be blinded by their hate and unable to see that Obama was not a good president. Now he really DID seem to hate democracy. His mis-use of public funds and his association with The Muslim Brotherhood is disturbing to say the least.

Its a FECKING FACT
It IS a fact. For months now Antifa the group who supposedly are anti fascist are the most fascists of all. They always go armed and with their faces covered, because they intend to break the law. Antifa were there too. I'm not excusing whoever drove that car. It was a cowardly action, but wherever you see antifa gathered (usually funded by George Soros) there will you find violence also.-

Then why would you automatically assume that it was a "leftie, anti-Trump supporter" and not a white supremacist or a Nazi?
Maybe because he likes to see both sides of the story before making up his mind?. It's usually the sensible thing to do, instead of making assumptions without proof.

Just passed through but didn't stop to get processed obviously. So much ignorance on display!:facepalm:
60 seconds on google will tell you who was killed by the guy in the car and who the guy in the car was who drove his car at innocent people.
You say you watched the clip so why didn't you bother to actually learn any news from it ? The crowd were counter-protestors who were there to protest against a large 'Nazi/White Supremicist' rally. They were carrying large Nazi/Swastika flags and assault rifles.
Obama was far from perfect but he did more good in his time in office than Donald Trump could even dream of. Trump is now and always has been a corrupt, dishonest, self-serving imbecille. He doesn't even understand the most basic political principles let alone how to run a country!
Please tell us more about Obama's ''mis-use of public funds and his association with The Muslim Brotherhood'' please. I'd love you to share your 'wisdom' with us.

I agree. This is a common thread with many of the Leftist groups. Feminists for example scream about white male 'rape culture' yet never say a word about the real rape culture, which is islam, where women can be beaten just for refusing sex with their husbands. Or little girls having their genitals mutilated. Yet these are two huge crimes against women.
As for antifa, the biggest hypocrites ever, who go around calling patriots nazi's and fascists. They are the biggest fascists going. At many of the rallies, THEY are the ones with weapons, who start violence first and cause chaos wherever they go.

Its all about power shift. We've seen these creatures before in Greece and Rome, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, fascist Italy and former Yugoslavia. This is exactly what happened to old societies and its happening to us now.
As for the U.S, racist, violent and despotic forces have always been a part of the American landscape. Throughout American history, we've seen such people tolerated and even empowered by the state to persecute. What we are witnessing and the reason this mould is growing is because of the recent power shift. When democratic institutions cease to function, when the consent of the government becomes a joke, despots fill the political void.

I think there might be something to this. If the driver wanted to cause the most deaths why drive into the back of a car? Driving directly into the crowd would have maximized deaths.

Keep looking to excuse the scummy racist murderer !
If he panicked and it was accidental he would have been charged with, at most, 'vehicular manslaughter' (i believe that's the term they use in the US).
He wasn't. He's was charged with second degree murder and attempting to flee the scene.
The ''baseball bat'' thing is his main 'evidence' yet it's clearly a jacket and the driver had already accelerated down the street initially by this point (which can be seenin the other viewpoint videos). That's why the person swings his jacket at the car in an attempt to slow him down.

