No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

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. my grandmother has some stories too. She lived in the Sudatenland and they were evicted for being Czech by the Germans but the Czech govt said they were German. She ended up just outside one of the ghettos. She said they left scape of food on the windowsills, for those inside. But they didn't have much either. And when the US soldiers freed the city, they told her that the starvation in the ghetto was her fault. She was 10 when Germany invaded the Sudetenland. That's about all she's ever said in my hearing. |

Why would I care what the Swamp thinks? For future reference you may want to learn the correct pronunciation of the following (German) sentence: "Wir haben es nicht gewusst".

But, the conspiracy theory going around is that the liberal government purposefully did not guard the rally so they could frame the guy for driving into the crowd, when really it was a Jewish guy driving a similar car mowing down counter protesters. Also, George Soros hired people to act as white nationalists to make the rally look bigger. Don't forget SCP's theory: Obama paid to have the white supremacists bused into Charlottsville. |

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

I haven't forgotten. I'm still giggling. It's amazing to me what people can come up with when they need justification for something. |

They have the right to free speech and publicly assemble, but that does not excuse violence. Violence is unacceptable. Well it's nice to see what side you're on. |
