I just heard there are about two dozen white supremacist protesters in DC

[malaise]

Outnumbered by thousands

Two dozen were on the Metro.

[Leghorn21]

1. Msnbc reporter Garrett Haake is on the ground there:

Just came off the metro and OMG there are so many
more reporters and counter-protestors in DC than
“Unite the Right” attendees coming in. It’s gonna be a blow out.

3. Two dozen or so of them were on the Metro

The idiots don't have metro cards.

[underpants]

6. Maybe they should have trained for this

[Hortensis]

39. Coincidentally, same # worried about Kavanaugh,

possible end of "the regulatory state" protecting us from the very wealthy, end of progressive programs.

Coincidence? Celestial patterns coming together?

[JaneQPublic]

2. So about the size of Trump's inauguration

[malaise]

7. Nicely played

[blueseas]

33. +100

[Stinky The Clown]

4. According to live reports from the scene, you are off by a factor of 10.

They're saying there are about "two dozen" white nationalists on scene. One of the reporters on the scene boarded the Metro with them when they left Vienna, VA. There were less than two dozen who boarded.

Cowards.

[malaise]

9. One said 200 overall - two dozen came by Metro

Thanks

[bearsfootball516]

11. I read an article a few days ago where the planner of last year Unite the right said...

He’d be surprised if more than 30 white nationalists showed up.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

15. Cowards, that's what they are.Cowards & bullies."Brave" & mouthy only when outnumbering their victim

[Achilleaze]

5. There's a national chino shortage, I heard

So the russian-republican Incels were unable to get their cosplay outfits together in time for this event. Kinda sad.

[malaise]

10. ROFL

[sheshe2]

26. Is that Don Junior?

[marble falls]

30. Eric, even Don Jr not that much of a rube.

[IronLionZion]

50. and white polos and tiki torches?

[Voltaire2]

8. their swastikas are flaccid.

[malaise]

13. Like their Dear Leader's

Parts

[bigtree]

12. called it (they actually did a little better than I thought)

11. they're actually afraid of coming to D.C.

...I'll be surprised if they manage to get 50 of them to show up.


13. I remember the Klan rallies in suburban Md.

...about 20 would show, greeted by about 200 counter-protestors.

[malaise]

14. You nailed it

Effin' cowards

[appalachiablue]

31. Wrong town, Lol.

Years ago we heard about a Md. Klan chapter march in DC. Went downtown to Constitution Ave. and waited. No show.

It's going to start raining here beaucoups- darkening skies, thunder, forecast 90% rain and flash flooding 2-10PM.

The right wingers should jump back on the Metro to Vienna, Va. Tyson's Corner, call it a day.

Many anti racist activists in DC is impressive, at Lafayette Square Park across from the WH where speeches begin soon.

[malaise]

44. Thanks for the update

[appalachiablue]

48. Live video of the Rally by Ruptly (Russia run). Just saw police

telling Jason Kessler and others to move out, get into a large white van. 5:05 PM, CNN reporting the same, Unite the Right members moved out of Lafayette Park by police escort. But their speeches are set to start at 5:30-- cancelled maybe? Lol.

I worked at Lafayette Sq. while a grad. student at nearby GWU yrs. back, know it well.

>Video now showing people leaving, in DC Metro Subway station, heading out for the day? Wow.

[3catwoman3]

58. The jackass in the blue suit is displaying his...

...flag backwards.

[AnotherMother4Peace]

16. Aren't they were proud of their message, unashamed, ready to debate & convert. Cowardly bullies all.

[Leghorn21]

17. This isn't a grand total by any means, but so far, this Scott fellow is deeply not impressed!!:

Can’t stress enough how underwhelming the #UniteTheRight2
#unitetheright group is. Twenty MAGA dudes walking inside of
100s of cops, 100s of media, and 1000s of counter demonstrators
down F street

18. what does this sign say?

Someone help me out because its driving me crazy..........

Roses are red
Taxis are yellow
I'd take snakes on a plane
Over Nazis on M?????????????

