The video shows Unite the Right March and at the end their encounter with Antifa.
Robert E. Lee was a traitor and generally a sick man. The statue should be turned to gravel, sand, or anything of any value. But he also died 150+ years ago. There are bigger travesties in the world than leaving it up.
And honestly, many BLM member are also sick and selfish. Many have repeatedly shown that they're willing to put their own selfish interest above that of this great country and humanity in general. The same goes for the alt right/Nazis/white supremacists. They're sick, too.
There's a point where I don't have a great deal of tolerance for those who repeatedly ask for handouts from society instead of what they can do to make it better. Both extremes have long since crossed that threshold, and I impatiently wait for the day when these groups will be truest marginalized and the sane middle will unquestionably reign supreme.
We need to move beyond petty divisions.
I love my country, and I love every sane person it it, regardless of their race, gender, sexuality, religion, or political beliefs.

History isn't being erased, it's simply being put where it belongs.....in history books and museums

No condemnation of the Klan? No condemnation of the Nazis? Non condemnation of white supremacy/nationalism? While they are claiming his support? Within the context of an active terrorist attack?
Outrageous.

So then there should be no statues anywhere since history belongs in history books and museums? Or is it that the totalitarian left gets to decide which history belongs only in history books and museums?

RE: Unite The Right/Antifa/BLM-Charlottesville Rally
A while back someone on this forum made a post regarding the English and the more mature attitude they have regarding their history and associated monuments. It seem apt right now given the tensions surrounding the reminders of our own history.

Where was your faux outrage at the ANTIFA terrorist acts? What's disgusting is selective outrage.
Whoever did this should face the harshest possible penalties, as should anyone who commits a terrorist act.

Yea, lynchings are apparently okay, if done by white nationalists that support Donald Trump. 1 dead so far.

Outrageous.
You nailed it. Trump may not want it but no one can deny that white nationalists are in fact Trump supporters.
