On August 12, a driver drove his vehicle into a crowd of “anti-racist” protesters, killing one woman and injuring 19 other individuals. The suspect has been identified as James Alex Fields, Jr.
Department of Memes reported that police officers in Charlottesville believed the driver was not acting maliciously, suggesting he was scared by the protesters on every side of his vehicle and he did not know what to do.
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.
His record as a 13 year old ain’t gonna help him much. But thanks for the link. By the way, did you notice in the photo, the brake lights are on?
They will find out he is bipolar and/or autism spectrum. The mental illness angle is a semi-bad optic for them. The MSM is very protective of the mentally-ill.
I have read different versions. One is a car ran into his vehicle but the video I saw doesn’t show another vehicle. I saw a red minivan hit people but don’t know who that was. Read someone hit his car with a baseball bat but haven’t seen that on video. Don’t know what to believe.
Perfect summation!
I'll see if I can find the video and link it.
...
OK, in the video Charlottesville: Car Crashing into protesters (Exhibit A) shows the car rolling down the street. As it fades into the distance, moving forward, it gets attacked from behind, before hitting anyone.
That video can be "spliced" with this one Car Plows Through Protesters 3 - Charlottesville, VA 8/12/2017 (Exhibit B), which shows the results of people being plowed into by the driver as the car was moves forward, stopping and then reversing only after it rear ends another vehicle.
Now, from the first video, it's quite apparent to me that the car is rolling down the street at an unsafe speed, given the people both around and in the street. The one guy who takes a swipe at the back end of the car doesn't seem like he changed the driver's behavior much.
Combining these two videos, it seems apparent to me that the driver was rolling down the street at an excessive speed given the conditions and situation, and creating a hazardous situation by doing so. None of us would go "rolling" down the street at that speed with people on both sides, as well as in the street ahead, and with people crossing back and forth.
If this guy was concerned about his safety, he would not have proceeded forward into a more densely crowded area, it seems to me. He seems to be deliberately courting danger, with respect to his own safety and that of the pedestrians.
I'd be interested in seeing other videos. But the combination of these two alone looks pretty damning to me.
Other than the one clown taking a swipe at the car's rear end, I don't see how "cruising down the street" directly towards an area crowded with pedestrians is any kind of defensive maneuver. Quite the opposite.
Offhand, I'd say this guy is in BIG trouble, and deserves to be. I don't see any break lights coming on during Exhibit A, but I could be mistaken.
The more I see this, the more it looks to me like this f-cker deliberately plowed into protesters.
Good luck arguing that he was fearing for his safety. If that was the case, he could have gone another direction, backed up before plowing into people, or just generally avoided the area.
It seems to me like this guy was "looking for trouble".
These are my thoughts after observing and considering both videos...
The guy is also shown in a photo with some “white supremacist” or “white nationalist” group, holding their “shields” with “logos” on them, and such. He did a bit more than just write a paper, it would seem...
I’m sure the DA and the BSM will make all these points as the coming weeks unfold. As I posted, this Fields guy might as well start carving his cross now because he is sure enough going to be crucified on it whatever the facts may be.
The van and other car were not empty
At 3:16 on this video a woman shows where the car has someone in the silver car. A little later, you can see people at the red mini van
At 6:58 she says’ where are the cops? . They were patrolling all day and as soon as Antifa starts marching they were no where to be seen”

Your “Exhibit A” doesn’t “show” anything and your Exhibit B is a dead link.
The group that provided the shields has stated that they were handing them out to anyone and that they don’t know who he is. The image on them is a “facista” (from the Mussolini era) which seems to me a great image to use if you are expecting trouble with a group calling itself “Antifa “. Believe whatever your emotions drive you to believe. I am trying my best to sift through the BS to glean facts before the BSM can propagandize the whole thing.
Too late for that, the BSM has already struck.
Fortunately, their credibility is absolutely shot with a yuge segment of the citizenry; they just don't have the ability to manipulate the masses the way the used to. The last 2 years have opened many, many eyes that aren't going to be shut again...
My "Exhibit A" shows the clown taking a swipe at the guy's car BEFORE he hits anyone, and my "Exhibit B" works fine. I just clicked it after I read what you posted.
Maybe it is just my IPad. I got a 404.
Your exhibit B on a second attempt did come through and this time I saw it. All it shows is the woman being killed as she is pinned between the rear of the car and the parked truck. So far, everything you have directed me to supports the case I have been presenting, so thanks for the help.
I agree with you.
Yeah 12 random idiots.
What is "the case [you] have been presenting"?
That the driver panicked?
That he was acting in self-defense?
To my eye, the person proceeded recklessly down the street at a speed which was excessive, given the number of pedestrians and their positions in and around the street.
It looks like a deliberate attack to me.
This is why we have judges and juries: to determine the facts and dispassionately render Justice...
This guy may not be worthy of a cross. He can create himself a noose out of rope. Less work and more apropos symbolism...
