We chide these idiots on the internet but they don't realize or don't care that under the wrong circumstances they could screw the entire country or hopefully just the state it happens in. I just really hope it is not in my state.
The folks around here love their "Southern Heritage" and Confederate memorials too.
There is a part of me that is suspicious if it all is part of a larger scheme and these idiots rioting in the streets are just useful idiot puppets.

I have been watching video from people on the ground who were live streaming and I don't know who became physical (with punches etc.) first, but it looks like the counter protesters especially BLM people were throwing water bottles before any punches were thrown. I think there are idiots and violent hateful people on both sides.

Wouldn't surprise me one bit, to be honest. There were 2 other times these Nazi and KKK members protested at the same spot about the statue. The first time it never got violent. The second time an anti-racist protest group showed up and it was broken up by police before the violence started. I really wish I could find info of what the full intent was of the Nazi group during the latest protest was, to know if they really planned on any violence to begin with. I honestly think it is stupid to take down the statue, along with other statues and renaming of streets named after people who were part of the Confederacy. Not only is it a part of this countries history, but like with Robert E. Lee, he was against slavery, freed some slaves, and even started schools for them. There was a lot of good he did, and he shouldn't be erased from our history because he fought for the south during the Civil War. It wasn't long ago that members of the BLB were killing and threatening white police officers who had never harmed anyone, and because of other protests they started anyways, that is why I am not surprised they would have started the fighting here.

When BLM groups, and Liberals in general, seem to protest, there most always seems to be violence without any counter-protest group being there. Just look at what happened after Trump was elected. Then you have what happened in Chicago just yesterday. I am having a hard time finding an incident in which a white supremacy group not only had a protest, but with no opposing protesters there, instigated violence on their own. Also I never really assumed the counter protesters started the violence, just only stated that based off of their actions in the recent past that I wouldn't be surprised if they did. There is a bit of a difference in the 2 statements. Had I assumed they started the violence, my comment would have been "Based off of their protests in the pasts and how they have instigated violence on their own, I would bet it was the counter protesters who actually started the violence.".

Nazis bring out the worst in people....I won't transfer responsibility. Nazis are scum of the earth and need stamping out.
0 ups, 7y
So the Nazi scum bring out the worst in people, the "worst" was already present in them but they are not responsible for their own actions?
I need some clarification, please.
Are you saying you won't transfer the responsibility of "peaceful counter protesters" onto the Nazi scum, which I agree with. Or are you saying you won't transfer the responsibility of the Nazi scum onto the "peaceful counter protesters" who came with clubs and ax handles and OC spray to "bash the fash"?
Just for fun watch this (some adult content):

Condemnation belongs to Satan. Conviction belongs to the Holy SPIRIT. Judgement belongs to YAHUAH. Defense belongs to YAHUSHA. Pick your choice.

But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. Galatians 2:11

condemn- express complete disapproval of, typically in public; censure

Condemnation is exactly what Paul did to Peter in public at Antioch. You do realize that only words in context have meaning, right? Maybe you should start looking up alternate meanings and definitions of words to try and discern the context in which they are being used before you comment.

You are excused. You are under condemnation, that's why you are acting like that, just to let you know.

I'm just pointing out that you look rather foolish when you spout off one definition of a word when that was not the context the word was being used in.

If by condemnation you mean "the action of condemning someone to a punishment; sentencing." you are correct. However the correct definition of the word as used in the title is "the expression of very strong disapproval; censure.". It would be like in the sentence "He doesn't understand the GRAVITY of the situation he is in.". In this sentence, does GRAVITY mean A) the force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies tend to fall toward the center of the earth, B) serious or critical nature, or C) a unit of acceleration?

I never said to ask your father any questions about me. I said you should be willing to listen to what is being said, regardless of who it comes from, and then go to him to see what he says. I will tell you this, there is a high possibility your father and my Father is the same, but your views of who he is and his son are clearly different than that of my Father and His Son. It must get lonely if you are only willing to discuss things with people that you require to already have the same views of who God is. See my God, Father, Abba, I Am tells me not to discriminate and be willing to listen to others regardless of who they are, and then weigh what they said to what He has said. It is the only way to fully witness to the lost and show others who my Father is. But if you are unwilling to do this on something simple as a definition for a word depending on the context it is used in, then clearly you are ignorant and arrogant and don't follow the same Father that I follow.

You are confused. I have been listening, and DSCERNING.
I belive your understanding from listening is "agreeing or debating". I answer the way I answer. I reject all your judgments about me because you have NO AUTHORITY to judge. I do.

No man has the authority to judge anyone, including you. That even includes judging outselves. I have not judged you. I have stated that based off of your comments that 1) you are arrogant and ignorant for not being willing to listen to other people's opinions/thoughts and 2) you clearly don't follow the same father that I do. Have you been actually listening, you would have asked your father about the definition of the word condemnation based on the context it is used in. You clearly haven't because you clearly refuse to listen to others because you think you know more than everyone else. I don't know if you think you are some form of prophet or what, thinking you have the right to judge anyone, but if that is the case based off of every comment you have made to me, you are a false prophet not of the Living God. Goodbye.

Even if you look http://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/condemn-condemnation/ you will see that in the Bible there are many different contexts for the word condemned. One of the definition, by use in the Bible is to declare something wrong. It isn't only for use of punishment for doing something wrong, but declare the act to be wrong as well. Maybe the problem isn't with humans own understanding of the definition but your understanding of the meaning(s) that your father is giving you.

My God, my Father, my Abba, was revealed to His people by 1 name, I Am. His only son and true messiah was and still is Jesus Christ. To be unwilling to accept guidance or correction, let alone be willing to address your father for confirmation is showing arrogance in thinking that only you can be correct in the subject. My Father and your father could be the same, but until I fully understand who you claim yoir father is and what you understand him to be, I will not be able to refer to him as our Father. I do believe that the base/root of the god in every religion emerged from the same God, but at the time of Abraham and the forming of every tribe from his descendents, the interpretation of God changed in each one of them, and the prophecy of the Messiah that was foretold before the formation of those tribes changed to fit the beliefs of each one of those tribes. I have faith in my beliefs that the Father and Son I follow are the true God and Messiah that was originally foretold, just as you have the same belief in yours. However being unwilling to listen and consider the possibilities because of fear of being wrong, that does show ignorance and arrogance, and really shows that your comments are not written out of love.

If you know I Am, then you should also know the One who tells us who I Am is, who is also I Am.

I am NOT asking HIM any questions about you. I am NOT interested. When you come to me with MY Father's name, with Blessings, I shall talk to you.
