| State Police Helo crash deaths now linked to Charlottesville White Nationalists |
| 2017-08-13 |
| [The Hill] Three people were killed and 19 others were injured during a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., turning a day of violent demonstrations into a tragedy that rocked the nation. One of the three died after a car mowed down a group of protesters. The two other victims were Virginia State Police Department officers who were in a helicopter that crashed nearby. The University of Virginia Health System said 20 people were brought to the hospital Saturday afternoon after a car plowed into a group of people protesting near a popular pedestrian mall in the college town. One died and the rest were being assessed and treated for injuries. The helicopter crash happened a few miles outside of Charlottesville and it was not immediately clear what caused the crash. Virginia State Police said Saturday that the helicopter crashed in a wooded area near a home around 5 p.m. The crash is being investigated and it is unclear if it was tied to the protests. |

| #26 We are not sure why the helicopter crashed, but we are going to go ahead and put the number killed by the protests at three. Unless someone was purposefully trying to take down the copter, it is a tragic work accident. |

| #22 OK, kids, here is a story from my Berkeley riot daze in the late 1960s. Well the riots were on and the aroma of tear gas was wafting through the air. The police had a Bell 47G2 helicopter flying through the area, monitoring all the |

| #18 So you had a bunch of so-called white supremacists spoiling for a fight. The police underestimated what they would need for resources to handle this event. How much intelligence did they perform on the participants? They got a permit. The police did not separate the groups. And who did not look into the other side willing to join the fight? Who backed them? The news hounds just talk about the riot. They never go into background or causes. Welcome to the propaganda state. Got an agenda? Go for it. |

| #17 p.s. Anybody want to bet that it won't turn out that the driver hit the gas after being mobbed by antifa crowd? |

| #16 A little too elegant, John. Perhaps 'professional agitators'. |

#14  Any similarities of the symbology are purely coincidental. |

| #13 So, a 'White Nationalist' is what exactly? Anyone who fails to subscribe to communism. |

| #12 So, they were all Nazi-Lites? I bet a majority were just pissed at the history (good and bad) revisionism and the constant belittling and spitting on the race that did a lot of the work in Western Civilizatuion. You know, the one with toilet paper, microwaves, freedom of speech and all that shit |

| #11 Claims I read suggested the arrested person had a Facebook page that had all sorts of White Nationalist garbage on it. Assuming they got the right Facebook page (the article had a lot of weasel words). Sometimes its easier to tell motive than others. |

| #9 #8You have to be impressed at how quickly the authorities were able to determine the driver's motives. Usually, it takes a lot longer. Posted by: Matt Should've shouted "Allahu Akhbar". They'd still be conjecturing in 2020 |

| #6 ...you sort of have to wonder just exactly what constitutes a 'White Nationalist'. It is anyone who disagrees with or speaks out against the tyranny of the Dems/left and happens to be white. If you happen not to be white and a conservative, and speak out against the tyranny of the left, you get painted with a brush similar to "White Nationalism." You might be called an "Uncle Tom" or other some other choice term of endearment (sarc). In other words, it is a phrase that the left uses to demonize opponents. "Nationalist" has become similar to sexist, misogynist, homophobe, xenophobe, Islamophobe, racist and all the other names used for name-calling and to shut people up and cut-off the debate of ideas. |

| #5 So, a 'White Nationalist' is what exactly? Judaism <----> Christianity Zionism <----> White Nationalism |

| #4 At a time when expensive Ivy League and state colleges offer for-credit courses on Ending Whiteness, White Privilege, etc you sort of have to wonder just exactly what constitutes a 'White Nationalist'. Keep in mind the people doing the defining are the same ones telling heterosexual men they MUST like, admire and sexually pursue transgender individuals. So, a 'White Nationalist' is what exactly? |

| #3 So this had nothing to do with the people who wanted to tear down statues in the first place or showed up for the counter-protest? And BLM had nothing to do with the cop deaths that resulted during the years when "O" fanned the BLM flames with his rhetoric? I guess Dem Governor McAuliffe wouldn't think that. Jackasses. Now, Trump is being criticized for not doing enough although he did strongly condemn the Charlottesville riot. Let McAuliffe, a member of the smartest people in the world criminal cabal, handle it. Let's see how good he is at dealing with such things. |

| #2 The crash is being investigated and it is unclear if it was tied to the protests. But it was listed as such in your article title and on TeeVee by your feckless 'all convicts should vote' Dem Governor McAuliffe. |

| #1 Notice how 'white nationalism' is conflated with 'white segregationists'. Just as the same perps conflate illegal and legal immigration, and natural climate change with man made climate change. Not to mention universities are already engaged in black segregation in dorms and programs. Make them define 'white nationalism' to see what they're really saying instead of accepting an amorphous catch all. |
