Charlottesville Protest: White Nationalist Rally Turns Violent : The Two-Way : NPR

World- 10
Islam- 8

Game over. The rest of the world has managed to out Islam Islam.

We'll play again in 2021, if there are any survivors

Car plows into bystanders at rally in Charlottesville. At least 1 dead.

Didn't see Hawk's post

Ignore.

No I meant I didn't. I also posted a link of the same story. Just not from NPR.

That guy mentioned in the article, Jason Kessler, the rally organizer, is quite the tool.

I'm not so sure - a lot of Islamist attacks don't get a mention in the media. This page gives the last 30 days of Islamist attacks (only 919 killed so a relatively quiet month):

My game. My rules.

Apparently a helicopter crashed or something

When I first saw a news item about a Charlotteville statue and a group protesting its removal, I didn't imagine how things would escalate.

There's no turning back the clock, but imo the decision to remove Robert E. Lee's statue was a mistake from the start. After all, many people commemorated in statues have caused death and destruction; should they all be taken down? If anything, in multi-cultural societies, we should be putting statues up and if people are uneasy about glorifying Robert E. Lee, wouldn't it have been better to strike a balance by adding a statue of Frederick Douglass or some local equivalent as well?

Sad and alarming on lots of levels, the spiral of violence in Charlotteville has also obscured the original issue.
