The white nationalist guys were protesting it being taken down but they weren't going to change the fact it was going down. So the counter protesters who wanted it down and it was coming down were protesting people protesting. Not a good way to start an afternoon.

They will be disposable like cars. There will be used body lots where salesman rip you off on 'low' mileage bodies.
These are the final three posts on the board. Sorry for the method but I know I'll get cut off if I were to respond to them separately. All three of your posts were funny.
I have seen little of the Charlottesville bullshit on TV, but am willing to bet there are limited camera angles of that car driving into the crowd. I'm sure lots of video cameras were in operation. At first it seemed that taping live situations was a good way to get to the truth. But now it's all hearsay. How about that woman who was in the car when the cop shot her husband and she now has the camera on - after it happens - and is telling us like a commentator what the cop has done and is doing, as if that is proof of anything. Not saying I know for a fact that she is right or wrong, only that putting this crap on the web gives it some kind of undeserved official status, like it's proof of something, when it is not. I would not be surprised if there were other less flattering videos of the protest challengers actions, but in viewing them before turning them over to the media they realized it might not be such a good idea. The camera when used as a tool for getting to the truth can be a dangerous thing.
Elon Musk, never heard of him. If you had nothing to say about him, if all I did was hear the name, I'd think it was some young nepotistic newcomer to the movie acting business. "Man, did you see Elon Musk's latest?" Funny name. Sounds too contrived to be contrived. But who knows. Orignally, in Latin, Elon meant God, and musk meant stink. So when a guy calls himself Elon Musk he is basically saying "God stinks."
"Low mileage bodies, PFF." Yeah, the whole world is a cutthroat carnival marketplace. If daddy long legs were huge they'd be extinct. The only thing saving a lot of creatures deserving to die is their small size, easy to hide. Germs, same thing. If they were too big we'd be able to mow them down. Maybe that is the secret to killing germs. Better than vaccines. It would be scary at first, but once we learn how to control it, we could enlarge the germs, all tiny creatures we don't want around - making them seem scarier in size but also easier to see and pin down for slaughter. Think about it, for real - maybe that is the key. Instead of trying over and over to eradicate stuff too small to nail down in mass, enlarge them artifically, blow them up, to the point of seeming scary - then bring in the national guard, or charge citizens with guns to come out for the big kill party as thousands of different tiny but dangerous unwanted guests are mowed down in mass, like kids with BB guns shooting rats at a garbage dump, laughing and hooting it up. "Man, did you see that one jump when I hit it? Cool."
