Maybe we should start marching with stiff legs and elevated arms.

Ah, my Charlottesville.  :facepalm: Best policy is to err on the side of caution. If someone seems easily offended don’t make micro aggressions. Make macro aggressions.

I've po'd a lot of folks here with that MO  :laugh:
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

I read that article earlier today. The lawsuit is moving forward and I hope UVA gets their pee-pee slapped.

More than just slapped.  Driven into the ground with a pile driver would be better.  Not likely to happen.  We will see.

Not really.  They are basically paid anarchists who are there to create terror and dissension.
And isn't that what they have been saying WE are (nazis) for the last couple of years?
