Look, man, anybody who is conversant with the facts knows that both sides were ready to rumble, including your "patriotic anti-fascists" who came wielding clubs, shields, and dressed in body-armor. Statements from eyewitnesses make it abundantly clear that it was not a one-sided affair:
Our President was right to wisely condemn the "many sides" for their actions, or in the case of the police, for their lack of action.Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostIf boths sides were to blame for the violence, which is clearly the case based on numerous eye-witness statements, then what's wrong with blaming both sides? I honestly don't understand the histrionics from the left, or why they seem so determined to give their guys a free pass while those of us on the right, including our President, are willing to look truth in the eye and condemn all responsible parties, regardless of which side of the political divide they happen to be on.

At least we are consistent and laying blame on both sides because both the alt-right and the alt-left were both at fault.

He said that there were good people on both sides, thus implicitly lending at least partial presidential approval to a far-right rally in which swastikas were displayed, Nazi salutes made and antisemitic chants shouted.There is a right side and a wrong side. Racism, antisemitism, white supremacism and Nazism, new or old, are wrong. A leader who cannot bring himself to say this clearly and unequivocally is not just clueless. He also forfeits his claim to moral authority and much of his right to be respected as leader. Yet that is where Mr Trump has put himself.

That has partly been given to the racists by Trump. Make America great again...
But you didn't actually answer the question (dodging is another one of your favorite ploys): If both sides were to blame for the violence, which is clearly the case based on numerous eye-witness statements, then what's wrong with blaming both sides?Some may call me foolish, and some may call me odd
