James Alex Fields Jr. rings a bell. Was he forced to plow an automobile into a crowd, killing a woman? No, he made that decision to turn violent. Is he a conservative, yes.

Violence at any “protest” changes the definition in that it is no longer a protest; it’s a violent gathering.

Are there peaceful Liberal gatherings? I’d say the Women’s March, the largest national march in American history, is a prime example of that. Are there peaceful conservative gatherings? Of course there are.

Charlottesville attracting Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi groups, whose fundamental goal is intolerance, extermination of individuals based on ethnicity, religious beliefs, and race is the equivalent of ANTIFA provoking violence on a campus.

Is ANTIFA a “liberal” group? As much as the KKK is a “conservative” group.

The KKK focusing on the elimination of a large group of individuals is far more sinister and gravely intolerant than students protesting intolerance. The environment in which the agitation takes place is irrelevant, whether on campus or in public.
