Yeah. Iirc there were cops nearby just kinda' watching, at some point or another. Dunno if it was in the vid or not.

I came across that claim, too... but for all I've seen yet, that's still just a claim.

I'm cynical enough about law enforcement attitudes towards these things, that it doesn't take much to convince me, though.

Inb4 someone claims this is the left's fault for initiating the mob violence trend, because white nationalists would have remained peaceful if they didn't feel the need to avenge bike lock and Spencer punch.

Yeah... maybe this time it just was folks getting things mixed up or somethin'. It'd be... nice isn't the right word, but something vaguely shaped like it.

Speaking of Spencer, allegedly he was there and got arrested?
Oh yes, most certainly. When I mentioned we could put him on the priority list for the Ambrosia vaccine, he was so willing it was almost pathetic.

Hm, on another forum (Obsidian Entertainment forum, if you want to know), someone who is a resident of Charlottesville said that there were reports of gunfire and there seems to be reports of a state police helicopter that was downed via gunfire. I did ask for an article link on that.

Pretty ancedotial as far as that goes, but if accurate, not good....

Why contain it? Let it spill over to the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets! In the end, they'll beg us to save them.

Meanwhile, Trump is doing a vagueish condemnation of the whole thing, though it sounds like he's blaming violence on both sides rather than just the white supremacists/nationalists.

Of course, why would he upset his voter base

Seems like the kind of thing you have an actual report on. Police helicopters don't tend to go down without plenty of people seeing. But if it was true, wouldn't surprise me if some freedom loving individual decided the day was good in general for lashing out at "the state."

Found one through google's news aggregate: http://wset.com/news/local/report-helicopter-crashes-near-golf-course-in-charlottesville No indication on how it happened or whether it's related.

Does that include the two people that were in the chopper?

If some neo-nazi actually went and shot down a police helicopter...man. There's gonna be as much of a shitstorm about that as the car murder. I've never even heard of a police helicopter getting downed.

Were there any reports of people shining lasers at it? That seems more plausible to me than bullets.
