Lib Politicians’ “Stand Down” Orders In Charlottesville Coming Back To Haunt Them After ...
Lib Politicians’ “Stand Down” Orders In Charlottesville Coming Back To Haunt Them After Pissed Off Judge Throws Book At Them
The deadly riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, are back in the news. This time with news that a group of lawyers is suing the City of Charlottesville, the Charlottesville Police Department, as well as the Virginia State Police for failing to protect citizens during the riots which left a trail of multiple people injured and the death of Heather Heyer.
The client being represented by this group of lawyers, Robert Sanchez Turner, claims that city and state officials stood down knowing that the protest was going to become destructive and violent and did nothing to stop it until it was too late. Jen Little, who is the Public Relations Director working with the group of lawyers representing Robert Sanchez Turner stated, “Mr. Turner was assaulted while police officers watched but failed to act to keep him safe or arrest those responsible for the attacks. As reported by Mr. Turner and confirmed by footage from dozens of media cameras and hundreds of handheld cameras and phones, police stood down. This stand-down enabled neo-Nazis to inflict a modern-day race war in the streets of Charlottesville. Mr. Turner has constitutional rights, and the City of Charlottesville and the police leadership failed him and countless others when they stood down and allowed racists and violent extremists to run amok in the city.”
Mr. Turner was not the only one seriously injured in these riots, and it is likely that others who suffered because Charlottesville Police and the Virginia State Police stood down will bring forth additional legal actions. It has not been confirmed who may have given a stand down order but this lawsuit will surely get the answer.
Evidence likely to be used in the legal proceedings which Robert Sanchez Turner is bringing against the aforementioned parties may include the information the Department of Justice is demanding from Dreamhost, a web host provider that provided services to disruptj20.org, an anti-Trump web site seemingly used as an online meeting place for leftists to coordinate their violence. According to The Wrap, “The DOJ is looking for Dreamhost to share information from visitors to disruptj20.org — a site that has organized protests against Donald Trump, including his presidential inauguration. In its search warrant, the DOJ calls for Dreamhost to provide emails connected to the site, as well as subscriber information and “names, physical addresses, telephone numbers, and other identifiers.” Naturally, this has the owners of disruptj20.org and Dreamhost in a panic. Both parties have stated they are resisting the efforts of the Department of Justice to be forced to turn over this information. Dreamhost responded to the DOJ search warrant with the following, “The Internet was founded and continues to survive, in the main on its democratizing ability to facilitate a free exchange of ideas. Internet users have a reasonable expectation that they will not get swept up in criminal investigations simply by exercising their right to political speech against the government. We intend to take whatever steps are necessary to support and shield these users from what is, in our view, a very unfocused search and an unlawful request for their personal information”. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has yet to respond to Dreamhost and disruptj20.org’s refusal to cooperate with the DOJ.
Should it be revealed beyond a doubt that stand down orders were given to incite violence in an effort to pursue a political agenda, these people could themselves be held civilly and criminally accountable. In past instances, such as the riots in Ferguson, stand down orders were justified because public safety was cited. However, with the multitude of video evidence on YouTube, it is clear that the city of Charlottesville and the Charlottesville Police Department let the situation get out of control.
Liberals and the mainstream media have been hard at work to pin all the blame of Charlottesville on the alt-right and Trump supporters ignoring the fact that it was ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter, and the National Socialist Movement who instigated the violence. Trump supporters and other innocent people were merely caught in the middle. This lawsuit will likely result in some much-needed changes in Charlottesville as well as serve as an example of what city and state officials should not do.

Adams National Historical Park
Adams National Historical Park in Quincy, Massachusetts preserves the home of Presidents of the United States John Adams and John Quincy Adams, of U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain, Charles Francis Adams, and of the writers and historians Henry Adams and Brooks Adams.
