Sessions Says ‘Evil Attack’ in Virginia Is Domestic Terrorism
The New York Times ^ | 8/14/2017 | EILEEN SULLIVAN

Posted on 08/14/2017 7:57:52 AM PDT by Kevin C

WASHINGTON — Attorney General Jeff Sessions said on Monday that the “evil attack” in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend meets the legal definition of an act of domestic terrorism, an early declaration in an investigation after a car plowed into a crowd of protesters.

“It does meet the definition of domestic terrorism in our statute,” Mr. Sessions said on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” referring to a fatal attack on Saturday when a vehicle drove into a crowd protesting white nationalists, killing one woman and injuring others. A 20-year-old man has been arrested and charged by Virginia authorities with second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and failing to stop at the scene of a crash that resulted in a death.

“You can be sure we will charge and advance the investigation toward the most serious charges that can be brought because this is unequivocally an unacceptable evil attack,” Mr. Sessions said, adding that terrorism and civil rights investigators were working on the case.

Mr. Sessions appeared on several morning news shows on Monday, condemning the violent demonstrations over the removal of a Confederate monument and defending President Trump’s response.

“Sessions has done some good things so far, but in the end, he has been in D.C. far too long. He may not be a swamp creature, but he has a bit of the taint on him, for sure.”

I view Sessions like a wife who has been battered over many years.

I see a car driving down the street, and then around the 0:04 mark someone comes from the left and hits the rear of his car with something -- at which point he guns the engine and drives quickly straight forward.

I have been in a somewhat similar situation before, and I didn't react all that much differently than what this guy did -- especially when he put his car in reverse and began speeding backwards.

Correction, post 59 should say “we don’t have many monuments or buildings built before 1900 out here in the far west”.

Is that what the poodles told you Jeffy?

 
Nazis/KKK, whatever, have been holding ralies for years without violent confrontation.  In this case, the violence was provoked.
 
Observe the conspicuous melatonin deficiency among these car-chasing SJW super geniuses:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzhqO3iYlxk&feature=youtu.be&t=6595

 
The Lavender / Rainbow militia's traffic-blocking Useful Idiots are going to be in for a rude awaking as the process of normalization moves along...
 
YURI BEZMENOV: 
No they serve purpose only [up] to the stage of destabilization of a nation.  For example, your leftists in [the]  United States; all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders.  They are instrumental in the process of the subversion; only to destabilize a nation.  When the job is completed, they are not needed anymore.  They know too much.  Some of them, when they get disillusioned - when they see that Marxist-Leninist come to power.  Obviously they get offended; they think that THEY will come to power.  That will never happen, of course; they will be lined up against the wall and shot.  But they may turn into the most bitter enemies of Marxist-Leninists when they come to power;  and that's what happened in Nicaragua.  You remember most of these former Marxist-Leninists were either put to prison or one of them split and now he's working against the Sandinistas
 
It happened in Grenada when Maurice Bishop, he was already a Marxist - he was executed by the new Marxists who was more Marxist than this Marxist.
 
Same happened in Afghanistan, when, uh, first there was Taraki he was killed by Amin, then Amin was killed by Karmal with the help of KGB. 
 
Same happened in Bangladesh where Mujibur Rahman, very pro-soviet leftist; was assassinated by his own Marxist-Leninist military comrades. 
 
It's the same pattern everywhere.  The moment they serve their purpose, all  the useful idiots are either executed entirely; all the idealistically minded Marxists.  Or exiled, or put in prisons like in Cuba many former Marxists are in Cuba, and in prison.  
 
So basically America is Stuck, with demoralization; and unless, even if you start right now this minute; you start educating new generation of Americans - it will still take you 15 to 20 years to turn the tide of uh, ideological perception of reality; uh back to normalcy and patriotism.  
 
 
The result? The result you can see -- most of the people who graduated in the 60's, dropouts or half-baked intellectuals, are now occupying the positions of power in the government, civil service, business, mass media, and educational systems. You are stuck with them. You can't get rid of to them. They are contaminated. They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information.

I didn't say he was right, but it sure weighs very heavily in his favor -- especially when you have video evidence all over the internet from Saturday of demonstrators attacking motorists simply because they had out-of-state license plates on their cars.

I’m still wondering if a BLM bullet brought down the helicopter with the cops! Can’t wait for that to be decided.


That’s why this all of a sudden became ‘terrorism’ for Jeff yesterday.

I don’t think he mentioned the guy by name, and from his comments as I read them it’s not even 100% clear that he’s talking specifically about the car driving into the crowd of people.

I agree with you .

That poster is a fool to believe and peddles a single video from a far left wing operative .

I am sickened that some posters are convicting someone before we hear the story and get facts .

Having his car attacked before he accelerated likely does at least merit consideration.

The female reporter who got beaten up for filming a group of “antifa” mutants sent a Twitter message very shortly after the incident with the car ... indicating that the police officers she had spoken to suggested it wasn’t a deliberate attack but a young guy who was scared sh!tless and panicked when people began attacking his car.

I'm sorry jeff but the video evidence does not support any of your made up story. The evidence so far shows a man trying to get away from an armed mob that was attacking him and smashing out the windows of his vehicle. The man put the car in reverse and ran over the attackers in order to save his own life.

Sessions is a buffoon that needs to be fired NOW.

Sessions has already tainted the jury pool by making false inflammatory statements. Every day he remains the AG he is doing yet more harm to our already utterly failed system of justice.

WHY in the HELL doesn’t our Justice Department go after the money behind these terrorist organizations?

Killing people, attempting to kill people over their right to speak openly about matters disturbing to them is a crime.

Those financing these thugs are as guilty of the crimes as the thugs themselves.

There is no indication that is what happened...video shows the car driving at least one block and through an intersection before plowing into the protesters milling in the street.

The driver was not under attack before that happened, nor was his vehicle being blocked.

I’ve been willing to give Sessions the benefit of the doubt, believing that maybe he is accomplishing significant things that just aren’t being reported. But this statement is not good. Obama was way too quick to declare judgment before the facts came out. Was this terrorism? Quite possibly. A thorough investigation should reveal the driver’s motives and preceding actions. But there’s also the very real possibility that he was trying to get away from a situation where he was being attacked. See how quickly the baseball bats came up behind him in the video? I believe they were already in attack mode. The thing is, we just don’t know. And only a fool declares judgment before he knows the facts. Are you a fool Mr. Sessions?
By the way, my local news was awfully quick to point out (in bold headlines) that the driver is a registered Republican. Where was this sense of “journalistic responsibility” in Orlando, or the congressional ball game?

This AG is worthless. I don’t condone the death of this woman by any stretch but how is it that this driver gets a fair trial when Sessions and the A-hole Virginia Governor calls him a terrorist?Sessions needs to ask why the police were told to stand down and why they did a poor job of upholding safety to everyone irregardless of politics. BTW,in some states it’s illegal to block traffic and if one feels threatened He/she can do what is necessary to be safe. This was in response to the REAL terrorists like Antifa and BLM who are a very real threat and danger.
