Both sides are guilty of criminal acts
Recently, violence suddenly erupted in Charlottesville. Alt-righties, including white supremacists and neo-Nazis, came to protest destruction of a statue.
“Alt-lefties,” including Antifa and Black Lives Matter came to counterprotest. Words, followed by weapons, followed by wounds and deaths pummeled people on both sides. Both sides were involved.
Most people hate one side much more than the other, but both sides are guilty of criminal acts. Hating President Trump doesn’t alter the fact that he’s right about culpability on both sides.