The national historical park's eleven buildings tell the story of five generations of the Adams family (from 1720 to 1927) including Presidents, First Ladies, U.S. Ministers, historians, writers, and family members who supported and contributed to their success. In addition to Peacefield, home to four generations of the Adams family, the park's main historic features include the John Adams Birthplace (October 30, 1735), the nearby John Quincy Adams Birthplace (July 11, 1767), and the Stone Library (built in 1870 to house the books of John Quincy Adams and believed to be the first presidential library), containing more than 14,000 historic volumes in 12 languages.
There is an off-site Visitors Center less than a mile away. Regularly scheduled tours of the houses are offered in season (April 19 to November 10), by guided tour only, using a tourist trolley provided by the Park Service between sites. Access to United First Parish Church, where the Adamses worshipped and are buried, is provided by the congregation for which they ask a small donation.

The University of Virginia ( Most Beautiful College Campuses In America)
The University of Virginia, frequently referred to simply as Virginia, is a public-private flagship and research university.
The University of Virginia could be said to have the presidential touch, as Founding Father Thomas Jefferson was responsible for its conception and – after the school’s establishment in 1819 – the development of its awe-inspiring campus. Jefferson’s original vision still makes an impact on the University of Virginia’s now 1,682-acre grounds in Charlottesville, Virginia, most notably through the stunning, Palladian-style Rotunda – which in its design draws inspiration from Rome’s celebrated Pantheon. Finished in 1826, the Rotunda holds the honor of being among just a trio of man-made modern U.S. structures to be designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In 1976 the campus as a whole was also named “the proudest achievement of American architecture in the past 200 years” by the American Institute of Architects.
Address: Charlottesville, VA
Acceptance rate: 29% (2015)
Mascot: Cavalier
Total enrollment: 21,238 (2013)
Endowment: 7.53 billion USD (2015)
Undergraduate tuition and fees: Out-of-state tuition: 42,184 USD (2014), In-state tuition: 12,998 USD (2014)
The University of Virginia (U.Va. or UVA), frequently referred to simply as Virginia, is a public-private flagship and research university.[1][2][3] Founded in 1819 by Declaration of Independence author Thomas Jefferson, UVA is known for its historic foundations, student-run honor code, and secret societies.
UNESCO designated UVA as America's first and only collegiate World Heritage Site in 1987, an honor shared with nearby Monticello.[7] The university was established in 1819, and its original governing Board of Visitors included Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe. Monroe was the sitting President of the United States at the time of its foundation. Former Presidents Jefferson and Madison were UVA's first two rectors and the Academical Village and original courses of study were conceived and designed by Jefferson.
The university's research endeavors are highly recognized. In 2015, Science honored UVA faculty for discovering two of its top 10 annual scientific breakthroughs; from the fields of Medicine and Psychology.[8] UVA is one of 62 institutions in the Association of American Universities (AAU), an organization of preeminent North American research universities. It is the only AAU member university located in Virginia. UVA is classified as a Research University with Very High Research by the Carnegie Foundation, and is considered Virginia's flagship university by the College Board.[9][10][11] The university was the first non-founding member, and the first university of the American South, to attain AAU membership in 1904. Companies founded by UVA students and alumni, such as Reddit, generate more than $1.6 trillion in annual revenue – equivalent to an economy the size of Canada, 10th-largest in the world.[12][13]
UVA's academic strength is broad, with 121 majors across the eight undergraduate and three professional schools.[14] Students compete in 26 collegiate sports and UVA leads the Atlantic Coast Conference in men's NCAA team national championships with 17. UVA is second in women's NCAA titles with 7. UVA was awarded the Capital One Cup in 2015 after fielding the top overall men's athletics programs in the nation.[15]
Students come to attend the university in Charlottesville from all 50 states and 147 countries.[16][17][18] The historic campus occupies 1,682-acre (2.6 sq mi; 680.7 ha), many of which are internationally protected by UNESCO and widely recognized as some of the most beautiful collegiate grounds in the country.[19] UVA additionally maintains 2,913 acres southeast of the city, at Morven Farm.[20] The university also manages the College at Wise in Southwest Virginia, and until 1972 operated George Mason University and the University of Mary Washington in Northern Virginia.
