As a point of interest, the "counter-protestors" were majority white from the videos I've seen. Not surprising given that Charlottesville is a majority white town. Always refreshing to see Americans of all races creeds and religions marching against nazis and the klan.

Ahaha nice. **** these *****. They release these statements to sound better than Trump not because they hate racists.

That the Robert E Lee highway goes right past the Pentagon is quality trolling.

I've accidentally clicked on politics 7.0 a few times. Its despicable and I don't know what the **** mason malmuth or mat sklansky are thinking with that one.

Something I've been thinking about, because I do it too, is we need to remove this
from our vocabulary. Because you do know, right? You just don't want to say it.

As I'm sure jman is well aware it's never 100%. See the cop in SC that shot the black guy in the back, tried to plant a gun on him and still got a hung jury. All on video too.

Also appreciate your insight in the state's side. I have A cousin who works in a PD's office and when he speaks generally about things I love to listen to learn.

Racism is supposed to be forbidden the forum fwiw.

Yeah, it is good, but of course whiteys shouldn't break their arms patting themselves on the back. Decent people of all races being totally comfortable protesting Nazis together in 2017 is just what should be expected.

P7.0 largely keeps the trash out of this forum.
Better question is why do you people read it and bring it here?

Valid.

Edit: No, I take that back. I really don't know. I"m jewish. They're jewish. I really really don't understand how any people of my religion can possibly still support Trump, given all that has happenned, even if they were somehow fooled around election time. He is continuously dog-whistling to and refusing to denounce nazis. The holocaust wasn't that long ago. I really don't understand it.

Nothing in life is ever 100 percent, but this guy isn't getting acquitted. You cannot compare this case with the cases of the police officers who were acquitted. It's a different animal entirely. It is always extremely hard to prosecute a police officer. I myself prosecuted a police officer once in my career (for theft/corruption). The public will always give a police officer the benefit of the doubt. Jurors will as well. Even a case like Zimmerman is not even close to analogous to this. This is somebody who travelled form Ohio to attend a white supremacist/neo-nazi rally and then drove his car into a crowd at a high rate of speed, and then backed up at a high rate of speed. There is just no way, no way he gets acquitted.

Is there more than just that one video ITT of the car?

fmp. We actually live in a world where Trump is soon going to be hammered (correctly) for being unable to say Radical White Terrorism lolol

As vile as all those are, even THAT is letting them off the hook too easily.

This wasn't a guy trying to get somewhere fast and said to hell with people in my way, it was a dude murdering people with a car.

NYT has an article about Republicans putting Trump on blast for his dog**** response

Incredible. David Duke weighed in too:

Still waiting to hear more details about the helicopter crash... it seems highly likely that it had to have been shot at or something right? Those things don't just fall out of the sky randomly very often...

Right now there's an active discussion about the biological inferiority of black programmers led by a poster who was banned previously for racist garbage, and oh by the way that's not even going down in P7, that's the science subforum.


My understanding is that helicopters crash disturbingly often, I would say it's highly unlikely someone took a potshot at it.

Case is being handled by the feds now. One of the interesting things about Trump firing all the US attorneys is that most of the acting US attorneys rather than getting political patronage jobs are instead career prosecutors. Rick A. Mountcastle the acting USA for the WD of Virginia is a 30 year career prosecutor. The case is in excellent hands.

It is hard to swallow. But, Jews certainly aren't generally immune from being racist and in particular, unfortunately, hatred towards Islam is not incredibly rare among Jews and that may be what draws them to Trump. And, while these alt-righters are certainly Jew haters, the more prominent among them are much more public with their Islamophobia.

Seems pretty unlikely to be able to shoot a helicopter down with pistols or rifles, but I suppose anything is possible with a lucky shot hitting the pilot or something.

Edit: My money is also on accident.

For some reason the media plays up the anti-black and anti-Muslim parts of the alt-right and downplays the JQ issue, there are a fair number of Jewish alt-lite guys. A lot of ethnic Jews see themselves as white.

And you don't need to be OF the alt-right to see them as one of the two legitimate sides of the debate, and perhaps more sympathetic than the regressive leftists and gun grabbing libtards.

If it had been shot down there'd be a massive manhunt, has to be an accident or mechanical failure.

Yeah I'm probably off on "highly likely" now that I think about it more. I don't know **** about aviation though. Did seem like a strange coincidence at first glance though on such a ****ty day. Glad that things seem pretty under control so far in Charlottesville tonight.

lol zorkman
