That's fine, but why the rush from the right to defend them?
I do not defend their ideology, nor defend who they are. I defend the facts. It's a fact that their demonstration was legally permitted and the city neglected to provide proper security and oversight over both the alt-right demonstrators and antifa counter protesters. Both of these groups have repeatedly committed violence in the past. There is no defense necessary and if anyone in the media puts sole blame on the alt-right demonstrators, then they are sympathizing with the violent tactics used by antifa and left wing groups, and are ignoring the responsibility of the city in this specific issue.
If you want to blame the alt-right for being violent, that's absolutely accurate, and there is nothing to defend, but if you want to go a step further than that then facts must be stated. One cannot be against the nazis, and be for the violent tactics used by antifa and remain consistent.
