Protest in my home state
If there was a Stupidity Olympics, it might well look like what the world saw in Charlottesville, Virginia this weekend. Idiots came from all over to participate in the Games, with oversight (and we use that word in every possible sense) and rules administered by as striking a bunch of ideological nitwits as you could ever hope to assemble in one place.
It isn't easy to comment on exactly what happened because the incendiary
events became perfect fodder for alleged journalists (and politicians)
to say whatever the hell they wanted to whether it was factual or not. Hurricanes only wish they had this kind of spin.
According to the mainstream media, Donald Trump's enthusiastic embrace
of Nazis and the KKK inevitably manifested in a White Power hate rally.
And when lovable Leftists peacefully protested, a number of them were
deliberately mowed down by the speeding car of a White racist causing
one death and many serious injuries. So horrific was the racist violence
that a police helicopter fell out of the sky just from watching the carnage,
causing the tragic deaths of two officers - but upping the tally to "3
killed in violent confrontations" in reports throughout the entirely
delighted media.
But that's not exactly what happened. Although truthfully, we don't know exactly what happened (how could we?) but do know a lot of things are being underreported and misreported.
• The "Unite the Right" rally was planned ahead of time in coordination
with the ACLU, a proper permit was obtained, and no matter how odious
the nincompoop group's views might be, they had a First Amendment right
to assemble peacefully and speak.
• Officials of Charlottesville (along with Virginia governor and
longtime Clinton hack, Terry McAuliffe) presciently "predicted" violence
before the event, perhaps because they were welcoming the imbecilic
armies of Antifa and BLM with open arms - after which they illegally
(according to an actual judge) tried to move the event before revoking
the permit entirely. Unsurprisingly, and perhaps intentionally, chaos
ensued.
• Antifa and BLM came looking for violence, then caused it - throwing
stones and water bottles, pepper spraying alt-right types, and
occasionally just beating people bloody (although in fairness, some in
the "Unite the Right" crowd clearly came to rumble, too). Seemingly, the
police did little to stop this and might (we emphasize might) have been instructed to step back to allow some politically useful carnage to take place.
• A 20-year old loser who might (we emphasize might) be a
Nazi-sympathizer drove his car into a crowd at high speed. If it was his
intent to injure people, then he is a terrorist - no more, no less -
and should suffer the appropriate consequences.
In other words, every aspect of this clash of the dunderheads was a
fustercluck of the highest magnitude. Hateful cretins of many races,
creeds and colors came to clash - influenced far more by the media's
rhetoric than anything ever said by Donald Trump, and certainly not endorsed by the President in any way.
A couple of important points: the imbeciles who really are neo-Nazis and White supremacists are despicable, but there aren't that many of them. Happily, inbreeding shortens their life spans.
Unfortunately, with the intent of forcing Donald Trump out of the White House, the mainstream media continues to turn up the heat and create the illusion that the majority of Americans have pledged allegiance to one pin headed side or the other. By doing so, they maneuver citizens (albeit hopeless ignoramuses) into gladiatorial combat, with actual bloodshed - no matter who caused it - seen as a victory.
And nothing that happened in Charlottesville is more sickening, or more frightening, than that.
