What does Charlottesville mean and what should we do?
On this week's Think Tank, we examine the events that unfolded in Charlottesville, the aftermath and President Trump's response.

Carlos Galindo-Elvira is the executive director of the Anti-Defamation League of Arizona.
Loren Molever is the former chair of Anytown, a diversity workshop, where he did diversity training for over 20 years.
On this week’s episode, we have an in-depth conversation on the events in Charlottesville, Va. What does it mean and what should we do?
We also ask if there has been a resurgence of hate groups like Nazis and the KKK, and if so, why?
There was also President Donald Trump’s response to the events of Charlottesville. Did he handle it well?
Finally, we look at the aftermath as a whole, centering around a discussion on if we should balance our commitment to principles of Free Speech when violence-prone hate groups are involved. Does this balance shift when such groups appear heavily armed and in large numbers?
All this and more on this week’s Think Tank.

This isn't a news article but an advertisment.
So you place blame on the lack of government intervention? You don't believe in personal responsibility?
I knew you were a liberal. Lol
the democrats call for resist and fight which implies hate and violence. these folks are only carrying out what Hillary, Obama and other democrats told them to do. bottom line is everywhere there is negativity talk, hateful talk, negative/hateful drama its on about every tv show, news uses it, celebrities said it, athletes say it to each other and on social issues, politicians are famous for it. campaigning there is nothing but nasty talk about each other and once in office they refuse to get along, having its my way or no way attitude. this hate with our politicians and media spills into our lives. without knowing it most people are just mimicking politicians. I view this type of talk and violence as childish, people haven't grown up yet and learn how to handle situations. if you have nothing nice to say say nothing at all. #stopthehate.
