You
would think that after decades of violence begetting violence, that
Americans would catch on. In the 60s and 70s, it was black
protestors. Violence. But since Trump was elected, it has been
WHITE protestors that cause violence.
On
August 12, 2017, Charlottsville, VA, Americans gathered to protest
the removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee from a downtown park. The
objectors had a permit. The white protestors (ANTIFA) did not. To
violently protest against another's free speech, they have to be
labeled. In this instance, they were labeled Nazis or KKK or white
supremacists. Now somehow the The Mercy Junction Justice and Peace
Center in Chattanooga thought being against taking a Civil War statue
down was not free speech. It ended with a frustrated man driving his
car into a group of cars, killing one girl and injured 19 others.
On
September 14, 2017, President Trump spoke against the protestors,
stating, the violence “Points to ‘pretty bad dudes’ among
anti-fascist protesters,” which drew a mild rebuke from South
Carolina’s Tim Scott, the only black Republican in the Senate who
met with Trump to discuss racial issues a day earlier.
In
Columbus, Ohio, when the KKK wanted to speak, the police put up
chain-link barriers, keeping speakers away from protesters. After a
few years of no violence and less crowds, the KKK stopped coming.
Communists
can speak and put on Peace Rallies in New York, but anti-communists
(Nazis) are not allowed to. You would think some Americans would
finally come to the conclusion that violence begets violence. Don't
go to these rallies. Don't provide the oxygen for the fire. This
isn't about protesting. It is about getting people hurt to make a
point and that is that 'America is not safe and we need more HomeLand
Security.'
If
we want to label a group that turns violent, let's call them
Liberals/Socialists/Communists/Democrat Hate Groups. They need a
name also that identifies them. It should not be one sided. These
violent protesters do not represent America.
