Charlottesville Workers Have Shrouded The Robert E. Lee Statue In Black
The city covered two Confederate statues in black tarp to symbolize the mourning for Heather Heyer, who was killed while protesting a violent white nationalist rally.

Charlottesville shrouded the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee in black on Wednesday to symbolize the city's mourning for Heather Heyer, who was killed while protesting a white supremacist rally earlier this month.


The violence in Charlottesville was sparked by the Unite the Right rally — a gathering of white supremacists, neo-Nazis, and the KKK — that was organized to protest the proposed removal of Lee's statue in Emancipation Park.

Why would you spread such a blatant lie Ron? Shrouding the statue has nothing to do with mourning Heather Heyer. It has everything to do with fake democratic values.

Here's the real reason, mob rule

YOUR WORDS STEVE: Why would you spread such a blatant lie Ron? WHAT LIE STEVE? don't you see a Black tarp, covering The Robert E. Lee Statue?

THAT IS NO LIE!!! You can see this with your own eyes.

YOUR WORDS: Shrouding the statue has nothing to do with mourning Heather Heyer. It has everything to do with fake democratic values.

YES IT DOES Heather Heyer was on the side of righting the wrong here with glorifying This egregious display of Hatred, Bigotry, and violence. Did I leave out "ON BOTH SIDES." this is what Heather Heyer lost her life over Steve, can't you see that?

Steve Williams Friday, August 25th 2017 at 2:36PM

You forgot to leave out "on many sides" Ron. Hatred and violence were all on full display, ON MANY SIDES, at this city council meeting. Not hide nor hair of any Heather Heyer mourner.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, August 25th 2017 at 6:53PM

That is not what the president said in his speech just this morning. Trump leave out "ON BOTH SIDES."

President Trump’s comments sparked a backlash among Democrats, and several Republicans, for failing to single out the white nationalists who organized the rally in Charlottesville.

I agreed with the President on August 12 and I nothing I've seen since has changed my mind. As proven with the shrouding of the statues by Charlottesville, there is hatred and bigotry ON MANY SIDES.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Friday, August 25th 2017 at 9:19PM

Heather Heyer was a person who DIED living what she believed, to wright the wrongs in a country she lived in and not to promote This egregious display of Hatred, Bigotry, and Violence by some Neo-Nazi's which have no place in modern today American history. Yet that hate from one of the most abhorrent, repugnant, repulsive, hateful and unacceptable social organizations, worst then, the KKK could ever be, justified based on LIES and the weakness of The White Power and The White supremacy movements here in The United States.

This is what the Robert E Lee Statue represented, he got Thousands of Americans and Hundreds of thousands confederates killed to preserve the right to continue the institution of slavery.

I am not shocked to read that you agreed with the President on August 12 and have not seen nothing I've seen since has changed your mind because you are apart of the problem.

I believe in peaceful speech. I think the monuments should stay. You are the one who defends violence not I.

Steve Williams Friday, August 25th 2017 at 11:42PM

There's more violence coming tomorrow and as always you'll make excuses for the perpetrators.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Saturday, August 26th 2017 at 12:39AM

You can't find anything in my writings that I have promoted any violence and that Steve, is a damn LIE. You are sounding like those Heathens as you attempt to tell that damn LIE.

Are you that damn sad Steve? That is a damn shame.

Steve Williams Saturday, August 26th 2017 at 12:45AM

You side with the anti-fas. It's never the case that they hold a protest and are disrupted by nationalists. They are always the disrupters. And that is your only interest Ron, you prove it every single day, disruption.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Sunday, August 27th 2017 at 10:23PM

Not so FAST, Lying Steve. You can't find anything in my writings that I have promoted any violence can you Steve? "BUSTED FOR LYING ANGIN.

Steve, if you had a point, present it now or stop your LYING!

Steve Williams Sunday, August 27th 2017 at 11:07PM

During the campaign, after the election, through Charlottesville, you've never posted a thing against ANTIFA. Am I wrong?

Steve Williams Sunday, August 27th 2017 at 11:17PM

What do you have to say about what happened in Berkeley today?

