is there any MSM outlet reporting the baseball bat attack to the car prior to the acceleration of the car?
the mayor and police chief should be charged with negligent homicide. i do not see how the charges against the driver could stick.
if the woman was a protester crossing at the intersection, it is difficult to envision that the driver of the car even saw her, since there were two *stopped* (not “parked”) cars between his car and the fatal victim at the time of first impact. the cars were apparently *stopped* because of an antifa counterprotest.
if the protesters indulged in reckless behavior by participating in walking on streets in a demonstration without a permit, can someone be charged for killing or injuring them while fleeing an attack himself?
personally i do not think i would ever participate in an unpermitted demonstration unless i was angling for a darwin award.
in the videos published online so far, i did see 2 red “MAGA” hats and in the previous evening a chant of “white lives matter,” but that does not ever seem to justify attacking drivers in cars with baseball bats.
VERY good point.
I never saw brake lights.
I watched video...I don’t see anything...
"Heeb" is short for "Hebrew" meaning a Jewish person.
In all the photos I have seen, the only people with bats, combat gear, shields and pepper spray at this event were the Antifa thugs, and the police.
Note that the driver rear-ended another car, not a pedestrian space.
He was on a street that was blockaded by militants, some of whom apparently were attacking him.
He was apparently trying to escape, not to attack.
Heard about this several hours ago. Guy was panicked and crashed. Was hoping for more video. Looks like it came in.
Charlottesville video bump for later.....
Yet the libs with the bats will get away with no repercussions.

There's at least one video which proves that the vehicle in question had launched at least one individual up into the air, while it was moving forward, before stopping and going in reverse. It's as clear as day.
Now I don't know if there were any "bat" attacks that had occurred before that moment, but any assertion that the vehicle didn't hit people while it was moving forward is patently false.
It still might be a case of self-defense. The driver might have accelerated forward as a result of one of these "bat" attacks, or just out of fear or malice. That will be for a jury to decide. But I've seen some people subscribing to the notion that people were only hit when the car stopped and reversed. That is simply not true, and there is video that definitely proves it...
Another point, if he was a terrorist, why did he not mow down everyone walking while he was proceeding down that road?
It would have been so easy for him.
