"...maybe you should watch the group marching through town with torches Friday night." - And which group was that, do you even know, was it the smaller group who planned a peaceful rally for the preservation of the hisorical statues and monuments, or was it the group that outnumbered the ralliers by more than three to one, who attacked them physically and violently, and then when the samller group started fighting back in self defense, you blamed them for the violence? They did the same thing on the Berkley campus in California, marched with torches through the campus with fatigues and black clothing, wearing masked so they couldn't be identified when they started destroying public and private property, and physically attacking anyone and everyone that they found that didn't agree with them and their agenda, then stopped the speaking event that was sceduled because the speaker was going to talk about things they didn't like or agree with, just as those same types of people (liberals, progressives, Democrats, BLM, 1%ers, and AntiFa) attacked the peaceful ralliers in Charlettesville.
"If you deplore what they say, than when are you going to stand up and say that you do?" - I have many times over on all these OPP sites in the last two days, go back and read some of my posted comments to find the truth, but I also said those being attacked are American people who have the right to say what they want, even if you and I find it detestable, because if we don't like it, all we have to do is quit listening and walk away, for there is no need to attack Americans who are exercising their constitutional rights, if they are doing it peacefully, which in this case they didn't get a chance, because the people who disliked them and detested what they stand for, attacked them, and then blamed them for the violence for fighting back in self defense.
"They also could have come to town in t-shirts and jeans..." - That they could have, but you could also dress in the manner that I like, instead of what you want to, but it's not my job to attack you because you don't dress the way I prefer. You just hate it when people have different views than yours, and refuse to do and act as you want them to do, but if you keep getting your way of attacking people because they are different than you, and believe things you find detestable, the day will come when someone finds you in the same way, and will attack you for not believing as they do, and not doing as they want you to do, and that will then be well deserved, for what goes around comes around. You apparently hate to let people live their own lives and believe whatever they want, especially if they don'y believe as you want them to. Good thing you weren't there, for you would probably have attacked them too, no matter how innocently they were marching in rally of their cause of saving a couple of historic statues and monuments.
"They chose uniforms, helmets, and carried bats." - It's a damn good thing that they did, or else they would have been slaughtered by the attacking group that had numbers at least three times greater than their own, and also armed as well, if not better. Had they not been attacked, you'll never know if they would have had a reason to use that gear they brought with them, just as the rioters in Berkley had brought to their planned protest of free speech by a conservative, so did their attackers in Charlottesville.
"They are hardly a friendly reception party...or a group interested in a deep intellectual discussion." - They weren't there for a reception party, or as a group for a deep intellectual discussion, but to simply march in a peaceful rally showing their support for the historical statues and monuments, but were attacked by a crowd more than three times their number, and when fighting back in self defense, gives you a reason to blame the violence on them, when had they been left alone, they would have done their march, made their speeches, and be gone by the next day, if not even sooner, but you people who hate them for what they stand for, which you claim is hatred, instead attacked them for your hatred, but are too stupid to see the irony and hypocrisy of what was done to them, and what you say about them.
I agree, the white supremist, KKK, and alt-right stand for what I consider deplorable things, but that is their right to do so, and we don't have to attack them for it. BLM, the 1%ers, and the AntiFa (which was part of the attackers, and attacked a reporter there because the AntiFa guy who hit her in the face, knocking her to the ground, thought she was taking pictures for them, which the liberal biased media refuse to report on, because it proves the white supremist, KKK, and alt-right people were being attacked for no reason, and doing nothing to provoke the attacks) also stand for deplorable things, but I don't see them being attacked for what they believe, the killing of cops and white people, yet I'm not going to attack them for what they believe and openly espouse, for I just don't listen to them and I leave from whereever they instigate their violence and rioting, which they always seem to do. So where is your condemnation of them, for they are really worse than the white supremist, KKK, and the alt-right, for they do kill people and destroy public and private property in what they describe as protests, and physically harm those who don't agree with their agenda, and deny people their constitutional rights, unless you agree with their agenda.
Your a 'HYPOCRITE' because you don't even know who the real attackers were, and are mad because those you detest fought back in self defense, because you hate them for what they believe in, which is every Americans right to do, believe in whatever they want, as long as they don't harm others by implementing their beliefs on others. It seems your ID name is very befitting.

Who gets to judge...you state: .."I deplore what the white supremacists, KKK, and alt-right stand for....."
If you deplore what they say, than when are you going to stand up and say that you do?
They also could have come to town in t-shirts and jeans in a bus, and they might have gotten a different reaction. They chose uniforms, helmets, and carried bats. They are hardly a friendly reception party...or a group interested in a deep intellectual discussion.