Charlottesville violence: Fourth executive exits Trump council
A fourth executive has quit Donald Trump's American Manufacturing Council amid criticism of the president's response to a violent rally.
Alliance for American Manufacturing president Scott Paul said on Twitter he was stepping down "because it's the right thing for me to do".
He follows Intel's Brian Krzanich, Under Armour head Kevin Plank and Merck's Ken Frazier.
A woman died when a car rammed into protesters in Virginia on Saturday.
Mr Trump was widely rebuked for his initial response for not specifically denouncing the far right, instead ascribing blame to "many sides".
Bowing to pressure, the president issued a statement on Monday calling the Ku Klux Klan, neo-Nazis and white supremacists "repugnant" to everything Americans held dear.
"Racism is evil and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs," he told reporters.
He tweeted on Tuesday: "For every CEO that drops out of the Manufacturing Council, I have many to take their place. Grandstanders should not have gone on. JOBS!"
Mr Plank sent out a tweet on Monday condemning racism.
"We are saddened by #Charlottesville. There is no place for racism or discrimination in this world. We choose love & unity."
Ten hours later Mr Plank released another statement on Under Armour's Twitter account announcing his resignation from the advisory body.
"I love our country and our company and will continue to focus my efforts on inspiring every person that they can do anything through the power of sport which promotes unity, diversity and inclusion."
Soon after, Mr Krzanich announced in a blog post on Intel's website that he too was leaving the council "to call attention to the serious harm our divided political climate is causing to critical issues, including the serious need to address the decline of American manufacturing".
"Politics and political agendas have sidelined the important mission of rebuilding America's manufacturing base."
In an earlier tweet, he had also said "there should be no hesitation in condemning hate speech or white supremacy by name".
Both men in the past have expressed some admiration for Mr Trump.
Their resignations followed the departure of Ken Frazier, the head of drugs giant Merck, and one of only a handful of black leaders of Fortune 500 companies, on Monday morning.
Mr Frazier said: "I feel a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism."
"America's leaders must honour our fundamental views by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy, which run counter to the American ideal that all people are created equal."
In response, Mr Trump tweeted that Mr Frazier would now have "more time to lower rip off drug prices".
In January, Mr Trump had called on pharmaceutical companies to cut "astronomical" drug prices.
Other company heads have previously stepped down from presidential advisory councils in protest at Mr Trump's policies.
Former Uber chief executive Travis Kalanick left the Business Advisory Council in February over the Trump administration's immigration policies.
Tesla's chief executive Elon Musk and Walt Disney's chief executive Robert Iger left the President's Strategic and Policy Forum in June, after Mr Trump said he would withdraw from the Paris climate accord.
Mr Musk also left the manufacturing council.
Charlottesville violence: Fourth executive exits Trump council (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-40933391)
Took Trump 54 minutes to criticise Mercx CEO Ken Fasier when he resigned from the council yesterday, yet took Trump 2 days to effectively criticise the Nazi element at the rally on Saturday. Judging by his latest tweets Trump seems to imply he made his 2nd statement to keep people happy and complains they still are not happy.
Now two more have gone and Trump has again been quick to criticise them. When he's motivated he doesnt hesitate to take to twitter and attack. Why did it take two days to criticise the Nazi elemnt at the rally? :shrug:

Technically we are also to blame. We supported Israel's terrorism and condoned their ethnic cleansing of Palestine and had soldiers in their holy lands. But, most crucially, we let them in when we didn't have to. We can thank the Jews and their useful liberal idiots for that. We shouldn't be letting any Muslims in unless we know beyond doubt that they are coming for the right reasons.

So to blame the alt left is ridiculous. PEOPLE - everyday normal people - are fed up of these Nazis being aloud to preach tbis violence and hate so went against it - and so what if they get a bit violent I'm sure we can all agree if someone who wants you to literally die because of your skin colour was being aggresive towards you you would get violent too

The part i 'bolded' i wholeheartedly agree with but after that you revert to nonsense again.
''we let them in''. Everyone in the US is technically ''them'' apart from the relatively small population of native americans. You're all relatively recent immigrants and there's people who are descendents of other nationalities/religions who have killed far more people than Muslims or 'Middle-Eastern' immigrants have and do.
Apart from the questionable 9/11 the deaths from immigrant terrorists in the US is very small in the US every year, particularly compared to the number of people killed by US citizens!

If anyone does want to bring him down the better hurry up because he's going to bring himself down before they have the chance. His approval rating is the lowest in history and it's got there in a record 8 months!
Robert Mueller is preparing his case against him as we speak. He has a huge team of prosecutors and lawyers in place ready and has just put together a Grand Jury in preparation. If there were no charges coming they'd be uneccessary.

