Check center of photograph in my #183 AND to the left is a antifa black flag.

In that photo, I see what might be a black clad antifa and the flag you point out, and I also see a few too many people with backpacks that may hold THEIR black outfits for later use, yet the sheer numbers of black antifa is not what we normally see, but there even being there, in that crowd, proves my point that the Charging Dodge Charger did not kill and injure Alt-Right marchers but rather the counter-protester staging area.

So the exact WHO and WHY of this attack are still way up in the air!

Is this a false flag operation? Mistaken target? Counter-Culture attackers attacking Alt-right targets would not be driving a muscle car Dodge Challenger, to my mind. They'd be driving a Toyota Prius, or a Chevy Volt to make a GREEN attack on alt-right pollution spreading evil white racists. Something is wrong with the MSM narrative.

So far Fox News has yet to acknowledge it was friendly fire. But they are moving the coverage away from the incident. All of a sudden Guam is MUCH more important.

You have not got a clue. White people in the South are pizzed off because the libs and blacks are trying to destroy our southern heritage. When whites finally stand up and protest they are going to be labelled racist, white supremists by the media as you are seeing today. Its untrue. Its just a bunch of whites who finally have a bellyful.

from link:

[alt right] according to the SPLC has been “electrified” by Trump’s run for office, who regard the president as “a champion of the idea that America is fundamentally a white man’s country.”

what a load of garbage

If you watch the video, it looks like most of this crowd was screaming “Black Lives Matter” and “Who shuts sh*t down.”

Many were also wearing masks, some carrying the black flag.

The crash happens about 1:05:40ish.

100 out of 100.

It’s his antifa.

It’s his “news” media trumpeting and distorting.

“Antifa” is just another name for militant Left.

They are a violent mob and they oppose law and order.

In the early 2000s they called President Bush a Fascist, the police Fascists, and FReepers (by name) fascists.

Just so we know what their definition includes.

Or these “white supremacists” could be Rat trolls like Al Gore’s pal Phelps and his phony “church” that smeared opposition to same sex marriage and indoctrination in sexual deviancy in primary schools. Phelps still got his antiwar hits in protesting at the funeral of US troops.

Do the limeys at the BBC ever call a BLM march and subsequent violence a “far left rally?”

I think this is why the media is being silent on details (even with on death) is because they need to control the narrative.

“targets ‘deserved’ it”
“lone wolf”
“someone drunk on a half a can of light beer”
“car accident unrelated to any protests”
“radical extreme white people assaulting innocent counter protesters on behalf of Trump”

There have been Communists with Che, Mao, and Stalin signage at virtually every “Occutard”, “anti-American war”, and “Resist” riot and NONE of them were called far left rallies.

Screw the Commies.

Where was such a robust police response when Trump’s supporters were being beat up in blue cities during the campaign, and major highways were allowed to be shut down?
They were instructed to stand down.
