30. Wrong - Charlottesville is extremely blue, extremely diverse, and extremely progressive

And, the racists chose Cville because of this. That is why it was the "destination for racists."

It is also a very beautiful, historic, and dynamic college town.

You should be blaming the VAST and the VANG, who took over from the CPD, who in no way could handle something like this. They are much more not experienced or competent for something like this. They heve chained prisoners escape out of police vans, for goodness' sake. I have friends on the ground there, and there will be an investigation of how the Staties and NG handled this.
