But it seems like a shady idea to allow that anywhere around an event that people are showing up to with motorcycle helmets, bottles filled with cement, and noxious chemicals of all sorts. I may be overreacting, but this is a piss poor reflection of where we are as a society at the moment. All of those bullshit flags waiving, and the savage behavior on both sides is truly disturbing.
Virginia is an open carry state. In the Commonwealth of Virginia you can purchase a firearm without any sort of license. A background check occurs, but the only record of what you purchased is maintained by the dealer. There are no restrictions on what you can purchase and you are allowed to carry it out of the store with you, loaded, out in the open. Other than specific government property or private property where it is posted as prohibited, you can carry your firearm anywhere you please. So they were perfectly within the law.

Damn....
Stay safe down there man. I don't know how far away the "other side of the mountain" is, but this seems like it has the potential to linger.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.

It's about a 45 minute drive from me, but I'm over there on a regular basis. It is my wife's hometown, it is home to UVA (and being an employee in finance at another state university I have to go over there for work things from time-to-time), I have family and friends over there, etc. I wasn't able to go over, today, but several people from my church were there, including our pastors and their spouses, and I had friends from both sides of the mountain in the midst of it.

That is a different statement than it's okay for people to run over protesters just for being in the way.
People should stand by their words.

No, that includes them. Of course, they wouldn't have been in that helicopter there had it not been for the carpetbagging bigots of the alt-right.
