They also actually killed someone.
- 2_listerine_pls 9y agoOne guy killed someone.
- dragonwriter 9y agoOne member of the movement, in pursuit of the movements ends, at a movement rally, and with wide praise in the movement, and with the deliberate encouragement not only of the narrow white supremacist movement but the broader right, including the GOP and allied media (which has specifically made efforts to normalize fatally running over peaceful protesters, including advancing legislation in several US jurisdictions to decriminalize it). Without in one iota mitigating the culpability of the individual perpetrator, I have no problem characterizing this as a killing by the violent White supremacist movement, as well as one contributed to by the broader right-wing movement.

- burkaman 9y agoI was responding the the claim that neo-Nazis are just a bunch of harmless angry kids.
- dragonwriter 9y agoYou fail to show that the attack was by a BLM member, encouraged by BLM, cheered afterwards by BLM, I tied to BLM activity. The only relation is supposed motivation by a event with which BLM was also upset. This is in no meaningful way parallel to the Charlottesville case.
- patrickg_zill 9y agoThe guy that drove his car into the crowd was not a member of any of the sponsoring organizations of the "Unite the Right" march, either. As for after the fact cheering of white people's deaths, may I direct you to the cesspit of Twitter...
