Charlottesville, Virginia Declares State Of Emergency As Twin Terror Groups BLM And The KKK Duke It Out

A state of emergency has been declared around Charlottesville, Virginia, amid clashes between “Unite the Right” white nationalist demonstrators and counterprotesters.

EDITOR’S NOTE: It’s a battle of the hate groups today as Black Lives Matter takes on the KKK at a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia today. For my money, the only real difference between these two gangs is that one believes in white supremacy and the other believes in black supremacy. To me, I see two wings on the same bird. Both groups want to rewrite the past in order to control the future. They can both go jump in the lake. 

Gov. Terry McAullife declared a state of emergency shortly before 11 a.m. ET, moments before the rally was scheduled to begin at noon at Emancipation Park in Charlottesville, according to a tweet sent from the Democratic governor’s Twitter account.

Using megaphones, police declared an unlawful assembly at about 11:40 a.m., and gave a five-minute warning to leave Emancipation Park, where hundreds of neoNazis, Ku Klux Klans members and other white nationalists had gathered to protest the removal of a Confederate statue. They were met by equal numbers of counterprotesters, including clergy, Black Lives Matter activists and Princeton professor Cornel West.
