He should be charged as an accessory to murder along with the VA congressman who helped get the rally permit.

quiet the crowd down. But once he started, the crowd seemed to just get louder. I could not hear one word of his talk. then about 5 minutes in--I think the reporters were trying to record him and they moved closer--and crowd moved closer and away he was chased. te he. loved it.


about 3 minutes in, they moved camera and saw all the police on the rooftops.

Was about to post the same thing. The Trump Nazis attacked with weapons, hundreds of innocent people yesterday and the police were nowhere to be found.

White Supremacists have infiltrated every level of law enforcement in every sizeabke police department nationwide. The police were in on the plan.

The only thing Trump is sorry about is that more liberals weren't killed.

While it may make some feel better for the venting, what I see is a mob.
They will say that they are the victims and use it to their advantage.

Shouting them down will only make them try harder and denying them their first amendment rights (yes, even Nazis have that in the USA) will be used by them as recruitment material.

No one has a constitutional right to not be offended or to say just anything they want or even to say it free of interruption.

Not sure why anyone should owe a white supremacist quiet.

within the allowances of the first amendment (not shouting "fire" in a crowded theater)

Being offended has nothing to do with it.
That white supremacist will have plenty to say to his supporters after the mob chased him away.

His message can be responded to in public, in a strong, reasoned and civil way - not that he deserves
civility, but because that's how it should be. I believe in giving people enough rope to hang themselves.

Do you want to have your message heard, or do you want to feel good?

Don't think that by shouting one person down at a public event will shut them up or change their minds.
You can protest and be vocal when it will help - mob behavior doesn't change minds or silence the message.

with enough people to do this without throwing punches we win. Punches are different and likely even debatable on our side, I side with no violence. Still, they did it with presence and loudness. Unless he was there to recant honestly his past behavior and belief he really should not have a mic or the honor of being listened to. Not Neo Nazis or anyone preaching division and disharmony among our citizens.

Ours is a very gerrymandered district, Charlottesville (very blue) is with his otherwise very red district. Garrett took forever to "disavow" the actions of white supremacists, but he is very quick to badmouth all democrats, doesn't schedule town hall meetings, but goes to high schools in his district to spew his rhetoric:
