Unite the Right 2: White Civil Rights Rally (Aug 11-12) - DC & Charlottesville

[Fiye]

lol WMATA gave Unite the Right 2 their own cars after all. If there's a strike tomorrow I would not be surprised. They're getting escorted.

Vienna North gate shut down for everyone but unite the right.

Bruh I'd protest all the time too if they closed down the transportation infrastructure to make room for my group to easily move in and out jfc.

Protesters blocked the motorcade of the UtR2 members and they've turned back.

And its over *Giant wet fart*

Awww man. I was all ready to hear the same lame ass excuses about how they arent racists or actual nazis despite them carrying torches and wearing nazi armbands and singing nazi slogans that I heard from friends/family/coworkers as I did when this shit happened last year.

[6souls]

Another live stream. Protesters refuse to leave despite UtR2 not happening.

But that tiny gathering of white nationalists managed to completely hijack Washington, D.C.’s public infrastructure and the attention of the national media. And the district’s handling of the event created some discomfiting resonances: American racists getting bundled into the capital on a segregated train car and escorted through a racists-only entrance into a park across from the White House.

huff post going to fucking town with that title.

Metro is pretty clearly denying the "segregated car" claim.

i am actually both impressed and shocked that vox published this

Antifa says it fights fascists and neo-Nazis. But this weekend, members attacked cops and journalists.

edit: of course huffpo's "hate and extremist" specialist thinks its a bad article: https://twitter.com/letsgomathias/st...28375027212288

I was prepared to be disappointed, but I'm pleasantly surprised every single comment I saw in that Twitter thread was calling him out for the spin, and how antifa really was violent with journos.

HuffPost is terrible lol, but most of us knew this already (except Fiye, surprise surprise)

[archibaldcrane]

People are regularly confusing "antifa is useful" with "antifa is good" - as well as confusing anarchists with antifa.

[Day]

antifa is useful.... for the alt-right's rhetoric maybe

[archibaldcrane]

A whopping 25 Nazis showed up for their return rally lol

maybe punching them works!

[Day]

probably more to do with the optics of the tragedy last year or the massive counter protest that was actually peaceful than some masked larpers IMO

[Salodin]

You have as much evidence for that as archi has for punching nazis as a nazi deterrant.
