> [@Fiveyearlurker](#): > > Trump condemned the violence “[on many sides](http://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-to-comment-on-violence-in-charlottesville-over-white-nationalist-rally-live-updates/)” because he is a coward who is afraid of his base. Damn his orange hide. Same article reports that at least one person has died due to the car driving into the crowd. ---

You see this [hand signal](https://www.vox.com/2017/8/12/16138246/charlottesville-nazi-rally-right-uva) that these racists do to self identify? Trump is literally inviting people into the White House to [pose](https://images.dailykos.com/images/369354/large/hoft-tweet_%282%29.jpg?1487774389) with that [hand](http://www.haaretz.com/polopoly_fs/1.786573!/image/1387849897.jpg_gen/derivatives/headline_609x343/1387849897.jpg) [signal](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5q1b-_WUAAMMdW.jpg).

The racist fucks who propogate this count on the fact that it looks like the OK sign. “What?, I didn’t do anything racist, it’s just the OK sign.” Because they sincerely believe that everyone else is as stupid as they are. ---

At this point, I’m for all-out war with these fucks. Roll the National Guard and cut the fuckers down where they stand. Hunt them wherever they flee, root them out and exterminate them from history. Fucking Nazis need to fucking die like the vermin they are. And every single person taking part in that rally is a fucking Nazi. Fuck their civil rights. Kill them all, and do it now. When armed “militias” show up to “defend” the scum from protesters, they lose all protections for “peaceable assembly.” Oh, and Fuck you, **Shodan**. Scumbag asshole. ---
