COMMENTARY Charlottesville Donnybrook
harlottesville, Virginia, a city named after Britain’s first black queen, was the scene of a bloody riot Saturday, C Aug. 12. The fray resulted in the death of one woman, who was mowed down by a car; plus, there were many other people injured. Have politicians and the news media told the correct and complete story about what happened, or have Americans been de- liberately misled? Let’s look at it. One does not have to accept the racist and nationalist vision of the Unite the Right or- ganization to recognize and respect its First Amendment rights. Moreover, the group ob- tained a city permit to hold a peaceful rally to protest the lawful removal of the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee from Eman- cipation Park, formerly known as Lee Park. It was the leftist protesters who did not have a city permit to assem- COMMENTARY ble for a rally on that day. Virginia Gov.
