The Ku Klux Klan was and remains a domestic terror organization. Though far less prevalent now, there are still instances of cross burnings, etc. In its heyday, the Ku Klux Klan would engage in terror tactics to cause fear and flight of black Americans from the south.
The Klan would not just lynch black people. They would burn crosses in yards and burn down homes. A black family might go to church on Sunday and come home to a house in flames.
Marisa Pyle is an advisor to Stacey Abrams. From the comfort of Lisbon, Portugal, she wants you to know that these Klan tactics were not violence.
Property damage is not violence to Marisa Pyle. She, of course, is justifying ANTIFA’s “night of rage,” but the same applies to the Klan throwing bricks through windows, burning crosses, etc.
Terror tactics are designed to be psychologically violent. Ms. Pyle does not think so. What she does think is violence is absurd. She is another reason why it was good Stacey Abrams lost.
Why pay any attention to an obviously deranged and misguided idiot.The more she is criticized the more she will feel justified in her rage against the system. She is just an extremes example of people with blinders, like the recent NYT article listing all the good that their distorted and twisted 1619 project has accomplished.
Of course it’s not violence it’s not her house or car or business getting burned or vandalized these people are truly nuts and just once I wish this would happen to them so they know what it’s like to lose something you worked for and criminals took it away
