On Saturday (12/8/17) broadly speaking two groups of hooligans gathered in the US city of Charlottesville, Virginia because they wanted to have a punch-up.
One group broadly claimed to represent the US political right while equally broadly claimed to represent the US political left.
In Northern Ireland this type of activity is formally known as; "Recreational Rioting." People do it simply because they enjoy doing it. In 2016 following the Brexit vote the introduction of actual politics meant that there was none of the usual summer rioting. This caused far more alarm then the riots themselves.
In Sweden and the Netherlands the police have a well rehearsed policy on this. They march both groups off to an open area away from the public such as a sports field, set up a medical tent and let them get on with it.
Towards the end of the day in Charlottesville a young woman - Heather Heyer - who identified with the left-wing group was killed in a vehicle collision. In itself this is an extremely small event. When similar things happen in Israel which is as much of a foreign country to me as the US I barely bother read about it let alone comment on it.
In terms of the deathtoll Ms Heyer's death was even dwarfed by other events within Charlottesville when two Virginia State Police officers were killed in a helicopter crash a few hours later.
However events in Charlottesville seem to have unleashed a relentless torrent of just idiotic commentary and discussion.
For example on Monday (14/8/17) a seeming mountain of people accused US President Donald Trump of being permissive towards White Supremacist groups. Meanwhile in Texas the largest prosecution of White Supremacists in US history reached its conclusion. It resulted in 89 convictions and more than a thousand years handed down in prison sentences.
At roughly the same time in North Carolina members of the Black Supremacist group Black Lives Matter were vandalising a public building while the police stood by and let them. Black Lives Matter claim this an example of them being oppressed by the White Supremacist police.
Rather like a psychiatric patient I used to know who was convinced the movie Star Wars was really happening and I was a Jedi trying to follow this sort of discussion in any sort of rational way is utterly mentally exhausting.
Yesterday having given myself a massive headache I just gave up. Rather than trying to do anything constructive I spent the day reacting to just a tiny fraction of things of idiotic things being said on Twitter.
The vehicle collision was caught on video which was almost immediately uploaded to the Internet. Ohio where the vehicle was registered has a public system of vehicle registration. This allows anyone to look up a vehicle registration to find its owner and their address.
Once James Fields Jr had been identified as the registered owner of the vehicle it was then very easy to find his Facebook page. Now removed this Facebook page revealed Fields to be a vocal supporter of Bernie Sander - a Presidential candidate for the US Democrat.
It also revealed that Field's mother's family name is; "Bloom." Although not exclusively this is traditionally a Jewish name. Raising the rather incredible prospect that a Jewish Nazi has murdered an Aryan woman.
This posed to obvious question of whether the Democrat Party had orchestrated the killing. The intention being to unleash this torrent of anti-Trump rhetoric.
As I was writing my very long post on Monday (14/8/17) the international verdicts on this question started to come in. They almost universally support the theory that the Democrat Party orchestrated the killing.
In Canada a stuntwoman was killed while performing a motorcycle stunt of the set of the movie "Deadpool 2." This is very obviously a woman being killed in a planned vehicle stunt.
The type of motorcycle was a Ducatti. One group of the hooligans in Charlottesville describe themselves a being members of Anti-Fascist Action (Anti-FA). However they all seemed to be completely unaware of prominent Antifa leader Spanish Anarchist Buenaventura Durruti. With his funeral being the largest in Spanish history he is hardly a secret.
Shortly afterwards a car rammed into a pizza restaurant in the French capital Paris killing a 13 year old girl.
That driver has since been identified as British/French dual national David Patterson. Like James Fields Jr Mr Patterson worked as a security guard.
In the photographs released Mr Patterson has something of a distinctive haircut. It is shaved at the back and sides and long on top. This is similar to the hairstyle wore by characters in the UK TV Show; "Peaky Blinders" and by professional footballer Jack Grealish.
However opponents to President Trump in the US have decided that this haircut is a racist symbol. Other things they've decided are racist symbols are the Anarchist environmental group Reclaim The Streets slogan; "Whose Streets? Our Streets!" and the internationally recognised SCUBA diving hand signal of forming a circle with the thumb and forefinger to indicate "OK."
The fact the car ramming occurred at a pizza restaurant was in reference to what it known as; "Pizzagate." This is a conspiracy theory that circulated on the Internet in 2016. It claimed senior members of the Democrat Party were running a child sex slavery ring out of a chain of pizza restaurants.