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, August 28th 2017 at 10:49AM

Where is your evidence of my writings that I have promoted any violence, you can't find anything can you Steve? "BUSTED FOR LYING AGAIN..... WHY MUST YOU LIE LIKE THIS STEVE? You took your time to create that LIE, WHY?

Now you want to change to a 2:27:15 video that is off topic in Berkeley Rally - CHAOS! Are you a FOOL or WHAT?

Where is your evidence that I have promoted any violence in my writing, where is that evidence?

If you can't find any such evidence, be a man and say that you was wrong by saying you can't find anything in my writings that I have promoted any violence, can you do that?

Steve Williams Monday, August 28th 2017 at 12:24PM

What I said Ron is that you "defend" violence. The people at San Francisco and Berkeley weren't white supremacists. Their rallies were shut down by the Anti-Free Speech movement because they are Trump supporters. The only people that were initiating violence, the only ones arrested were from the Anti-Free Speech side, which you are too Ron.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, August 28th 2017 at 1:02PM

I see that you could not prove your LIE, so you will just try another LIE. Where is your evidence that I have promoted any violence in my writing, where is that evidence?

NEWS FLASH STEVE, this blog is not about your video link at all. This is about you being a man and prove this outlandish allegation Where is your evidence that I have promoted any violence in my writings, where is that evidence?

Since you have not produce any evidence to back up your point, what happen to the man in you to admit that you was wrong to even doubled down on that first LIE in the first place. Where is THE BEEF STEVE?






Steve Williams Monday, August 28th 2017 at 6:54PM

I didn't say you PROMOTE violence Ron, I said you DEFEND it. My proof that you DEFEND the violence in Charlottesville, is that you deny there was hatred, bigotry and VIOLENCE, on MANY sides. ON MANY SIDES.

Steve Williams Monday, August 28th 2017 at 6:56PM

My proof that you defend the violence in San Francisco and Berkeley is that you turn a blind eye to it.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, August 28th 2017 at 7:38PM

YES IT DOES Heather Heyer was on the side of righting the wrong here with glorifying This egregious display of Hatred, Bigotry, and violence. Did I leave out "ON BOTH SIDES." this is what Heather Heyer lost her life over Steve, can't you see that?
Friday, August 25th 2017 at 11:03AM

I might add, Heather Heyer lost her lirfe only by one side and that was the side was The Neo-Nazi, KKK, and other white supremacy groups the spew out fascism, hatred, bigotry, ignorance came from OHIO to mow Heather Heyer down like a dog in the street.

It really looks like you are defending those THUGS ,The Neo-Nazi, KKK, and other white supremacy groups the spew out fascism, hatred, bigotry, that ignorance came from OHIO to mow Heather Heyer down like a dog in the street.

And the sad part of all this was: "Many people of your thinking, looks at the mowing down Heather Heyer was justified."



Steve Williams Monday, August 28th 2017 at 8:36PM

One person murdered Heather Heyer, not any group. Just ONE person Ron, and that is a fact.

Steve Williams Monday, August 28th 2017 at 8:41PM

And if you refuse to look at what happened in San Francisco and Berkeley over the weekend, you are perpetuating violence even more than the white supremacists.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Monday, August 28th 2017 at 9:29PM

Sorry Steve, wrong discussion.

Steve Williams Monday, August 28th 2017 at 11:07PM

Besides being wrong - these three events are absolutely related - that is a cop out Ron and you know it.

Steve Williams Monday, August 28th 2017 at 11:12PM

Shrouding the statue is anti-free speech, San Francisco was anti-free speech and Berkeley was anti-free speech. You and your Democratic leaders are ALL anti-free speech. That's why you support ANTIFA.

Steve Williams Monday, August 28th 2017 at 11:17PM

Your boys at MSNBC probably haven't even reported it, they're using Russia as a smokescreen again. And pitifully, if you don't see it then you can't "report" it, so you've said.

Steve Williams Tuesday, August 29th 2017 at 12:09AM

Fox covered it at 7, 8, 9 and 10, but not a word of it was on the 11th Hour. Maybe Joe and Mika will take a stab at it during their 3 hour megashow tomorrow.

Dea. Ron Gray Sr. Tuesday, August 29th 2017 at 9:23AM

I have not heard of ANTIFA unto Charlottesville. I don't support violence on any side.