[bdtrppr6]

23. DC Metro logo

[AZ8theist]

37. Nazis on Main?? not sure but it at least rhymes

[JHB]

45. Nazis on Metro

The M on the sign is the Metro logo

[IronLionZion]

51. Nazis on train

it's not the most effective sign

[Kotya]

19. I don't think there will be many right-wingers who show up.

After last year, a lot of groups on the right grew suspicious of the motives of UTR organizer Jason Kessler, viewing him now as a left-wing agent provocateur and don't want to be seen around David Duke and Richard Spencer. Gavin McInnes and his Proud Boys claimed they wouldn't be anywhere near Charlottesville today.

[salin]

25. I read yesterday that Spencer among others were warning people to stay away.

I think even that freak Anglin was warning people to stay away under concerns of looking pathetic.

[MineralMan]

20. Well, they weren't allowed to bring their guns with them.

Without those, they are too frightened to show up in public. Their firmness disappears somehow and they sort of shrink and don't look so imposing. That leaves them feeling, well, you know, impotent.

Meanwhile, their opponents are not dependent on external support and are standing tall and strong.

[Solly Mack]

21. From MSNBC, counter-protesters outnumber the Trump Nazis by 500-1

or so the on-the-ground reporter quesses.

[Leghorn21]

22. Pretty much!:

This is the “Unite the Right”’ rally crowd. All of them.

?s=20

[Solly Mack]

28. LOL! That's a coffee klatch not a "protest".

Idiots. Hate-filled idiots.

[lindysalsagal]

36. Most public school board meetings have larger, scarier crowds, and they're soccer moms!

[paleotn]

47. If they had any self respect,....

after seeing how pathetically few of their ilk showed up, they would have skulked away home. What f'ing idiots!

[Beartracks]

59. Ha he ha Pathetic Nazis are pathetic. n/t

[salin]

24. circa 3:45 - MSNBC said two dozen (and that they are out numbered by the media)

in Lafayette square surrounded by several hundred counter protesters.

If there are another 175 who came - then they must have tucked their tails between their legs and slinked away.

[Gothmog]

27. There less than two dozen racist idiots at this event

32. If Trump were in town

If Trump were in town, that number would be 25.

[erronis]

35. Or as he would report it, 25,000 - BIGGLY!

[mahatmakanejeeves]

38. The building is the GW University Medical School.

The video is shot at the place where the white nationalists have left Foggy Bottom Metro.

41. Love those signs!

Our side's signs are always so much more witty than right-wingers' are -- to say nothing of our superior spelling and grammar.

[itsrobert]

40. I saw CNN try to interview two of them

They covered their faces with the American Flag and wouldn't answer questions. By their haircuts and attitude, they obviously were active duty military. They don't want to get caught by their command.

[3catwoman3]

54. "They don't want to get caught by their commnder."

I'll just bet they don't. The brass don't take at all kindly to activities that bring dishonor to the military.

Chickenshits. Disrespecting the flag, too, hiding behind it that way.

[NBachers]

42. This makes my day! If only I were there to ridicule and humiliate them - I love the term broflakes!

[Leghorn21]

43. Kessler & and his fellow speakers are playing to this crowd:

I don’t think the other 23 Unite/Right marchers are even there

...and I’m fkn LOVIN IT!!

[mysteryowl]

46. We can thank the haters for all the media publicity it brings for our love demonstrations.

It is good for the world to see US citizens countering the hate. I think the world is concerned about who and what the US is all about.

[Hekate]

49. Hey, alt-right broflakes, WE are the "real America"! This just makes my day.

Plus our signs are spelled better, and we know grammar isn't our mother's mother.

[irisblue]

52. Oops, this was a pic from the womans' march.

[bearsfootball516]

53. That's from the women's march in January.

But it's still an awesome comparison!

[irisblue]

56. Well

damn.

gonna edit.

[bearsfootball516]

57. It's still awesome :)

Two dozen white nationalists, compared to hundreds of thousands of passionate women!

[George II]

55. Snowflakes.
