Charlottesville Cosplay Party - Page 3 - Politics and Economics

So I'm trying to embed a video from twitter, this is what happens when I post:

[ TWEET]***429257865482241 [/TWEET]

The three numbers are 8, 9 and 6, dunno if that's relevant.

BBCode issues aside, someone just drove a car through a crowd in Charlottesville. Looks like maybe a dozen people injured.

JFC, how have the police not taken control of the situation yet? This has been going on for hours.

Reminder that if the driver of that car was Muslim, this one act would immediately be labeled "terrorism" and have massive implications for foreign policy, civil rights, and discourse in this country. But if it's a neo-Nazi, it's really just one bad apple that doesn't speak for a larger group.

Foxnews host just now "and now we heard about this car accident that we're still getting more information about, whether it was intentional or not, it could be the driver was trying to defend itself by projectile objects being thrown at the car. "

Taylor Lorenz, whoever the hell she is, is tweeting that some police are saying they don't think the driver was malicious. Video of the car driving directly towards people then backing up at full speed to GTFO of there after mowing down dozens looks pretty ****ing malicious to me.

Start preparing yourself now for right wingers defending the driver as self-defense or understandable panic and then his or her eventual acquittal

If nothing else, both sides are in complete agreement and completely correct that policing in Charlottesville today was shockingly inept.

A Presidential pardon would spare us all the agony of a trial.
