Remembering Charlottesville

The events as told by those who were there, including the Nazis. Their statements are as stupid, bigoted, evil and as full of bullshit as you would expect.

Jason Kessler : Lighting torches is a protest tactic that has been used by all kinds of different people. To think that the KKK invented marching symbolically with torches is outrageous. The way it was explained to me was that it was a funeral march for the fallen dead of our European ancestors.

[Because criticism of the torches is why everyone was angry ? Methinks not.]

Christian Yingling : Thirty-two guys walking down the street in full body armour with semi-automatic weapons, sure, it's going to intimidate people. Was that our intention? No. We are a really community-minded organisation and we are trying to get out of that stereotype that militias are fat guys hiding out in the woods waiting for the government.

[The level of cognitive dissonance in that statement truly boggles the mind.]

Jason Kessler, organiser, Unite the Right rally : In the environment of sensationalism, and blaming only one side, it was good to hear the president mention that we had a permit. People don't know that.

[Actively choosing to give permission to Nazis to hold a rally is something no right-thinking person should ever contemplate.]
