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.

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

it seems to me that the guys windshield had already been shattered by Antifa protesters as well as having the exterior of the car vandalized by Antifa presumably trying to break into the car

If the guy's windshield were broken there is no way he could see out, which would tend to explain the fact that he rear ended two cars.

It is an act of terrorism. All of those people who showed up with bats, bottles, rocks, helmets and face masks were there to prevent people they don’t agree with from expressing an opinion. They were there as an act of violence to frighten people and to suppress free speech. Isn’t that what terrorists do, attack people they don’t agree with?

The problem with your argument is that using violence for political ends is considered terrorism.

It seems to me that would put antifa in the terrorist camp.

Note there have been investigations following up concerning prior protests where lefty counter protestors have shown up to kick ass and the police have arrested the correct perpetrators.

So I agree and sympathize with your concern that an investigation could be abused to target the wrong folks, but it is not necessarily the case it'll work out that way.

If it is it'll be out there for all to see, just like competing investigations of Trump and Hilary.

Disagree. This was terrorism, DOMESTIC terrorism not ISLAMIC. But what caused all of this? Ask the City Council there. Most people have no idea what the trigger was for this violence. They are focused on the result, not the cause. You cannot fix a result, you can only fix a cause.

I don’t know why the driver did what he did. Some have suggested that he was being menaced by some people in the crowd as he was driving by. The available video evidence doesn’t show what happened concerning the vehicle prior to it speeding into the crowd.

On no uncertain terms, however, does anything that happened leading up to the incident justify the what the video evidence that I did see shows. Yes, there were some people in the crowd armed with sticks and bats and possibly other things. But there were many more unarmed, carrying flags or simply chanting who were also run down in this indiscriminate act.

I don’t see why this should have larger meaning to me or conservatives or anyone even slightly sympathetic toward the protest who are rational and do not condone political violence, beyond grief for the innocent people who were killed or injured during the totality of the protest event. People on either side of the divide who somehow feel justified in hurting others for what they believe are not my consorts, my friends, nor people I feel any affection toward or affinity with. They are not my fellow countrymen.

It’s true that there is a lot of injustice in our world, and yes, this event is something that the unscrupulous political elements of our society will try to use to quell dissent. We cannot combat that by attempting to rationalize what the driver of that car did. We should express our heartfelt grief for all of the innocent victims from the protest and resist their attempts to paint us all with the same broad brush by banding together speaking loud and clear in one voice that what happened at the protest has nothing to do with us.

When the Feds come in to investigate, it tells us that BLM and ANTIFA represent a "protected liberal class" that will receive EXTRA protection under US laws; they have rights we simply do not have.

Excellent point.
