    What about the UNC professor of anthropology that told people to block the roads, and telling people to get ready to get hit? He pointed a rifle at james fields prior to him accelerating away towards the crowds of people waiting to get ran over? Theres video of it.

      They had no right to cancel the event. That is giving the "hecklers veto" the win. If police did their expletive job and arrested the violent people attacking anyone on the right, none of this would have happened. Just keeping two sides separate is the cowards way out, and blatantly immoral.

    If you watch the full unedited video of the "car ramming people" in slow motion, you'll see 20+ people with clubs and baseball bats chasing and attacking the car, and a rock being thrown into the front window - all before the crash happened. The guy wasn't ramming people, he was fleeing for his life! The local government, which prosecuted him provided him a government appointed lawyer - a direct conflict of interest.

    Important questions not asked in this interview:
    1) Which person or group started the violence at Charlottesville?
    2) What did the police do to minimize that original, instigating force?
    3) Is it true that the driver who killed several protesters was attacked by protesters first and was trying to escape?
    4) What was the driver's explanation for his behavior?
    5) What happened to the idiot who was wildly brandishing his pistol at the leftist crowd?
    6) A California judge recently dropped government charges against violent, right-wing protesters because the government failed to charge violent, left-wing protesters at the same riot. Should that rationale be applied here?

    His points at the end match my memory of the footage... which has been hard to find again. Rebel News or some similar org's footage made it look like Antifa et al greatly outnumbered the Neo-Nazi types, and the simple statue defenders were caught in the middle trying to escape the lunacy. Then the cops seemed to make it all worse by forcing the permitted protesters (Right wingers) out of the park into the street where all the fighting erupted.
