1) White supremacists/nationalists see anything short of a flat-out repudiation as a victory.....which is what Trump gave them.

2) The white supremacists/nationalists were there trying to provoke a response.

3) A white supremacists/nationalist decided to intentionally drive his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, and others from that side have praised/defended him (one going so far as to call Heather Heyer an "animal" that got what she deserved).  Others have said that there will likely be more deaths.

4) You have no better idea than anyone else of who attacked who first, so spare us.

We get it, though.....Trump will defend your guns to the maximum, so you don't really care what he says or does.  If that's the case, then fine, but at least be a man and admit it.
