I don’t know the latest info but innocently ending up surrounded by lefties, being assaulted and pepper sprayed would explain a lot.<p
Don’t know what happened, though I do recall a lefty recently shooting 5 people, trying to assassinate a Republican senator but that seems forgotten.

Come to think of it, did any of these Republicans call that a “domestic terrorist” incident?

KKK is Democrat Socialist historically loyal to Southern Democrat land owners.

Antifada is Soros, Marxist money...

Alt Right means nothing unless you love Jesus, individual rights and The Constitution.

The media Marxists are trying to define Christians as Alt Right. Good Luck.

The driver was a left wing nut job that ran down other left wing nut jobs thinking he was going after the permit carrying protesters.

Regarding homicide:

Criminal homicides also include voluntary and involuntary manslaughter. An example of voluntary manslaughter is hitting someone with an intent to kill them, whereas involuntary manslaughter is unintentionally causing their death.

Antifa attacks are never labeled terrorism, yet this is. Calling every bad behavior of the non-Left “terrorism”the Leftist establishment is merely trying to delegitimize real terrorism in order to feed their narrative. Their narrative is one of worshipping and supplicating to illegal immigrants, invaders, and those who would kill us. The Left is the weak, loser, cowardly 5th column and will destroy civilization in order to achieve their fascist global domination.

This may turn into another Treyvon Martin trial, but this time with video. Who attacked first?

The guys with clubs arrive mighty fast, striking thru his rear window. Were they chasing him?

If that were to be the case, the jury should let him go, and write off the 32-year-old woman as collateral.

Then let the prosecutorial pigs (Mueller?) indict the responsible Antifa members for causing her demise.

Protecting oneself is not terrorism. It is the foundational principle behind the 2nd amendment of the United States’ Constitution.

I don’t think that is a weird definition of terrorism. I think that is pretty close to the textbook definition.

Look as the car is backing up. Multiple perps hitting the car with bats big enough to break the back window.

So, let me get this straight. These ‘peaceful’ counter protestors bring bats to their protest?

Terrorism in not just a Muslim thing. There have been countless acts of domestic terrorism in America. Timothy McVeigh was a terrorist and his act was terrorism. The loon who murdered 50+ people in a gay nightclub was a terrorist. Bill Ayers is a terrorist. That guy who murdered 5 Dallas police was a terrorist.

How much time do you need for it to be “premeditated”? Though you are right intent matters, I think 1 second is more than enough time. depending on the motive. If he got into the car with the intention to ram political protestors regardless of which side he was on or which side he was targeting, it is terrorism. If he was just driving by, saw the protest and said to himself “I’m gonna get ‘em”, it is premeditation. It could only be an accident if it was truly unintentional. Supposing he was driving by and got pelted with rocks and other objects then it may be partially mitigated under the law as a “crime of passion”, which doesn’t in my book mitigate the moral failing one whit that is just a legal technicality. On the other side, fairly or not, if he was at the protest on foot and was heading home before deciding (for whatever reason) to ram into the crowd then I am sure the prosecutors would call it terror and assign motive to the fact that he was involved in the protest. But it wouldn’t be any less of an act of terror if he was motivated by an attempt to generate a political change be it 1 second or 1 year of plotting.

Trying to violently punish innocent people for expressing their political beliefs (no matter how vile their opinions may be) falls within the definition. Just my opinion of course.
