Courtesy of WaPo:White nationalists now chanting - “We will be back”. About 3 dozen supporters in Emancipation Park. Plenty of police on standby in park. http://pic.twitter.com/LuJEsAgxQy— Matt Talhelm (@MattTalhelm) October 7, 2017
Richard Spencer, who in August led white nationalists and white supremacists in a torchlight march across the University of Virginia campus that touched off a weekend of deadly clashes, returned Saturday night to Charlottesville.
Spencer, a white nationalist, posted video on social media of followers carrying torches to the statue of Robert E. Lee, which the city has sought to remove.
The march coincided with the university’s celebration of its bicentennial.
“It was a planned flash mob,” Spencer said in an interview Saturday night. “It was a great success. We’ve been planning this for a long time.”
“We wanted to prove that we came in peace in May, we came in peace in August, and we come again in peace,” he said.
Their message, he said, is that, “Our identity matters. We are not going to stand by and allow people to tear down these symbols of our history and our people – and we’re going to do this again.”
Actually they are going to stand by while these symbols of hatred are torn down, because showing up with Tiki torches and Nazi armbands does nothing to stop them.
As for demonstrating again, I am sure they will.
However now they are too afraid to come out en masse and are only doing these quiet little flash mobs, and then fleeing the area before the big bad counter protesters show up and make them piss themselves.
No, despite having a sympathizer in the White House it is clear that the White Supremacist time is passed, and Americans will no longer cower in fear at their presence.
