Is it that easy to get a hold of police riot gear? I have no idea really

And life expectancy is likely gong to continue to climb for the foreseeable future. This unfortunately isn't going to die out :/
That's understandable. Yes.
And yet we're all focused on this instead of the real crime against steak happening.Probably eating his charcoal steak with ketchup and cheering them on.

All those people who thought they were being clever by saying "we just have to wait for the racists to die out" need to get a reality check. Racism passes the torch, in this case, literally.
Well, there is one way it can die out.
The fact that life expectancy is probably going to skyrocket soon, what with CRISPR and the Regen Chip being developed, is really putting me on edge. But then again, these crazy people might not actually use it due to the various religious ideologies that many of them hold. It's all we can hope for.
Virginia governor orders National Guard on standby ahead of 'alt-right' rally
Also calls their views abhorrent.
Yes, this is true. A local state of emergency was decalred and the gathering was declared unlawful.
Charlotte is in North Carolina. This is Charlottesville.I'm checking various Charlotte local news sites and it seems no one is live streaming the protests and apparently the top news is some Pharmacy robbery. I guess no one works on Saturday.
How many Trump tweets about this today
Military surplus stores all over, mail-order via internet. Yeah, probably.Is it that easy to get a hold of police riot gear? I have no idea really

It's going to be a long long long time before white people are a minority. We will get to a plurality first, where white people make up 49% of the population, but getting to the point where a single other ethnic group out numbers white people is a very long way off.Perhaps when white people become the minority, everyone will get on with lives....that would be nice. Will be an interesting future with the tables flipped.
So wait... all these hours later and the riot police STILL haven't shown up? Wtf is this bullshit?!

Why are they still angry? They just won the White House.
How much more racist and fascist do they want this country to be?

It's not full on riot gear, most of them don't even have vests or helmets, they wouldn't survive drunken college students after a football victory. Many of those "shields" are painted wood, only a few of them (like the black dude wisely enough) seem to have legitimate riot shields.Is it that easy to get a hold of police riot gear?

I thought we are supposed to be in a color blind society where electing Obama put us in a post racial period in America

Yeah, you can buy all that stuff if you've got the money for it. It ain't cheap without those federal subsidies. This kind of gear is probably taken from army surplus stores and such.
Their racist predecessors should have never been given mercy.
Scum of the earth, and they have the nerve to come at us being ''thugs''...
Damn them.
Glad to see the team denounce them so quickly and thoroughly. Not sure how much success they'll have legally against them, except maybe force down the YouTube channel, but I wish them luck nevertheless.The Detroit Red Wings felt this was serious enough to immediately denounce.

While there may be a social justice aspect to this, it's all about the money, this harms their brand.A hockey team saw fit to respond to this faster than the president.
I mean Charlottesville. Still nothing.
Yes.More and more, I agree. The north should have completely crushed the south. History is written by the victors and we should have forced the removal of all this confederate shit, not allowed any confederate statues and taught that the confederacy was based around slavery, none of the "positives" that people try to argue.
As for now, we need to classify these alt right groups terrorist groups and crack down on them. However, Trump and his admin have recodified that and said only to investigate non-white groups as terrorists.

They were there, nothing happened, from what was posted in this thread one of the Vanguard fascists sprayed some mace, everyone backed up and regular cops started to disperse everyone.So wait... all these hours later and the riot police STILL haven't shown up? Wtf is this bullshit?!
The camera shot on the one video was from above and through a tree's limbs and the guy spraying the mace did have a helmet on.Ah okay, so it's more ghetto rigged riot gear then. Alright, weird they were mistaken for cops though.

BREAKING: @GovernorVA Terry McAuliffe has declared a State of Emergency in Virginia in response to the white nationalist rally
Just a reminder, these are not baby boomers. This is the future of white America marching.

CORRECTION: The people in riot gear are white nationalist demonstrators, not police officers

The park is evacuated. Confederates march past, but are ordered to disperse, shouting with police. The rally is over.
Bless you, better than me at searching for live streams.
