I’m talking about This Image; I know it’s a crappy shot. Still, I’ve been told that is a group of peaceful counter-protesters ‘Guarding’ the statue; but they are surrounded by a torch wielding mob.
Does anyone know what is actually going on, in that photo?
It was alt-right nazis with their home depot tiki torches surrounding peaceful protesters in Charlotte: http://ktla.com/2017/05/15/torch-carrying-white-nationalist-group-protests-removal-of-confederate-statues-in-virginia/
There’s a better shot of it in this video at 0:30, and in other clips you can hear them chanting “white lives matter.”
