demonstrating like that don't strike me as funny, not considering the slogans they used while making their stand in the park last night, nor the nasty threatening tweets they're spewing out today.

I'm not grousing at anyone for making light of these guys, so please don't take it personally. I'm just remembering a demo years ago and how quickly those types are to use their weapons. That the faces in that picture are all so young is what worries me most.

There was another rally in that same Charlottesville, Virginia park tonight, hundreds of peaceful well-meaning people came out to take back Lee Park; a banner was hung over the R.E.Lee statue saying "Black Lives Matter" and "Fuck White Supremacy".
