Violent Demonstrations

TRIGGER WARNING:  In which I suggests there is thuggishness on the left.

For John, BLUF:  Then there is the aphorism:  "First reports are always wrong".  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Tim Kaine Has Harsh Words For Violent Thugs, Not Including His Son Who Was Arrested for Violent Disruption of a Peaceful Rally

From The Ace of Spades, 16 Aug 2017.

Here is the tweet that triggered Ace's ire:

Senator Tim Kaine
Charlottesville violence was fueled by one side: white supremacists spreading racism, intolerance & intimidation. Those are the facts.

Turns out his son was arrested, a couple of months ago, while being violent on the other side, the Ctrl-Left.

To be clear, the Klan and the National Socialists are not operating in the spirit of the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, except under the First Amendment.  But, then, neither are those on the Ctrl-Left, wearing masks while trying to intimidate those with repugnant ideas, yet who are exercising their Free Speech Rights.

In the end this will get rinsed away.

Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