It's been known for a long time! His incompetence is demonstrated on a daily basis. He was also supported by KKK leaders during his campaign.
His father was a known racist and was even arrested along with several other KKK members when they attacked Police during a riot at a Clan gathering in 1927.
I'm sure you're aware that he's known as a felon and con-man in his home state of New York and is referred to as 'Don the Con'.
He has been accused of having sexual relations with underage girls and many girls who worked at the Miss World Pageants that he ran have accused him of innapropriate behaviour and walking into dressing rooms unannounced where underage girls were changing. He has repeatedly made comments about how sexually attractive he finds his daughter.
There were at least 10 women who had documented claims of sexual assault against him.
He alsododged the draft on many occasions by getting Doctors to say he had ''bonespurs''.
So you were under the impression that he was a good man were you? A bastion of society ?

I note you added who did they kill in Charlottesville so assume they have killed elsewhere.
As stated already the far right group had permission for an organised demonstration. If Antifa had not gone there with the obvious intent to cause trouble no-one would have been killed. Although the person that drove the car is ultimately responsible for what he did there is no doubting that without the left-wing presence stirring things up things would not have escalated so their presence was a contributing factor.

The Nazi's also said on their 'Daily Stormer' website that the woman they killed, Heather Heyer, was ''a fat childless 32 year-old slut'' and urged people to attack her funeral.
When have left behaved like this load of scumbag vermin ?

I get the feeling if he didn't win the election, these revelations wouldn't enter anybody's mind. Anybody else get that feeling?
But he did and what he took on is the highest job on in the world.
Here's what Chris Hedges ( an American journalist, Princeton Professor and author of many political books) has to say.
"Trump is the face of our collective idiocy. He is what lies behind the mask of our professed civility and rationality. He is a sputtering narcissistic, blood thirsty megalomaniac. His face in the past was hidden at least to most white Americans but with the destruction of democratic institutions and the disempowerment of the citizen, the oligarch’s and the Kleptocrats become brazen. They no longer need to pretend, they steal and lie openly; they wheel armies and fleets against the wretched of the earth; blithely ignore the looming catastrophe caused by global warming and cannibalize its nation. While at night, like some monster from the Grand Giaour, the idiot-in-chief, sits slacked jawed in front of a television set before opening his beautiful twitter account.
Forget the noise. The crisis we face is not in body. Public images of the politicians that run are just dysfunctional government. The crisis we face is the result of a four decade long, slow motion corporate coup d'état that has left corporations and the war machine omnipotent; turned our electoral system into legalized bribery and elevated public figures who master the arts of entertainment in artifice. Trump is just a symptom, he is not the disease."

If anyone wants to complain about the media giving Donny a hard time then they need to look at what some sections of the media did to Obama.
Talking of NYC, just watched a live interview with two of the 'Central Park Five'. I'd almost forgotten about this dark period in Donny's past. Look it up if you want to know the details but to summarise - Five young men (4 black one hispanic) were accused of assault and rape during 1989. Donny wanted these guys fried and took out ads in the four major New York papers but it turns out they were innocent and even when their innocence was establised thru DNA Donny still didnt buy it and still wanted them prosecuted. They are crawling into every dodgy thing he's ever done and said and frankly with his limp response to this crisis I'm not surprised.

Unfortunately all this **** is just human nature.We aren't that removed from our animal ancestors.
The factions we form are just like packs that chimpanzees and other animals form.
I saw a documentary a while back on chimps where a pack were out and they found a lone male and set about him.They stamped on him,ripped his bollocks off and mutilated him.It's a territorial animal intstinct.They do also show compassion and kindness.
It's why we have team sports(or mock wars).There are people who go to footy games just for the battle,Some don't even go in and watch the game.
In peace time many humans get bored and go to war with each other.We haven't evolved that instinct out of us yet which isn't surprising as we are still such a young species.
Humans need to learn the art of cohesive argument and debate to win their battles rather than hurting and killing each other.
We need to start listening to each others point of view and stop trying to surpress people's right to express their thoughts otherwise violence is all that comes out of it.Shutting peoples voice down only breeds anger and hatred and then the extreme elements rise up and take their arguments to the battlegrounds.
That's the only way we'll evolve.

I suggest you go and read what Stalin was up to while Hitler was gassing people. This what happens when people forget - or don't learn - history.

