I still scratch my head over the initial approval of the Charlottesville march in the first place. It was a no brainer there was going to be trouble. You had troublemakers on both sides of that protests and you could see it in the names of the participants, antifa, Communist Party USA, black lives matter, redneck revolt, democratic socialists of America, etc on the left. Neo nazis on the right. WTH was Charlottesville thinking when they signed off on the permit? Then you had the Vice Mayor of Charlottesville who seemed to want the conflict given his public remarks and comments from his past........he was a real jewel of the local Democratic Party. Bellemy is never mentioned by the press when the subject of Charlottesville comes up only POTUS is. Maybe his apologies are genuine and I hope they are and I hope he has matured It goes to show you though that Charlottesville was a little less cut and dried than the media represented. The whole Confederate Memorial Movement I think is also kind of dumb. Don't we have enough memorials..........why are we building more or for that matter why can't we remove a few of the too many, IMO that we have currently? Oh well, I don't live in Virginia and it's their problem I guess....

Homophobic, sexist, anti-white language abundant in Charlottesville vice mayor's tweets
The tweets have led some members of the community to call on Bellamy to leave office.

At the end of the day, they have a right to demonstrate no matter how vile their views are. The supreme court upheld that decision multiple times in Brandenburg v. Ohio, Virginia v. Black, and Capitol Square Review Board v. Pinette. If we can't guarantee the rights of losers like the NSM and KKK, then the rest of us are only one justification away from having our rights taken next.
