Yes I do. But the vast majority of the protesters in Virginia were not Antifa.

It was not Nazis vs Antifa like you are trying to make it out to be.

Oh, ok. That's fine then. Like I said, I haven't been paying attention, my information is still like two days old.

I've been in 3 fights, only one of which I started and not a single one was a justified use of violence. By the time I got to my second year of making people angry at college parties, I began taking the de-escalation approach which usually involves a bear hug where I bring them to the ground until they chill out.

And have you forgotten that personalization does nothing for me in an argument? Go toss your schmaltzy Tom Hanks film reasoning at someone else.

Unless you're like, talking about the people who willingly took part in the violence and stuff.

Already addressed this, but of course you ignored me.

It's true, I absolutely love debate. It can be very informative and eye-opening if both sides are willing to participate like adults.

Not everyone who was there protesting on the "alt-right" side was a Nazi or white supremacist. That's the truth, but it runs counter to the narrative the media are trying to spin.

And in the spirit of fairness, I'll also say that ANTIFA and BLM didn't make up the majority of the counter protestors either.

This situation is a good example of a case where a little nuance would have gone a long way. But as usual, the media are opportunistic and Trump's brazen language (and ill-thought out metaphors) only spurred them on.
