WTF is going on in Charlottesville

qwertvt · 08-12-17, 03:08 PM

I wonder how Washington and Lee responds? This is an elite university started by Robert E. Lee.

The question is, why is the city removing a statue that's been there for 100 years? I live in Lee County, no-one complaining here. Sometimes this constant need to politicize everything causes more issues than it solves, and the selective nature of such is always amazing....Lee statue down, but Lee homestead ok (Arlington National Cemetery). General Lee bad, General Washington good (Washington, Jefferson, etc were slave owners).

Lee was a well documented objector to slavery citing it as a political an moral evil, and thou he inherited slaves he subsequently freed them in 1861, 3.5 years before the EP...conversely Union General Sherman was very conservative on the slavery subject and was known to be one of the few northern slave owners....yet no-one is tearing down his statues.

Everyone latches onto a cause looking for 15 minutes in today's social media age, but their ignorance and failure to comprehend historical settings and politics of the time is embarrassing to them and the country's a whole.

If these pussy liberals want to be outraged about statues of people that have been dead for 150+ years, then yeah I'd probably choose taking down Sherman's statue before anyone else. He's probably committed the most "War Crimes" of anyone in the history of the US military. A basic burning, pillaging, raping brigade across the entire south.

"Witnesses said that people let the car through because it didn't have any plates on it and they thought that it was a Police Officer"

Well, let the rumors start.

Apparently people recognized the car.

Recognizing non revisionist history and using logic is way too much to ask for the lefties on this site, much less a bunch of lefty protesters.

Well, there you go. Crazy if this is true.

We are created equal with GOD given rights. We are Americans. These stories are brought to ignite, instead unite. Help one another in love and humility. Righteous anger is understandable and wanting better for the country as a whole has to be the objective. (And should be for all parties) .. there's only one America.

I got to thinking, I don't know the plate laws in Virginia. Do they require both a front and rear plate on the vehicles? Maybe people didn't see a front plate and that was what they meant.

Liberals just can't let a different group rally without having to join, and turning it into a riot. Fckin morons. Who the fck says, 'hey, I don't have anything going on, wanna drive down to some town and protest this thing.'

They have been covering the shit all day. They're talking to a Virginia Democrat that is from the House of Delegates right now. Jesus.

Had a poor older reporter walking around getting teargas in his face all day.

So many lefties are like this. Just spew easily exposed lies and remain unfazed to continue doing it

Booya711 · 08-12-17, 05:15 PM

combined IQ at this rally between the protestors and whiteys not even 100....its a shame that all there weren't killed...would have made this country much smarter

nothing wrong with population control of the weak and useless

As all CNN, and others are doing is complaining about Trump. Per the usual. This is his fault, somehow. He didn't say white supremacy so he must support them. Though, he condemned bigotry, etc. They will spin anything against the guy, it's sad.
