The juxtoposition of good and evil in this pic from Charlottesville (extreme graphic warning)

Good vs. Evil
Humanity vs. Inhumanity
The raw hatred of someone striking pedestrians, who are flung in the air.
Now I look at the signs..."Black Lives Matter", "Solidarity", "Love", bumper sticker "No man stands so tall as when he stoops to help a child"
Something is very, very wrong in America.

That claim falls apart when video surfaced of him racing headlong into the crowd from an area where there were far fewer protestors.

I had always thought "knocked them right out of their shoes" was just a figure of speech. How horrible, horrible. You are quite right:
something IS very, very wrong in America, and we need to FIX it.

Using cars to run over pedestrians in a crowded space. I know in their warped minds, this act will be rationalized in some way. The Trump supporters who condone this act can't even see that fundamentally they are the same as the terrorists they claim to oppose. The sickness in this country is becoming much worse. I fear we need a remedy soon (2018 elections), or the sickness will metastasize beyond our ability to control it.
