    I didn't ask about the terrorist attack. I asked about the one innocent in the van being attacked that he used in his message... see my first message and what I quoted in it.

        D***ed English confusion again. The terrorist was in the van, not the innocent tourist. But re-reading his original comment I can see how non-English speakers could read it.

          Bullshit there is no parallel between two mutually antagonistic group having a go at each other and a single coward attacking unsuspecting tourist who are minding their own business using a fucking van. If you meant that as humour it was in very bad taste. If you actually believe there is a parallel then you have a warped sense of balance.

              "but there was violence on both sides!!!!!" Yeah, the police shot the assholes. Sometimes, you need to identify the assholes and deal with them. (Of course Trump didnt tweet this, I was merely drawing a parallel between biggoted racists and biggoted racists).

                    "unsuspecting tourist who are minding their own business using a f***ing van." He meant the terrorists used a van to kill innocents, not that the innocent was in the van.

                            Why does everyone have the same reaction to what you write? I often think it is because we read subtlety into words which you lack. ie, your statements really are as simplistically wrong as they appear at prima facie.

                                I remember I actually explained something to you in depth, which I thought was pretty obvious, some time back on SB1.0. Your reaction was wow, thats pretty subtle.

                                  The right wing nazi demonstrators (as despicable as they might be) had a bona fide permit from the authorities for their rally, where they got attacked by left wingers, while the police was munching donuts in their barracks. I doubt the terrorists could provide such documents.

                                    While the US has no hate speech laws they have to expect this kind of violence and stop whining about it.

                                      I agree, I place the blame at the local authorities. First of all they shouldn't have allowed the rally in the first place, but once allowed, they should have put heavy riot police in place, which was nowhere to be seen if you look at the videos.

                                          D***ed English confusion again. The terrorist was in the van, not the innocent tourist. But re-reading his original comment I can see how non-English speakers could read it.

                                          Thank you, I did not realise it could be misinterpreted, I am going to have to think through my sentence structure better.
