I was on the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois board during the Skokie days. I fully supported our defense of the Nazis seeking a permit to march in Skokie, home to many Holocaust survivors. But thinking about Aug. 12 in Charlottesville, Va., and the abominable presidential responses, I keep coming back to the images not only of the murder and wounding of innocent counterdemonstrators, but also to the semi-automatic weapons carried by some of the Nazis (or perhaps Ku Klux Klan members, or both), although they weren’t to my knowledge fired at the Charlottesville rallies. |

| that protest was a calculated setup, It was not real Nazis( only less than 60 of those people were real protesters) at that site, they were antifa, pretending to be Nazis!!! |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
