The men in charge of the 32 militia members who came to Charlottesville from six states to form a unit with the mission of
“defending free speech” were Christian Yingling, the commanding officer
of the Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia, and his “second in command” on
the day, George Curbelo, the commanding officer of the New York Light
Foot Militia.
“We spoke to the Charlottesville police department beforehand and
offered to come down there and help with security,” Yingling told the
Guardian.
Donald Trump has been roundly criticized for his slow-on-the-uptake failure to criticize the far-right constituency of last weekend's Virginia rally. It is interesting to see a news organization that parses the crowd and reports on motives for being there.
Whatever they may claim their intention, I'm suspicious. To whom do they answer?
