| Charlottesville, Virginia (CNN)One person was killed and 19 were hurt when a speeding car slammed into a throng of counterprotesters in Charlottesville, where a "Unite the Right" rally of white nationalist and other right-wing groups had been scheduled take place, the city tweeted on its verified account. Not sure if was the right or counter-protest side that was rammed. Right-wingers were there to protest the removal of a Confederate monument. |

| #6 Welcome to the Bleeding Kansas phase. They shoot a congresscritter and kill a councilman, the other side gets agitated. Their rhetoric hasn't lessen since the shootings. |

| #5 The KKK, an invention of the Southern Democrats, go full nutz against AntiFa, an invention of the Northern Democrats. A weird little civil war. |

| #4 The idiot behind the car was a Bernie supporter and ran into the wrong crowd. Maybe we need to start locking up Bernie's supporters. |

| #2 See, that makes me wonder if this guy is really "Right-wing". I have a hard time believing a Right-winger would damage his Dodge Challenger like that. It's a NICE car. |

| #1 Very last part of the CNN article at the link. Doesn't sound all that Hitlerite to me. Jason Kessler, who organized Saturday's "Unite the Right" rally, said he doesn't consider himself to be a white nationalist. But, he said, "we're going to start standing up for our history." "The statue itself is symbolic of a lot of larger issues. The primary three issues are preserving history against this censorship and revisionism -- this political correctness," he told CNN Friday. "The second issue is being allowed to advocate for your interests as a white person, just like other groups are allowed to advocate for their interests politically. And finally, this is about free speech. We are simply trying to express ourselves and do a demonstration, and the local government has tried to shut us down." |
