text: The Charlottesville supremacists are not only hoist on their own petard, they've also fouled the waters for similarly-minded groups elsewhere who might have actually been willing to engage in honest, rational discussion about removing or relocating Confederate statues and monuments. Instead, thanks to the actions of a few wacko haters, there are multiple other communities quickly, unilaterally, and decisively carrying out the removals. Considering that the Charlottesville crowd's objective was to preserve a CSA statue, they are most definitely not getting what they wanted. It serves **them** right, but in a way it's unfortunate that they piddled in a bunch of other people's cornflakes in the process.
