John McCain's still a cunt, even if he's right now in stating the obvious.

The 1st death from the car ramming is Heather Heyer. The cops who died in the chopper crash are Lt H. Jay Cullen & Trooper Berke M.M. Bates.

was it the trucks fault? should we issue an automobile ban of some kind?
Rexli78
One dead, and 19 injured I wonder...how many people could he have killed with a gun instead of a car?
barnwolf
Maybe not a ban, but trucks should definitely require a licence to use and be registered.
barnwolf
Of course the licence should be limited to people of a responsible age, who pass a test and who don't fit a high risk criminal profile.

Well, we should at least make people take tests (proving basic competence and the ability to operate them safely) and get licenses.

Well most people know what it is but it was used in a more ugly way. I find the confederate flag ugly and I see no southern pride from it.

It might not be the official flag of the confederacy, but it has come to represent the confederacy in the years since the civil war.
