Still going on, but looks like police might be getting ready to finally intervene after mostly just watching all nightā¦
Bets on where Richard Spencer is right now?
Finally the White Man will be heard!
Maybe itās a good thing that so many of these lizards are slithering out from under their rocks. Sunlight, disinfectant, etc.
Hereās Buzzfeedās take on this:
A friend of mine is on faculty at UVA now, doing hip hop studies:
I hope so. I guess I canāt be surprised theyāre making their presence known at UVA. I think Spencerās undergrad is from there. I had a friend who also got her degree there and she says itās incredibly white and privileged. Iām more surprised to seem some fascists cropping up at GSU, frankly. Atlanta used to be the place people left to get away from this shit (especially since the wave of white flight in the 60s and 70s). Reverse white flight is having an effect it seems to me.
Also, let the criticism that Iām advocating violence begin!
UVA was my back-up school if I hadnāt gotten into USC. I went to a military boarding school (my idea/choice) for two years less than a half-hour from there. I remember running cross country competitions right through the grounds where this is happening. A lot of my classmates ended up going to UVA. Theyāre all long graduated of course, but Iām not surprised UVA students are standing up to these fascist fuckers. Iām both proud of them and pray this doesnāt turn into a bloodbath.
Sounds like a perfect targetā¦
Iām sure AD has been targeted before. He was trying to get Clemson to think more critically about its slave-holding past after all. I sent him along my well wishes when I saw this story.
Personally, Iād love to see a public debate between him and Spencer! Heād hand spencer his ass, Iām sure.
Cāville is a great little Virginia town in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains itās a shame this is going on there. There has always been a mix of ultra preppy and military in the Cāville area. VMI, UVA, Fork Union, Woodberry Forest, etc. All surrounded mostly by Green County home to many rural Trump supporters and largely one family of Shiflets.
Great hiking, biking and camping up there.
My father and sister are UVa alumni are both appalled this is happening. Itās hard to believe.
No doubt. That and fascist white supremacy are two sides of the same coin.
Itās some of the most beautiful country in the US.
Iāve never seen so many Tiki Torches in one place. They canāt even promote āwhite cultureā without appropriating Polynesian culture.
At least they wonāt have to worry about mosquitoes. /s
WASPs on the other handā¦ (sorry, couldnāt resist)
Well, itās escalating quickly:
About an hour away in Richmond there are lots of folks who think that the Civil War never ended. There are country clubs there that only in recent years allowed black members and then there is Monument Ave.
As others have noted a REAL President of either party would be drafting a public statement to strongly condemn this horrible situation.
There are probably WH staff in Cāville waving the confederate battle flag. Anybody seen Jeff Sessions?
Hey, hey, Il Duce has a busy schedule accosting brides at his golf courses. /s
Cricketsā¦
Expect a series of tweets attacking the counter-protestors in the next few hours, but only after they have been vetted by Bannon.
