Did he create this confusion to get a chopper to come try to figure it out?

Why in God’s name would you get into that predicament in the first place. Just plain stupid.

Doubt if he knew his way around, maybe he had someplace to be and got stuck in the mess.

This was BOUND to happen.

AntiFa sees traffic-locked cars as fair game, even boring, apolitical cars.

He’s a white guy in MUSCLE CAR. You know, that type that The Patriarchy drives.

It doesn’t merit DEATH, but the guy was probably a car freak and the blue-haired set decided they were going to f*ck up this rich honkey’s car.

AND HE SAID NO.

Hey, sorry..!

People are getting sick of people laying down in front of their hoods or screwing up their car.

This was BOUND to happen and it’s probably going to happen MORE.

Look for the talking heads to put the blame on the conservatives as well as Trump.

I have instructed my wife that if she were surrounded while trying to drive through town and they were throwing things at the car or trying to open the door she should press the pedal to the medal.

Unite the Right Rally

Unite the Right​ was a rally that took place at noon on Saturday August 12th, 2017. The rally was self described as "pro-white" by its organizer, Jason Kessler, and its purpose is to protest the planned removal of a statue of confederate general Robert E. Lee​ from a park in Charlottesville, VA​. [3]​

A Pre-rally march took place the night before, on Friday night, where many people headed to protest the rally. Violence broke out amongst antifa members and the alt-right members of the march. [4]​

People later tracked down the Challenger to be registered to James, although it is unconfirmed that he is the driver. [10]​ [29]​

James Alex Fields Jr. in the vehicle Taylor Lorenz​, Tech reporter for The Hill​, tweeted that police officers think that the person that ran people down was not malicious in intent and that the driver was scared. His car was being swarmed and some of them turned violent.[16]​ Lorenz was also punched in the face at the rally.

An unidentified 32-year-old woman died as a result of the incident. [29]​ Her death is being investigated as a homicide. [29]​ ​

Supposedly he’s a registered Republican?

Apparently not a very good Republican.

Did the cops in VA say if Fields was part of the nationalist protests?

That had to be one of their fist questions to Fields.

Didn’t they pass laws in some states that it is legal to run them down?

I have no doubt about that, that if one side, and we should forcefully and eloquently push back on them. We should also denounce the racism of BLM and of the KKK...
