Perspective

I really don't have much to add in ways of commentary on the violent protests in Charlottesville, VA. Any movement in America which seeks to marginalize (or perhaps eradicate) people who aren't of the white race should be called out individually and shamed into going back behind the scenes.

All that said, I've long been skeptical that such a movement could be resurrected in this country to the point where they'd become mainstream. A gentleman from North Carolina by the name of David Meloche pretty much articulated that very sentiment.

Something to remember that may ease your minds a bit: this alt right protest had been advertised for months. It took a lot of effort put in to making sure that community knew about it. All in all, after months of planning, 200 people showed up, almost entirely from out of town. So if you think about it, really, it just means that there are only about 200 neo-nazi sh*tbags left in the whole US with either enough money to travel, the internet, or actual conviction in their beliefs. So ya know, silver lining.

Now if only President Trump would do the right thing by calling them out by name......
