and I'd expect a lot of places to be closed since this was shaping up to be a clusterfuck attended by every bigot within a day's drive (the car that rammed people is from Ohio).

I hope McAuliffe calls in the NG, it looks like the cops could use a break. The Tiki Torch Nazis are promising to be back in the park tomorrow.

Dear White Supremacists:

There is nothing "supreme" about most of you either physically, morally or intellectually. (Sorry to pick on the less fortunate-looking, but when one is claiming to be "superior", one's lack of qualifications for such needs to be called out.)

My heart hurts. How do the parents of the younger ones feel, seeing their children spewing so much hate? Did they learn this vile behaviour at home?

I'm glad some in the media have realized that it wasn't just the removal of the Confederate monument.

Didn't they pick Charlottesville because of this sort of attitude? They're trying to intimidate communities that don't subscribe to their Nazi ideals.
