It's chaos. People are helmeted, armed, and the police apparently have...pepper spray.

If these people were black there would be tanks.

Charlottesville (not Charlotte, which is in NC) is not a large city and probably doesn't have a very big police force. The news report says the state police are there - but they don't seem to be in control of things.

From wiki
Anarcho-syndicalism (also referred to as revolutionary syndicalism)[1] is a theory of anarchism which views revolutionary industrial unionism or syndicalism as a method for workers in capitalist society to gain control of an economy and, with that control, influence broader society. Syndicalists consider their economic theories a strategy for facilitating worker self-activity and as an alternative co-operative economic system with democratic values and production centered on meeting human needs.

He just said it's starting to look like Germany in the 1930's. A serious threat to our Democracy right here and now.

There are probably a lot more of his type old guard that are appalled by this and don't want Donald to be their figurehead.

Wow, this is just insane. Trump is bringing out his Nazi believers.
