    I have thought about this a lot, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm pro punching Nazis.

    Can't you be proud and broken? All the same, it just happened on Saturday. I imagine the mother is possibly still in shock.

    The argument that the Nazis had a permit and the counter-protesters did not is horseshit. Why? Because counter-protest groups were given permits to demonstrate nearby. Don't believe me? Just read the federal judge's order from Friday night. Pages 1-2.

    EDIT: Forgot to provide the link: http://ftpcontent.worldnow.com/wvir/documents/kessler-federal.pdf

    Neither side had permits to protest in the street, and the Nazis permit to demonstrate in Emancipation Park at Noon Saturday was lawfully revoked when at 11 a.m. the police determined that allowing the event to move forward was a threat to public safety on the basis of many of the white supremacists having a.) shown up armed and b.) engaging in violent response to the counter-protesters who were also assembling nearby.

    What happened in the park before noon and in the streets all day was not "permitted" activity.

    Um, he is. They want him to look like a decent human being and that doesn't come naturally to him because he's a piece of shit.

    I fully expect these Nazi twats to rationalize this away, thinking he only said it because people pressured him to and that he doesn't really mean it.

    And you'll be on this board going to the mat for him because that's all you do.

    Even if attempting to do so puts cops lives in danger?

    Lies we expect from Donald. But the incongruity of the Bernie Bro line stuck out like a sore thumb reading that post.

    I would rather not endanger the lives of police, but if some guy is giving the Nazi salute in front me, I've decided I'm going to punch him.

    What if he's wearing a short sleeve shirt and the sleeve rides up and you see a swastika tattoo ... playing that one by ear?

    The counter demonstrators went to the park.

    They all ended up in the street because the cops ejected everyone from the park, putting those on opposing sides together in the street.

    A combination of saying he didn't really mean it ("He was reading the prompter, no passion, no conviction!") and blaming Jews - probably Kushner and Ivanka.
