I think it is pathetic how some of you are not siding with the counter protestors. The fact of the matter is the alt-right led by Richard Spencer, the KKK with David Duke, militias and white nationalist groups stormed the statute with torches and chanted derogatory slogans. Freaking torches. Sound familiar to a dark part of history in the south? Free speech does not include hate speech. Any language that incites violence is considered illegal, and is not covered under the First Amendment. I applaud the counter protesters, for standing up for what is right.
Anyone who says the driver acted in self-defense is a !@#$ing moron. Every video shows him flooring it into a group of counter protestors. Some of you need to take a long hard look in the mirror.
