In Chicks world, racism and violence are OK when they bring about a preferred political agenda.

These "nut cases" are on a mission. They plan larger scale activities in other cities. And they are armed. So should all of the sane people sit silently by?

I agree that the white supremacists have First Amendment rights of speech and assembly. Those rights protect against limitations or restrictions imposed by governmental bodies. Corporations, such as Godaddy, are not governmental entities. Individuals or groups who organize boycotts of advertisers on websites or broadcast outlets who give a platform to the white supremacists are also exercising their right to speak and to assemble. Simply because such groups are competing successfully in the marketplace of ideas does not mean that there has been an interference with First Amendment rights.

On Saturday afternoon, shortly before her camera captured a car plowing through left-wing activists in Charlottesville, killing one and injuring more than a dozen others, Faith Goldy warned that the left was spinning out of control.

“Hundreds and hundreds of antifa, weird BLM, idiots dressed like clowns,” said Goldy, a reporter for the Canadian alt-right news site The Rebel. “This is okay, as long as you’re not the alt-right. The alt-right wasn’t allowed to demonstrate any show of force.”

As if on cue, activists began chanting “black lives matter” in the background of Goldy’s shot.

“Chant BLM, and all of a sudden the cops don’t care!” she said. “Where are the riot police now?”

Goldy’s report, which transformed into police evidence after James Alex Fields Jr. allegedly plowed his car into counterprotesters, was representative of a theme that had risen from far-right media to the mainstream since President Trump’s inauguration. The growth of “antifa,” a loose and often ad hoc network of left-wing “antifascist” groups, has been covered as a rising danger to law and order, a justification for alt-right organizations to organize armed rallies — and for ordinary Americans to arm themselves, too.

I fully concur with your second paragraph and partially concur with the first. Regarding the first, the armed "nut cases" didn't shoot anyone and confronting armed "nut cases" is nuts.

You mean what you do with nearly every post, lol. If you still support Trump at this point, you are a bigot. No question. No valid arguments to still be in his vile camp.

You buy your paintbrushes in widths that are measured by the mile.

Nazis are a lot like cats. If they like you, it's because you're feeding them.

Yet, it seems you go out of your way to stand in the middle of that mile.