This type of sophisticated conspiracy theory is considered a normal form of political discussion in totalitarian, quasi-socialist states. Particularly in the Middle-East, North Africa region. In those societies telling the truth about political figures will get you imprisoned or killed. So instead you tell a small lie that reveals a greater truth.
A prime example of this is prolific British child sex offender Jimmy Savile. He was able to abuse children and adults on a massive scale over decades because he was protected by corrupt police officers and would aggressively pursue libel actions against anyone who questioned him.
However for many years before his death there was a 'joke' doing the rounds that Jimmy Savile kept his mother's corpse in his house and had sex with it every night. Particularly while his mother was still alive this was so outlandish it could only be considered a joke for the purposes of libel law. It did though allow people to talk about Jimmy Savile the pervert. He actually did have sex with corpses.
So with the exception of a small, crazy minority no-one discussing Pizzagate actually thought the Democrats were running a child sex slavery ring out of a chain of pizza restaurants.
It does though allow people to talk about how the Democrats support the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). ISIL do run an extensive network of child and adult sex slaves. In that world of military intelligence people actually go to great lengths to avoid revealing their sources.
Pizzagate also people to discuss how the Democrats are so utterly devoid of a moral compass they will stop at nothing, not even rape and murder to satisfy their lust for power.
The Democrat Governor of Virginia is Terry McAuliffe. He paid FBI agent Andrew McCabe close to a million dollars in bribes while Andrew McCabe was investigating Hillary Clinton for espionage against the US.
Conducting the car ramming as part of a suicide attempt David Patterson is also said to have taken an overdose of a wide selection of both prescription and illegal drugs.
On Monday evening the in US the scheduled release to the toxicology report on golfer Tiger Woods occurred. This revealed that Tiger Woods had taken a wide variety of prescription and illegal drugs leading to his arrest for Driving Under the Influence (DUI).
Tiger Woods has long been a stand in for former US Democrat President Barack Obama.
Opponents of President Trump have also decided that the classic golfing outfit of a polo shirt and light coloured trousers is a racist symbol. They've taken to posting pictures of Trump wearing this outfit as evidence that Trump is a fascist.
In doing that they've clearly forgotten about all the images of Barack Obama and every other golfer ever wearing the exact same outfit.
Yesterday (15/8/17) French President Emmanuel Macron had a phone call with Turkish President/Prime Minister/Emperor Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
This has prompted Erdogan to basically kidnap relatively famous US pizza chef Hakki Akdeniz who was holidaying in Diyarbakir from where Erdogan launches frequent airstrikes against anti-ISIL forces both in Syria and Iraq.

Edited at around 18:45 on 16/8/17 (UK date) to add;
The current insanity of the discussion over Charlottesville was really highlighted by events last night.
Long before Heather Heyer's death President Trump took to Twitter to issue a statement to condemn all the groups who'd gathered to commit acts of violence. Following the death he held a press conference expressing his sorrow and again condemning all groups who'd gather to commit acts of violence.
It seems that on Sunday (13/8/17) that Trump then received some extremely bad advice. So Monday (14/8/17) his gave another press conference. This time he retracted his condemnation of all groups gathered to commit acts of violence. Instead he condemned the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and neo-Nazis by name. In doing this he seemed to suggest their was no equivalence between the violence of the self-identified right wing groups and the self-identified left-wing group.
I happen to know someone who has participated in genuine Antifa black blocs extremely well. They will assure that this was a terrible mistake because there certainly is an equivalency between the two groups.
Last night President Trump corrected his mistake and held a third press conference when he condemned all groups gathered to commit acts of violence. Commenting of the Democrats current campaign erase their role in the US Civil War Trump asked if statues of Thomas Jefferson should also be removed because he was a slave owner.
Amid proud ISIL supporters calling for Trump to be impeached Twitter then exploded with anger at Trump equating Thomas Jefferson to Democrats who fought the civil war to maintain slavery.
The thing is Black Lives Matter are calling for a statue of Thomas Jefferson to be removed from the University of Missouri campus because he was a slave owner.
Meanwhile two schools in Oregon have been forced to rename themselves to remove the word; "Lynch." The land the schools are built on was donated by the Lynch family who have absolutely no connection to slavery.
However Black Lives Matter have decided the name Lynch - as in former Attorney General Loretta Lynch - is a racist symbol.
If you decide these statements are rational or crazy based on nothing but the colour of the skin of the person making them I've got some bad news for you;
Turns out you're a racist.
