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!!! |

Of course they weren't fired.. We the people love our country, including protesters, However, we will not tolerate destruction of it. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
