I certainly don't condone violence.  And, yes, you're right....the white spuremacists and white nationalists are more than happy to engage in violence....they've made that quite clear.  I'm sure I didn't change the fellow's mind regarding using the term "N$#%#", but at least he knows one person at least finds it unacceptable.  Perhaps that's the best we can do.....take a personal stand for what it's worth.  I believe the counter-demonstrations can serve the same purpose IFF (that's a math term meaning "if and only if") they are non-violent.  Given the emotions involved on both side, I fear that "non-violent" counter-protest is unlikely.  Gary Crum
