Nap's take (my comments in parentheses)
1. It is precisely the type of speech that we do not wish to hear or like to hear or the type of assembly we don't like or condone that requires protection. Speech and assembly that we all enjoy and love to hear doesn't require it - that's a critical element lost on many/most here)
2. People shouldn't require a permit or a license from govt to assembly or to exercise their speech freedoms. However, govt, in all its wisdom and power, decided that some assembly and speech may attract counter-assembly and counter-speech so govt ruled that permits are required with the idea that this would "allow govt to protect citizens from each other, both those assembling to speak and those counter-assembling to speak. So, the sole justification and reason for govt's presence in Charlottesville was to protect people.
3. The police failed to separate the groups. The police abdicated their obligations to provide protection; they cut and run, basically and/or simply failed (at best) to do the job they have inserted themselves in by law to do. NOTE: Govt has passed legislation making it impossible for any citizen (say, the woman killed by the driver, or anyone else hurt at this event) for its negligence. (Nice to be able to protect itself like that, isn't it???)
