It happened in Charlottesville and they will prosecute him there. As it should be. Not sure why Sessions should be also going after him. They guy is going to spend the rest of his life in prison
If I was a juror in a state trial I very probably would,if the evidence was convincing,vote guilty on assault or even something more serious than assault but I'd vote "not guilty" on anything connected to the concept of "hate crimes".
Sessions is a Uniparty/Swamp hack. How is this not self evident?
The guy was attacked by a crowd who started pounding on his car and he panicked and jack-rabbited out of there. But we need a rayciss boogeyman to prosecute.
That so-called “Unite the Right” rally was nothing more than a sham. The guy who organized it was a lefty. The intent was to incite a war between the left and right. A war the revolutionary commies think they would win. No legit rightwing organizer would invite the Klan and Neo-Nazis.
>>”Today’s indictment should sent a clear message to every would be criminal in America that we aggressively prosecute violent crimes of hate that threaten the core principles of our nation.”
Unless you are an illegal alien shooting at an anonymous woman in California using a stolen gun.
“Hate Crimes” are an Orwellian legal nightmare.
You do not drive a car into someone with love and concern. While motivation and intent of the accused is always considered in criminal cases, the government trying to determine the level of “hate” is a stupid, and dangerous, exercise.
Death penalty? Heather Heyer (the morbidly obese white female fatality) had a heart attack and died later. And didn’t the driver claim he panicked? Hardly an open and shut case for “murder” or “hate crime.”
The 30 count indictment, according to US Attorney for Western Virginia, Thomas Cullen, involved searching Fields social media accounts and said:
“We have to get into somebody’s head and that takes time”
...
Isn’t that what the liberal judges did in the Travel Ban case?
On December 9, 2015, he [”Unite The Right” organizer, Jason Kessler] wrote:
“I can’t think of any occupation that I admire more than the professional provocateur, who has the courage & self-determination to court controversy despite all slings & arrows of the world”
That’s right! This man is living his dream as a “professional provocateur.” Now he can claim victory as a mastermind behind the worst racial violence to spill blood on our streets in over twenty years.
The more we research the less we believe the false narrative that Jason Kessler was the victim of a hijacked movement. Indeed the facts lead us to a wholly different conclusion. The evidence says this man wanted to stand at the center of controversy. What better way to do it, than to call his rally “Unite The Right.”
He invited the KKK, Neo Nazis, and other White Supremacist groups. This, of course, courted a response from radical extremists from the other side. The New Black Panthers, Black Lives Matter, and Antifa were happy to meet his soldiers and all the sheep on the battlefield.
Sandwiched in the middle, people from the left the middle and the right who had no idea they were just sheep brought to a slaughter.
People from the left who want to see an end to racism [ACTUALLY, the organizing groups want an all-out communist revolution, this simply being their latest opening to do so -ETL], people from the right who want to see an end to the destruction of our past. Those from the middle seeking an end to both!
One beautiful soul rising to heaven as her broken body lay murdered in the street! One mentally unstable patsy who should have stayed home and taken his meds and gotten more sleep!
All brought together by a man who hails the almighty:
Provocateur
From the (far left) Southern Poverty Law Center...
“At one recent speech in favor of Charlottesville’s status as a sanctuary city, [”Unite The Right” organizer] Kessler live-streamed himself as an attendee questioned him and apologized for an undisclosed spat during Kessler’s apparent involvement with Occupy [Wall Street]. Kessler appeared visibly perturbed by the woman’s presence and reminders of their past association.”
“A “journalist, activist and author from Charlottesville, VA,” Kessler’s LinkedIn account states that he graduated of the University of Virginia in 2009. He was virtually unknown in the media prior to his crusade against Charlottesville Vice Mayor and City Councilman Wes Bellamy.”

I was watching a live stream of the incident as it unfolded. The chain of events began when The Punk, Terry McAuliffe, declared a state of emergency and the police forced the rally members into the awaiting Antifa mob. It all could have, and should have been avoided.
I wonder if they’ll show the video of the Antifa thugs chasing him with clubs and an AR?
So called “hate crimes” should all be repealed.
Murder is murder, assault is assault, and all other crimes of one person against another person or persons does not need an additional name, an additional “crime” added to them, just to identify motive. And since when, before so-called “hate crimes” has motive ever been a crime itself.
Once so-called “hate crimes” were established, what soon began to take place, predictably, was the morphing of the idea that a motive can be a crime, but mere speech of a similar nature can too. “Hate speech” - actually a thought crime, was born. In some western countries, the concept is continuously expanding from various speech crimes on college campuses to speech crimes for public utterances.
If you understood the root concepts at the beginning, then you knew, like many of us did, that “hate crime” would slide down the slippery legal slope to thought and speech control. Though those concepts are opposite of many foundations of western civilization, it is in western civilization most of all that they are being perpetrated.
We need to repeal all “hate crimes” and start restoring the ideals of free speech as evoked in the words attributed to Voltaire: “I disapprove of what you say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.”
Didn’t conservatioes and libertarians used to be against hate crime laws because they are thought crime laws?
glad to see sessions doing useless things instead of the things he should be doing /s
I wonder if he thinks this little virtue signal will help him with the leftists, if so he’s dreaming.
Is not all violent crimes hate crimes?
Damn Nazi's couldnt beat up on the Black Panters without the Anti-Fascist facsist communist getting in the way. The local riot cops knew exactly where they were driving each group and that face to face conflicts amung the different protesting groups had been planned into the days activities.
Still not convinced that its only one car or driver. The paint job on published stories of the same incident showes two cars with different paint jobs.
Personally, I still think all the damn clowns had something to do with this.
The organization of these protests remind me of the videos of the American Shooting Mag that gets a daily thread here on FR. Lets take a pressure cooker, throw in a pound of black powder, some thermite, 2 pounds of white phosphorous sealed in a mason jar, a half a gallon of gasoline and a cup of tide laundry soap. Seal it up tight and place it on a propane burner and light it. Let it build pressure for 5 minutes then stand about 10 or 11 feet away and shoot at it with a Barrett .50 and see if anything happens.
