The NYT has an op-ed on this ACLU hate speech/ACLU topic today, and, as usual, 99% of the commenters have no f**ing idea what the ACLU involvement was with this Nazi/KKK march in Charlottesville.

There was never a denial of the right to march, REPEAT there was NEVER any move to stop the march.

The ACLU became involved when the city, FOR SAFETY REASONS, decided to relocate the march to McIntire Park which is a huge green grassy park at the edge of town.

The city said the downtown Emancipation Park area was too small, and the streets too narrow to keep people safe and under some control. They were right.

The Virginia ACLU literally said to the court "there is no proof of safety concerns" and a judge agreed. link on news report from last week.

I emailed the Virginia ACLU and asked them to not second guess public officials determination of safety measures in the future, that some might say they had blood on their hands, They gave no response.

good! they really need to

Good! They really need to have this argument. Similar fine tuning needed on terrorist plotting issues.
