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.)

**  Sylva, Jackson County discuss next steps for Confederate statue.  (North Carolina)

**  Charlottesville prepares to take down Confederate statue near the site of the violent Unite the Right rally.  (Virginia.  Both the Right and Left were equally guilty of making it a violent confrontation.)

**  Tupper town board discusses racism and Confederate flag.  (New York)

**  Florence police create a 'protest free zone' for businesses in front of Confederate statue demonstrations.  (Alabama.  There have been 14 weeks of demonstrations in the city.  Bad for downtown businesses.)

Riots in Chicago and Across the United States

Why do the media outlets continue to call what happened protests?  It  may have started that way, but what I saw on State Street in Chicago on TV last night was definitely NOT a protest.  It was a complete riot.  The police should be commended for not attacking the rioters and looters, especially after the names, taunts and items hurled at them.

********************************

I know the reason for the initial protesting was the death of the man in Minneapolis at the hands of the police, but I went to the Hey Jackass Mayhem in Chicago site for an update on shootings in Chicago so far this year.  The numbers are sad.  And most of the victims are Blacks and have been shot by other Blacks.

S&W--  Shot and Wounded,  S&K-- Shot and Killed

This week so far (May 24-30):
21 S&K, 80 S&W

Month of May
60 S&K, 274 S&W

Year to date:

204 S&K, 904 S&W

Maybe, just maybe, there is a bigger issue than one man being killed by police.  And, just maybe a bigger issue than those Confederate statues.

**********************************

Of course, watching the footage of what happened at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill when the students committed the hate crime and tore down the Silent Sam statue sure reminded me of what I was seeing in Chicago and many other U.S. cities last night.

The radical left has gotten as badly out of control as the radical right.  And, it used to be that the left could at least be counted on to be sane, but not any more.  Just watching the two sides at Charlottesville it was hard to tell who was worse.

Hey, friends, last night was nothing but riots.  Wondering if what the rioters were breaking or spray painting was just vandalism as it is in the case of Confederate statues?  Or was it a hate crime.

I wish the media would stop calling it protests.
