VIOLENCE: One side at fault

President Trump on Tuesday was wrong in the news conference when he squarely laid blame on both sides in the Charlottesville melee. Although it was an improvement from his caving to the politically correct communists in this country, in his statement condemning white supremacists the previous day, the blame should rest squarely on the counter protesters, antifa. The so-called white supremacists group had a legitimate reason to be there and held a permit to peacefully protest the taking down of an American memorial. The resistance, counter-protesters, antifa, or whatever one may call them (no one knows for sure who they were) came armed with clubs, suited with shields and helmets, and ready to incite violence. They got what they wanted, violence broke out. Could there have been any other result? Self-defense is an innate characteristic. The supremacist group, I believe, was exercising their free speech rights and had to exercise self-defense in what started out to be a peaceful protest on their part.

The alt-left communists in this country will not define evil for what it really is; Racism is a human imperfection, NOT an evil. Abortion IS an evil and holocaust responsible for the taking of far more lives (57 million at last count) than the so-called 6 million taken by the Nazis).

I am an American with Mexican heritage. No trace of white blood in me. I am just an observer of facts, not fake news.
