After Charlottesville the ACLU decides to stop representing hate groups that bring guns to protests.

The American Civil Liberties Union took a new stance on firearms Thursday, announcing a change in policy that it would not represent hate groups who demonstrate with firearms. 

ACLU executive director Anthony Romero told The Wall Street Journal that the group would have stricter screenings and take legal requests from white supremacist groups on a case-by-case basis. 

“The events of Charlottesville require any judge, any police chief and any legal group to look at the facts of any white-supremacy protests with a much finer comb,” Romero told the Journal. “If a protest group insists, ‘No, we want to be able to carry loaded firearms,’ well, we don’t have to represent them. They can find someone else." 

The ACLU has come under fire after it filed a lawsuit in defense of the organizers who planned the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va., after city officials denied them a permit to hold the rally around a statue of Robert E. Lee, which is set to be removed. 

The group was ultimately granted the permit for the Saturday rally, which later turned violent and resulted in one death and more than a dozen injured.

The ACLU just learned a valuable lesson that yes everybody deserves to have their rights protected, but fuck those gun toting assholes!

And why do these sacks of shit feel the need to bring a gun to a protest anyhow.

I go hiking in bear country all of the time with NO gun.

Are they trying to tell me that there is something at a protest that is scarier than a Grizzly Bear?

Because absolutely no, there is not!