Unfortunately all this **** is just human nature.We aren't that removed from our animal ancestors.
The factions we form are just like packs that chimpanzees and other animals form.
I saw a documentary a while back on chimps where a pack were out and they found a lone male and set about him.They stamped on him,ripped his bollocks off and mutilated him.It's a territorial animal intstinct.They do also show compassion and kindness.
It's why we have team sports(or mock wars).There are people who go to footy games just for the battle,Some don't even go in and watch the game.
In peace time many humans get bored and go to war with each other.We haven't evolved that instinct out of us yet which isn't surprising as we are still such a young species.
Humans need to learn the art of cohesive argument and debate to win their battles rather than hurting and killing each other.
We need to start listening to each others point of view and stop trying to surpress people's right to express their thoughts otherwise violence is all that comes out of it.Shutting peoples voice down only breeds anger and hatred and then the extreme elements rise up and take their arguments to the battlegrounds.
That's the only way we'll evolve.
I agree with all that, so much.
I honestly worry for the future. We're killing the planet, we're breeding like flies so that in a few decades we're not going to be able to feed everyone, there are problems between black and white, black and black, white and white, Jews and... well loads of people... Muslims are killing people in the most barbaric ways - mainly other Muslims... We have a finite amount of trips around the sun and it's madness that people would want to waste that precious time fighting.

So true.We should be working together to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.:laugh:

I agree although I'd say this applies far more to some than others; it takes a very specific sort of person to "join a mob", or to start throwing chairs at each other because of football tribalism. I'm not just talking about slack-jawed sports fans either tbf, I lowkey would say the same about any march / protest / "mass group mentality" activity that involves squad psychology.
Is it the case that "the only way to evolve" is to allow everyone this, and to give every voice a platform? I'm not entirely convinced there. That sounds a lot like allowing the entire human race to be dragged down by the lowest common denominator.
The truth is... there is probably no way to evolve past this. It's a common misconception that "evolution" means "improvement" -- it doesn't. There is no right/wrong/morality to evolution... evolution is simply whichever group breeds fastest and most successfully and passes on their traits to the future population. That's it. No more, no less. And unfortunately... the people doing the majority of the breeding are not necessarily the intelligent, enlightened ones. For millions of years of human evolution, the number one survival trait was intelligence. If you were smarter then your neighbour, you were better able to survive, and have yet-smarter children. That's not really the world in 2017... the individuals best adapted to survival in the modern world are the drones / sheep who will not question their place in it.

What a really odd comment. What are you implying?

If you look at the quote to which I was replying maybe you'll get your head around it. If you still don't understand, let me know and I'll explain it for you.
I must have missed the Communist rally in Virginia this weekend. Was it the one where people took to the streets with torches and red flags in protest against a statue of Ethel Rosenberg being removed? The one where they started chanting "death to the bourgeoise"?
...in other words, yes there may be a very small militant left minority, but let's remember that the only thing that's really connecting those people (plus the many more who aren't on the far-left and are still vocally anti-Nazi) and driving them to take action is their shared opposition to the real life actual Nazis in America right now. You can't just say "but Stalin!" because there are Nazis involved and you want to prove that the left have never been as violent in history ever.

You can't say "everything on the Left is lovely, except... when the NAZIS!" either.
And hey, I'm not sticking up for these idiots on the right. Just trying to stop people imagining that anyone on the Left is a hero and nothing else, ever.

I can't believe that This can still happen in America - a country which is so diverse and supposedly forward has people shouting "burn the Fags" and attacking black people and they are allowed to do it! So ****ed up
I dont understand why the USA cant settle down and just get on with life?
Just learn to live and let live?

I'd love you to explain it to me because I'm flummoxed. You seem to be insinuating that whilst fascist Germany was gassing millions, Stalin's Russia was doing equally appalling acts and that we who sit on the Left, have some sort of hero worship with Stalin, just as the Nazi supporters hero worship Hitler?
If you’d said Lenin or Trotsky I would have understood but Stalin? Stalin was the enemy of communism. Stalin held hands with fascist Germany because like Hitler, he was a fascist. He bastardized all Karl Marx’s ideologies to create an imperialist state. He was a dominant totalitarian monster and just like Hitler, he's an enemy of the Left.
