Richard Spencer lives in NoVA (or at least has an apartment in the area). Is it somehow better that he's not from Ohio or California? Does it really matter if one side or the other had more out of state protesters than the other? Americans shouldn't be able to travel to another city or state to protest? Were the Freedom Riders wrong to go to Alabama, Mississippi, and elsewhere, to do things that the local authorities (and others) didn't like? I'm having trouble following your argument here. I think we all agree that there are racists everywhere. People in the North have no monopoly on virtue. But I don't know of an example of some Northern state or local government arguing that Confederate memorials can never be removed. Gandhi was an 'outside agitator' also too. Cheers, Scott.

Americans shouldn't be able to travel to another city or state to protest? Protest yes, kill and savagely beat other people no. I dont care what flag you are flying when you do that. Did the freedom riders in mississippi bring clubs and shields to selma? I dont think so and it was the savagery from the other side that started the slow climb out of the horror. Is being black living in Compton safer than being black living in Selma today? Lot less chance of being beaten, falsly accused arrested and shot in Selma in my opinion. Perhaps the Berkely Grandee may have a different one. "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman

You seem to think we don't all know that. When some of the northerners make a pilgrimage to the South to stir shit up, and locals turn out in support, is the critical part of that story that it was outsiders leading the rally? That's why we keep talking past each other. I don't give a fuck where people are from, I care what they do. That doesn't mean I don't notice it's southern states that hang white supremacist flags on their statehouses. -- Drew
