@Heartiste Don’t let Spencer and the other organizers of UTR off the hook for having made Charlottesville the clusterfuck that it turned out to be. To say that it was poorly planned, unorganized, badly executed, and based entirely on best-case scenarios for what would happen is an understatement. Yes, the left set a trap for UTR, but it was an obvious one, and Spencer and the other organizers of the event walked right into it. We can say it was a learning experience, and thankfully Patriot Prayer, the Proud Boys, and groups like them do appear to have learned from it, but the only way we can ever learn is by admitting to past mistakes. The fault was not in our stars, but in ourselves.
