1. My God...

My heart aches for that police officer

[cynatnite]

2. Mine, too. n/t

[demmiblue]

3. It brings this picture to mind:

[cynatnite]

4. Wow, I've never seen this before.

[demmiblue]

7. Here is the story behind the pic:

[cynatnite]

8. Wow, what a compelling story. Thanks. n/t

[TeamPooka]

26. It is a great story and yet I still want WC Fields to show up and kick that kid.

[grantcart]

34. Thanks,too bad the link to the next update doesn't work

[PatrickforO]

23. The pain in the faces of those officers...

Well, I won't let the bastards grind me down, but what does the second clause in your signature mean - the one after the second sign of Venus?

[nolabear]

5. Note that sign. I've heard a stunning amount of anti-Jew invective in this.

What the fuck? Is this just a bow to the original Nazis? Not that I have any illusions about them hating Jews too but it sure puts paid to the Robert E Lee protest excuse.

[PatrickforO]

24. They still hate the Jews. They hate everyone but

straight, white, 'christian' males without any education to speak of.

Perhaps inbred, with big gaps where teeth used to be, and stinking bad breath.

[L. Coyote]

37. And women it seems. Where are the females?

The all maleness of these hatred groups is striking.

[Thrill]

6. He's actually has to be there to protect them

Wow just wow

[TrishaJ]

9. Perhaps the white goobers showing their asses should

be shown the battlefield carnage from the Civil War? Can't these boneheads learn from their ancestors??

[Lars39]

15. They would just point out where great great great gandpappy fell and swell their chests out in pride

[Oneironaut]

10. I'm proud of this picture because of the black officer.

Free speech is constantly being tested. The speech in this case is vile. None the less, it is protected.

[smirkymonkey]

11. That photo turns my stomach.

Why should that man should have to protect these vile people? I know it's his duty as a LEO, but it's so wrong.

[floWteiuQ]

12. Coward and....

Losers and they display the flag of losers!

[AllaN01Bear]

13. these arnt americans

[trueblue2007]

14. horrible

[thbobby]

16. Who haters hate the most

Themselves. Their thought process is "I am a piece of shit, but at least I am better than a ..."

Any group can complete the idiocy. Why be surprised that Jewish People are among who they proclaim hatred for.

Nauseating. Clustertrump has really made America hate again. These idiots were always around, but now they are emboldened to show themselves.

[Johnny2X2X]

17. Trump is their leader.

Trump leads this group. This is his base.

[L. Coyote]

38. Yes. They think their guy is in the White House and they can do what they want now.

18. We've been here before. Remember the history of what we did about these events.

[LBM20]

19. They have the right to do this, and I have the right to think they're a bunch of stupid SCUMBAGS.

[Stuart G]

20. This picture will be viral...Perhaps as powerful as any....Chinese man standing in front of tank,,

Nude child running way from bombing in Viet Nam..
Kennedy slumped over car...
Such a sad picture in 2017..How far have be come?

[PatrickforO]

21. It will become an iconic photo.

In the days to come, after the Trump nightmare is over, after Trump and his treasonous administration have been moved from the White House to the cages where they belong, historians will look at this period and shake their heads. This photo may end up in high school history texts, when we can wrest the truth back from the fundamentalist Christians and far right wing nuts and begin teaching our children actual history instead of some ideologically cleaned product.

I live for the day when our pain becomes a memory and freaks like Charles Koch have had their treason against our democracy exposed in the spotlight and we've finally returned to decency as a people.

[demmiblue]

22. Apparently, that photo was from the previous Charlottesville rally.

It is still very powerful and iconic, though.

25. Where the hell were the fucking

police today? It took over three, THREE hours to arrive and stop thee melees. The police chief needs to be held accountable.

[madinmaryland]

28. The police chief was in the parade.

[zz-la]

39. Shameful

I am sure that many of those officers sadly liked what they were seeing from these KKK goons and other deplorable racists trash.

[RKP5637]

27. He has a bunch of garbage behind him! Bunch of ignorant racist garbage! n/t

[Sneederbunk]

29. Worth a thousand words. Pulitzer Prize-worthy.

[Fluke a Snooker]

30. It's official. The entire Republican Party is a hate group and should be banned.

Nobody can seriously argue otherwise. EVERY republican running in 2018 MUST be tied PERSONALLY to this traumatic event and must be held accountable to the max.

[RoBear]

32. Exactly!

n/t

[liberal N proud]

31. Hate is a learned trait. How did we become this?

[Harry Also]

33. He's babysitting assholes

Crap day at work.

35. Trump ignoring reporters asking if he denounces white nationalists
