Person Strikes Car Before Hitting Gas: Did Charlottesville driver panic?
Youtube ^ | Aug 14, 2017 | Philosophy Workout

Posted on 08/18/2017 2:49:02 PM PDT by Sopater

Video seems to show the car being hit with a flag before accelerating into the crowd.

I know that is certainly not justification for running down protesters, but it does present some evidence that the driver could use in his defense.

Overall, this whole protest was obviously staged to be a cockfight. It's really a miracle that there weren't more deaths and serious injuries in Charlottesville last weekend.

He is driving down a largely empty street, who cares what was behind him. We KNOW the protest was ahead of him, because he plowed into it. Nothing forced him to drive into the crowd except his mental illness and racism.

you stupid dumbhead, even the cops came out with that story after he was arrested- the kid panicked and got into the crash.

The stupid girl who was killed was NOT St. Heather of Charlottesville, she was blocking traffic with the Antifa crowd and smashing a car.

strangely those videos are not making the rounds as fast- probably so that stupid people(like you) can make stupid comments about people loving Nazi’s when they are trying to find out the truth of what actually happened.

What WE don’t know is what was going on that (may have) caused him to speed up and crash into the protesters and other car. That part is not in the videos. Do you know why?

I don't think that we CAN know why unless the driver tells us, and then I doubt if we can even believe his story.

There's no argument from me that what he did was criminally wrong and he should be punished to the full extent of the law, but I would like to know just what led up to that event.

That is the same video Except the video the OP linked to, 1: edits out the long drive down the empty street before the crash, 2: slows it down when he plows in the people

I'm just trying to gather all the facts.

No you're trying to manufacture them...the question is why?


Really? Exactly what fact did I "manufacture"?

He may have been a candidate for Joey’s Law.

"The stupid girl who was killed was NOT St. Heather of Charlottesville, she was blocking traffic with the Antifa crowd and smashing a car."

That just shows what a low class, low life you are, thanks for sharing. I'm sure you'd like to share those thoughts with her parents. Or better, go on TV so you can further sabotage Trump by making conservative look extra dumb.

Anyone defending him is a racist or a dupe.

You debate like a liberal.

If you zoom in on the car, look through the rear window at the windshield, you can see that the windshield is ALREADY smashed. It shows up in another photo as well.

We know that this is before the impact as the car that gets rear ended is not visible - It is obscured by pedestrians. So the smashed windshield could NOT have been caused by hitting the pedestrians.

I know you are absolutely sure, based on the video evidence you have seen, that this kid decided to ram people into the rear of another car because he was a nazi murderer, but what if....

Someone had leveled a gun at this kid’s head and told him to get out of the car, while another ‘protester’ was on the passenger side beating on the window ?

If it were you, what would you do ?

The back window was broken by a guy who had what I think was rebar, not a flag pole.

There was a girl who jumped on the rear left side but slid to the right. Not sure if she was run over or not.

The adults must be nuts to jump on a stopped car.

That you're an impartial observer for one thing, or that this line of inquiry hasn't already been beaten to death and debunked.

I used to support FreeRepublic financially, but then it seems to have been infiltrated by angry name-callers. I seldom come here now and commenters like you are why.

George Soros wasn’t driving that car, a white racist was.

Speaking of misinformation, how do you know exactly who was driving that car during the incident ?

Before you accuse me of 'siding' with the kid, I know you are aware that the MEDIA feeds us lies, so why would you believe what they tell you about the incident ?

You may be right about this kid, but I sure wouldn't be too quick to judge his exact motives, especially since it's what 'they' want you to believe.

There were people chasing the car long before he hit anyone. I wonder what they wanted to do?

There were three cars in that mess. There’s another view that shows a woman on the hood of the white car the Dodge hit. The driver of the Dodge could not tell the road was blocked with the idiots in the street. The woman hit by the white car looked to be the size of the woman that died.

Did you see the picture of the Dodge with the brake lights on before the crash?

One of the facts unstated on this thread is that the street was NOT barricaded or blocked in any fashion by the “highly effective” LEO’a. OF course, they were just following orders from Fast Terry and his buddy the elitist C-ville Mayor.

Stated another way, a family with Mom and Dad in front and 4 kids below the age of 10 in a minivan could have made a turn and found themselves under attack on this street.

Of course, locally-recorded unstreamed video of an aerial view of the days activities was available, just get that from the VA State Police operating the helicopter. Or not.

I’m neither angry or calling anyone names so you’ll have to invent another excuse for not contributing.
