    After those disclaimers, does anyone know how big the rally and counter protests were? I'm reading everywhere this morning and no one seems to report that. Pictures I have seen seem to show a few hundred nazis with a smaller number of counter protesters. As horrible as the events are and as disgusting as the original planned rally was, I think the scale of the participation is important to know (if possible). I want to believe this is still a very small group of idiots who feels emboldened under the current political climate.
    According to this NPR article, there were about 500 protesters and twice that number of counterprotesters:

    Events Surrounding White Nationalist Rally In Virginia Turn Fatal

    One woman died when a car plowed into marchers, and Virginia State Police said two people were killed when a helicopter crashed near Charlottesville. Dozens were injured in the day's violence.

        Still can't get over that.
        Yeah, that was unbelievable. Even by Trump standards.

            That probably deserves it's place in the 'greatest' hits of Trump's low points.

            But hey, he came through in that hastily prepared press conference, right? He actually called out racists and Nazis by name! I'm sure that wasn't prompted by tanking poll numbers

And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                                        David Duke was offended by the initial mealy-mouthed condolences that placed blame on the protesters AND the nazis, warning Trump to remember who voted him into office. I bet Trump will take this warning under advisement as soon as he learns who David Duke is.

                                            He sure did, and you could tell it came from him directly and not his press person. I appreciated that.

It's even less accurate than calling Obama a Black Panther supporter, and I don't think the big O was a Black Panther guy. Like Obama, Trump is his own supremacist, considers himself superior to others, and is concerned primarily with remaining in power. Unlike Obama, Trump is completely tone deaf and couldn't pick a non-incendiary statement from a short multiple choice list.

                                                            Nearly half the people who voted for president in this country voted for Donald Trump. Commando's frank's takeaway from this extremely tragic incident is that every one of them are closet KKK supporters, Nazi sympathizers, and Putin disciples because President Trump is incapable of high-minded, unifying politics.
