    ALL political violence is wrong and should always be called out. No one gets a free pass.

    That must be why your side needed LARPer Militia yesterday, to protect them from those people they ran over.

    While that as a standalone normative argument is correct, it is not what youve tried here. You basically tried to say "this certain violence is wrong but there is other violence happening too". Thats relativizing. There should be no "buts".

    A black eye on America...unfortunately

    Why stuff like that is allowed to happen? If a group of black people had guns at a similar rally, they would have been gunned down already, yet white supremacist gets a pass.

    That's the "holy crap" point. Even someone who supports 45 is calling it terrorism. There are only 4 people I'd be more surprised at calling this terrorism - Cruz, Sessions, McConnell, and Ryan.

    One side wants universal healthcare and inclusion while the other wants to go back to Jim Crow, same thing though.

    Gonna pick this apart a bit...
    While I appreciate the sentiment and identifying accepting what it is called (terrorism), there is still level of acceptance of their position as being legit.

    The statement indicated that everybody does it, which legitimizes the White Nationalists. Additionally, one side was clearly showing threat by bringing shields...and openly carrying guns/rifles.

    CCJ - America does stuff in the Middle East so the 9/11 attack was justified.

    How about a few of us drop by for a few years and talk about it? Canada might need a refugee program soon.

    These poor boys. I hope they had citronella in those BBQ torches. Mosquitoes can be a nuisance this time of year. Of course, tear gas works too.

    Which is why it took three decades to convict Byron de la Beckwith, right? I agree with your sentiment here. Its just a bit of a delayed reaction is certain parts.

    It's One America for Trump when his side does it, and Two Americas (Good and Bad) when the other side is at fault.

    That's always what's puzzled me. What the hell's wrong with being anti-fascist? You're damn right, I'm anti-fascist, just like I'm anti-commie.

    Oh the irony that an orange putz, reading from a statement says We Americans must all love and come together.

    And yet he is taking people who believe in their hearts that they are Americans, living here, paying tax, raising families and being good citizens and dumping them somewhere in Central America because they are illegal Americans.

    Or he doesn't have time for people yearning to be citizens because they will not earn six-figure salaries upon arrival.

    Eff him.
