    I am sure if the waffen schutzstaffel had been resurrected from the dead and marched the streets of Charlottesville Blues would deny Nazis were present.

    Thank you, WW2 has great interest to me but from the military side (war gamer) not political. Had never seen that symbol
    "In Nazi Germany Odal rune was symbolic of the Blut und Boden (“Blood and Soil”) ideology, focusing on a concept of ethnicity based on descent and homeland. "
    And had not seen it in display in the reports I saw.

    People don't seem to grasp how these fringes propagate. Extreme ideology (idiology) is always driven by persecution complex. Violent, direct confrontations, and broad condemnations of people not necessarily sympathetic to extremists provide fuel for the persecution narrative. Not a fan of separatists, secessionists, etc. But persecution complex is what these people thrive on.

    So you don't want to talk about what actually happened and who was involved in ALL the violence.

    Not with you, it's like ramming my head into a wall, & not any more this AM, since thankfully, I think I'm going to be able to sleep soon.

    Maybe L8r, I'm off today anyway. Ciao for now.

    EDIT:

    My bad, LOL, My turn for a bad quote!

    Oh, so you're an equal opportunity totalitarian who pisses on the Constitution across the board.

    Who shouldn't be allowed to assemble, Kode? Perhaps a prog list of acceptable speech would be useful here.

    Who organized and planned and instigated the violence in order to shut down a political rally of those they opposed.
    As I said actions over symbols, who was actually behaving like. Nazis as I have pointed out at other leftwing riots.

    BOTH sides have blame in this incident. To ignore one of them in order to attack the other is folly. I hope the DOJ investigates BOTH sides amd anyone on either side who planned violence or to deny the right of someone else to peacefully demonstrate should be charged with a criminal civil rights violation if that is what their investigation shows and lets put an end to these violent response to political opposition.

    Wouldn't you agree?

    I've already condemned violence on all sides, quite different then everyone posting here, it seems.

    ANTIFA and BLM are, IN MY OPINION, racist groups who incite terroristic violence. They haven't murdered anyone, yet. I don't submit that ANTIFA and BLM however are to blame for this murder. Them being there is one thing. Him choosing to drive into a crowd is another.

    However, them planning a counter protest does not exculpate the criminal scum white supremacist hitlerphile. He chose to drive into that crowd and ended the life of an innocent woman.

    I am sad there is no hell for him to rot in for all eternity.

    Yes it is, just got an Oculus Rift and have to check out the sim types on it. Silent Hunter Battles of the Atlantic current sim type. Lot of different strategic and tactical games.
    Never seen that symbol but as I said not into the politcal aspect of the Nazis so much, just their generals who left alone would probably have been undefeatable.

    What's your favorite tank?

    Hard to pick. I really liked the IS-7 until gold rounds became a thing... Now I prefer mediums - Obj 140 is a lot of fun - really like the T29 as well for tier VII. The 183b is fun just for the Trollcannon. You?

    The only person to blame for the murder is the murderer. Its the violence that led up to it that needs to be discussed and needs to be stopped so it doesn't end up happening again perhaps on the alt-left side next time whose riots HAVE produced not only the property damage but injury too and I believe there has been at least one death but trying to serach that out right now is just going to load up with page after page of this incident.

    We already know why the violence is being perpetrated - far left Marxists are inciting it - part of their vive la revolucion! movement. The far left Marxist extremes are using the emotions of people to their advantage - the vast majority of protestors on all sides are non-violent people.

    I do think he needs to be called a terrorist so the appropriate charges are leveled.

    In the USA? There is a fringe to everything. But there's no active presence of left wing extremism in the US.
