How so? Antifa are in the business of punching Nazis. I don't see how that's the opposite of what they stand for. Literal Anti-Fascists.

I used to hang around the antifa-types, and their attitudes towards anyone who even slightly disagree are quite fascistic.

You may be confusing antifa with anarchists then.

was it the trucks fault? should we issue an automobile ban of some kind?
Rexli78
One dead, and 19 injured I wonder...how many people could he have killed with a gun instead of a car?
barnwolf
Maybe not a ban, but trucks should definitely require a licence to use and be registered.
barnwolf
Of course the licence should be limited to people of a responsible age, who pass a test and who don't fit a high risk criminal profile.
TehGrimReaper
Well, we should at least make people take tests (proving basic competence and the ability to operate them safely) and get licenses.

When Trump spoke, why didn't he say anything against these White Supremacist?

if it's so important for Trump to call a group for what they are then it's pretty strange that he won't mention white supremacists!

There are many Islamics who aren't terrorists. But there are ZERO White Supremacists who are not White Supremacists.

Would you have wanted Obama to label Neo-Nazi/KKK/whatever violence as "Radical Christian Terrorism" too?

I think the group that wants to lynch black people and murder jews should be put more at fault than the people opposing them.

Plus a Nazi protester actually murdered another person so again, I think the "both sides are equally bad" argument rings a bit hollow.
Nivison
Sides went at each other seperately. I believe both are at fault for violence. They both have the right to protest and speak their beliefs.
