Man Hit By Confederate Statue in Virginia Recovering. Man Who Drove Car Into Leftists at Charlottesville Gets Life Sentence. Who Really is To Blame for Charlottesville?

SEPTEMBER 14, 2020

**  Confederate statues can teach us meaningful lessons.

**  Charlottesville:  Confederate statue removed.   (BBC.  Virginia.  Again, the confrontation there is blamed on white nationalists, who definitely deserve blamed.  But it was also caused by the extreme leftist who showed up spoiling for a fight.

I was glad to see that the sorry excuse who drove his car into the leftists has received a life sentence.  I had heard nothing about that before.  Probably out of fear that if BLM or others heard about it that there would have been rioting, burning and looting.  I figured he was be executed for his foul deed.)

**  'Slowly but surely he's recovering'!:  Man hit by Confederate statue in Portsmouth back home.  (Virginia.   I am glad he survived.  The story was that he was trying to get others out of the way as it began to fall.  Sure.  And he was just going out to the local convenience store at 3 in the morning to get a Slurpee.  He should now be arrested. Although I must admit that I enjoyed seeing the reaction of the young white woman sitting on the statue and having the joyous time of her life when she saw what happened.)

So, Where's the Apology to the Police?

In the last two posts, I mentioned at least six policemen being injured by rioters protesting the tragic George Floyd death. I didn't mention the looters hurting police as they were too busy elsewhere doing their thing.

Can you believe a car full of certain people deliberately ran into the officers then sped away.  Didn't something like that happen in Charlottesville several years ago?

The main black racist organizations are the NAACP, BLM and the SPLC (Southern Poverty Law Center).

I have not seen a statement from any of these groups as to how they feel about those injuries.

Protesters Target Confederate Statues in Some Cities-- Part 1: Mississippi, Charleston and Raleigh

From the May 31, 2020, Politico, AP.

Protesters marching about the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis also attacked Confederate statues in several cities.  Monuments in Virginia (no surprise there), the Carolinas and Mississippi.  I haven't read the whole article but am sure those "people" in Charlottesville got a chance to spew forth their racist hatred as usual.

The words "spiritual genocide" were sprayed on the Confederate monument on the University of Mississippi campus.  In Charleston, S.C., the base of the "Confederate Defenders" monument was defaced with "BLM" and "traitors."  I have written a lot about this statue in my Civil War blogs.

In Raleigh, N.C., the Confederate monument at the state capitol was marked with an "X" and a shorthand  for a phrase expressing contempt for the police.  The word racist was also written on the monument.

I wonder if these persons committing the looting and hate crimes know that they are doing a whole lot to reelect Donald Trump.
