VIRGINIA RIOT
the-straight-whisperer
There’s a riot currently ongoing in Virginia at the University of Virginia between Nazis, BLM, and other resistance groups (I don’t know which ones exactly). It started around 9 am EST when resistance groups meet with Nazis who were protesting the removal of a statue of Robert E Lee, Confederate general.
I haven’t heard of any deaths so far, but a state of emergency has been declared. If anyone has any links they could post I would greatly appreciate it as I’m on mobile and can’t link. But I have a big follow base and I wanted everyone to know.
Never, ever, forget exactly how anti black America is.

UPDATE
they haven’t released names of those injured or whether they were supremacists or counter protesters, but, according to CNN, it’s assumed theyre counter protesters
David Duke has stated “this is part of taking the country back” and called it “a turning point”. He is in the middle of the riot.
Several people have been injured after a car plowed into a crowd of counter-protesters marching against a “pro-white” rally Saturday in Charlottesville, Va., witnesses said.
Video of the terrifying moment shows at least one person being tossed into the air as the silver Dodge Charger mowed into the crowd.
“Yeah, it was intentional,” said witness Dan Miller. “About 40 miles an hour, hit about 15-20 people, crashed into the two cars in front of it, and then backed up and sped away while cops were standing on the side of the road and didn’t do anything.”

It’s worse than bad. There’s a video of it that CNN has played a couple times. They’re also continually playing living footage. It’s. There aren’t words, honestly.

Police in riot gear are present (you can see them here and there in the live footage) but there aren’t enough of them. And even if there were I doubt the protesters would be any safer.
The vice mayor, Wes Bellamy, called out trump. He refused to give info on those injured or on any arrests because they’re “still gathering intel”.

UPDATE
there has been one death confirmed by the mayor of Charlottesville, VA
This is serious enough that my ambulance in Richmond (1.5-2 hours away) has been placed in reserve to respond to this. Pretty much every public safety service in the state is pooling resources should they need to divert over there.
