A North Carolina KKK leader says that he is “glad” that anti-white supremacist protester Heather Heyer was run down and killed in Virginia. Neo-Nazi James Fields faces a murder charge for the death of 32-year-old Heyer, who was protesting an alt-right rally in Charlottesville before she was killed. “I'm sorta glad that them people got hit and I'm glad that girl died,” Justin Moore “a Grand Dragon” in a KKK organization, told WBTV. “They were a bunch of Communists out there protesting against somebody's freedom of speech, so it doesn't bother me that they got hurt at all.” www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/kkk-leader-says-that-he-is-glad-about-heather-heyers-death/ar-AAq9Z68?li=BBnb7Kz

“When a couple of them die, it doesn’t bother us,” Imperial Wizard Barker said. “They’re always attacking and messing with our rallies.” The voicemail for the group’s phone number also praises Fields. “Nothing makes us more proud at the KKK than we see white patriots such as James Fields Jr, age 20, taking his car and running over nine communist anti-fascist, killing one n----r-lover named Heather Heyer,” the hateful message said. The eruption of violence this weekend has been met with nationwide condemnation of neo-Nazis and the KKK’s ideology, and praise for Heyer standing up to hate. “For her, it wasn’t just lip service,” her dad told the Daily News of how his daughter, a paralegal in Charlottesville, fought injustice.

I never realized "freedom of speech" included "freedom to commit violence".

I heard one of them on TV explaining that the car driver had a right to run down all those people because 'someone hit his car.'
Thank you, dear Mr Trump, for encouraging all these cockroaches to come out into the light, put on their jack boots and parade all around, hoping someone gives them half an excuse to kill them.

There are asshats in the world. And, that for someone to say that is truly despicable. However, there were multiple comments about wishing Scalise dead as well.

Is there some reason you didn't stop after the bolded portion? Do you have to add a "but liberals are bad too" qualifier every time you denounce a self-proclaimed conservative celebrating a murder? Why is that?

I just read that the Jewish synagogue in Charlottesville, VA asked for police protection, and got NOTHING. It's alarming that the authorities did nothing to keep the crazies away. And yes, those KKK/Nazis were marching intentionally past the synagogue, yelling out their hate to the Jewish people. Unbelievable that this could happen in OUR country. Especially disturbing is that some of the crazies suggested online that the synagogue be burned down, but thankfully no one actually acted on that. Seriously, what is wrong with these people?

If he's doing a great job, then how do you feel about all the Republicans that are coming out and saying something directly? Are they off their rocker? Is it fake news? A bunch of people hacking Republican social media?

Synagogues are not the only places of worship being intimidated by the KKK, American Nazis, white nationalists, or anti-Muslim hate groups. The below happened out side a mosque in Irving Texas in 2015 as worshipers were entering to begin prayers. Notice the gunman's mask used to hide his identity.

This is a great quote for the younger posters here whose parents didn't live during World War II: It's useful to mention that Niemoller was falsely charged with treason, and found guilty by the Nazis and wound up spending a chunk of WWII being moved around to various concentration camps.

My Mother not only lived during WWII, but she lived in Nazi occupied Europe. I had this stuff taught to me from the age of ought. So, please try and excuse me if I get a little worked up on this topic. It is "bred into me" as they say. Nazis, KKK, and their ilk are all evil. Period. My beloved sister-in-law was born in Auschwitz, we have no idea how her poor mother kept her alive. Her mom was Polish, so she lived, but she had to serve the men.

I've been watching online, and listening to the funeral of Heather Heyer. She lead an excellent life. Jaguar, I can't even imagine the conditions your SIL & her Mother lived through. My Mom had a friend who survived inside Germany during the war, but she got out as quickly as she was able to after the war. The advice she gave, after she got out, was that once the Nazis had gained control, & you had to worry about your neighbors "telling" on you, the best thing she could do was keep her head down during the war. It didn't protect her city from being bombed, or food shortages, but she survived.

They have the right to free speech and publicly assemble, but that does not excuse violence. Violence is unacceptable.

Also, George Soros hired people to act as white nationalists to make the rally look bigger.

My Great-Uncle was in contact with friends & family back in Norway during the Nazi occupation there. Just because Norway was trying to remain neutral doesn't mean the Nazis treated the citizens with kid gloves. There are stories that he heard that were so horrible that he would not tell us of. There is a reason that Norway hated Germany for many years after the war was over.

Also, George Soros hired people to act as white nationalists to make the rally look bigger. Yes. Apparently one of the more rapid talk show hosts claims you could tell by looking at the alt-right guys that 'all those guys are Jewish' who apparently got hired to play Nazi sympathizers.
Not sure how he's so certain those were all Jewish guys. Maybe their storm trooper helmets slipped and their yamakas showed.
Kind of surprising Soros couldn't go to a talent agency and hire some big strapping Aryan actors for that role, since he's the billionaire dark lord of the alt-left, but I'm sure the evil liberal overlord has his reasons.
