Let me say this just one more time:

That someone is a Neo-Nazi, a White Supremacist, KKK member or racist does not render them bereft of the First Amendment.  Just as being a member of BLM or the Antifa does not render them bereft of the First Amendment.

It is not acceptable, legal or excusable to meet speech by any such person with violence.

Period.

To suggest, state, or advocate that such is the case, or to promote the premise that violence is an appropriate remedy for speech you find vile and outrageous is to declare civil war, because there are others who will likely find yourspeech vile and outrageous and by your statement you have made the claim that just punishment for speech you deem vile is to be found at the hands of a mob.

The press and now lawmakers are openly advocating for the complete breakdown of civil society — they are stating by the droves that violence in response to mere speech that one finds offensive yet has the protection of the First Amendment is not only worthy of said violence the person uttering same is not worthy of having their assailants prosecuted or the protection and investigation of the police forces to interdict violence intended for or served upon them.

These people are explicitly refusing to call on the carpet Governor McAuliffe and everyone in the chain of command from the Charlottesville PD upward who were involved in any way in intentionally funneling opposing protesters into each other, knowing that some of them were armed and then allowed said PD to sit back and withdraw when violence occurred.

Let me remind you that not only did the “alt-right” people have a permit the city attempted to revoke it and their action was struck down by a Federal Judge who granted an injunction against the city.

Revisionist history is setting in regarding Leftist violence.

It’s setting in because too many on the Left regard groups like Antifa as useful counters to the alt-right and Neo-Nazis, even though Antifa has targeted mainstream conservatives and engages in violence that breaks the rules of any civilized society.

On Tuesday, Professor NDB Connolly of Johns Hopkins University discounted the value of liberalism, which he derided as “paper,” in The Washington Post:

Liberalism — our paper — preserves our country’s long commitment to contracts. Under liberalism, citizens stand in contract with their government. The government’s job, in turn, has been to enforce contracts between individuals and groups.

But, Connolly continued, white supremacy represents our country’s “scissors”: there have been people historically cut out of our social contract. But there is a “rock”: resistance. Here’s Connolly:

Rocks can look like armed self-defense or nonviolent direct-action campaigns. They appear, too, as blunt, bald public speech about the hatred arrayed against the dispossessed … No matter its form, rock breaks scissors … in April 1968, amid a flurry of other “rocks,” riots shook American cities following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. It took that rolling unrest, not the promise of further economic growth, to spur President Lyndon Johnson and Congress to action. Within a week they had passed the Fair Housing Act. Over the past century, liberalism, vexed by an ever-sharp, ever-cutting white supremacy, has needed these rocks.

Connolly concluded:

Segregationists have again assumed their pedestals in the Justice Department, the White House and many other American temples. Paper alone won’t drive them out. Start throwing rocks.

This is an explicit call for violence. It’s also a historically ignorant one. Riots in American cities helped empty out those cities, creating white flight, the erosion of the tax base, and the resegregation of cities that were integrating quickly (Detroit and Los Angeles being the two most obvious). Equating non-violent resistance with riots is both counterproductive and immoral. Martin Luther King, Jr., was not a member of the Black Panther Party, and MLK’s message was far more successful than Huey Newton’s.
