Anyone watching AM Joy?

[demmiblue]

Reverend Blackman, while discussing the live events in Charlottesville, was suddenly whisked away. My stomach dropped.

[cynatnite]

1. Yep, and police are doing little...

There has been violence.

[demmiblue]

5. This is just chilling.

The police need to enforce the peace.

[demmiblue]

2. They are now discussing violence against several factions, including clergy. n/t

[samnsara]

3. yikes!!!!

[nolabear]

4. Yes. This is horrifying. The police are doing NOTHING.

I don't see how this can go on without people dying. What have we come to?

[demmiblue]

7. Especially when guns are involved.

I wonder if the National Guard will be brought in.

[nolabear]

12. Apparently there's "armed militia" there on the fascist side.

It's chaos. People are helmeted, armed, and the police apparently have...pepper spray.

If these people were black there would be tanks.

[demmiblue]

16. Yep, the Reverend is back on discussing how different the reaction is between...

today's events vs. Ferguson and their peaceful protests.

[demmiblue]

40. "People alleging guns being pulled"

6. CNN has terrifying coverage. Showing more than Joy.

Dear God.

[PunkinPi]

8. It's the Antifa and Nazis. nt

[Catmusicfan]

9. I can't believe I am seeing this. I could be wrong but it look like

Rev Blackwell was hit by something.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

10. It's hard to tell what's going on.

Charlottesville (not Charlotte, which is in NC) is not a large city and probably doesn't have a very big police force. The news report says the state police are there - but they don't seem to be in control of things.

[demmiblue]

13. Thank you for the correction.

I am a little shaken watching this.

[Rustyeye77]

11. Neo-nazi's and KKK...

what a waste of oxygen.

Hope they rot in hell.

[stopbush]

34. There is no hell. We're going to have to deal with these racist assholes

in the here and now.

[malaise]

14. 20fugging17

I can't process this madness - in Emancipation Park no less.

[spanone]

17. trump white house has given these cretins hope and a voice.

and we thought it couldn't happen here again

i don't know America

[malaise]

20. +1,000

Same here

[demmiblue]

23. Yep, and they are IN the White House (Gorka, Miller, Breitbart, etc.). n/t

[Rustyeye77]

15. Its hard to see who's who...what does red and black flag represent ?

??

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

18. Those are the Antifascists.

[rogue emissary]

21. Googled and found it's suppose to represent Anarcho-Syndicalism.

From wiki
Anarcho-syndicalism (also referred to as revolutionary syndicalism)[1] is a theory of anarchism which views revolutionary industrial unionism or syndicalism as a method for workers in capitalist society to gain control of an economy and, with that control, influence broader society. Syndicalists consider their economic theories a strategy for facilitating worker self-activity and as an alternative co-operative economic system with democratic values and production centered on meeting human needs.

[NotASurfer]

29. That explains the pink and black shields with the same design

American antifa finds a way to enrich the symbolism

[Raastan]

26. I lived in Charlottesville for 20 years and I can't believe this

is happening there. I am sad and enraged at the same time.

[Glimmer of Hope]

27. Richard Painter is everything.

[demmiblue]

30. He has been a real voice of reason for quite some time.

I appreciate that he is speaking out harshly against his own party.

[R B Garr]

33. He really looks disgusted at what Trump is turning his party into.

He just said it's starting to look like Germany in the 1930's. A serious threat to our Democracy right here and now.

There are probably a lot more of his type old guard that are appalled by this and don't want Donald to be their figurehead.

Wow, this is just insane. Trump is bringing out his Nazi believers.

[mucifer]

28. You would think Jared would be saying something to his father in law about this.

ya know Jared is in charge of everything.

[Solly Mack]

31. I've been watching.

I'm alternating between anger and sadness with a whole lot of disgust.

[demmiblue]

37. I'll add a sense of helplessness and disbelief.

[Solly Mack]

38. Yes

[spiderpig]

32. What, no tweets?

If Hillary blew her nose Trump would instantly be all over the internet.

[furtheradu]

36. Too busy watching on tv?

Probably like porn to the monster trump.
Dream come true for trump-rusky-republikers,
nightmare for the rest of us.
