CHARLOTTESVILLE — A man accused of plowing a car into a crowd of protesters here — killing one person and leaving 19 injured — has long sympathized with Nazi views and had stood with a group of white supremacists hours before Saturday’s bloody crash.

The accused driver, James Alex Fields Jr., 20, of Ohio, had espoused extremist ideals at least since high school, according to Derek Weimer, a history teacher.

Weimer said that he taught Fields during his junior and senior years at Randall K. Cooper High School in Kentucky. During a class called “America’s Modern Wars,” Weimer said that Fields wrote a deeply researched paper about the Nazi military during World War II.

“someone on another discussion board was saying Trump stated, when he began his campaign, that his favorite book was Mein Kampf”

Abraham Lincoln to Secretary Seward, after Gettysburg: “The problem with quotes on the internet is that it is hard to verify their authenticity.”

" I don’t care what “sympathizer” he was. That has nothing to do with it. Try him and execute him. All this other talk is polarizing."

MeneMeneTekelUpharsin has it correct, except for "Try him." No need for a trial, just execute him! He's against the PC meme "Thou shalt NOT discriminate!!!!"

PC Thinking has, after all, solved most of the world's problems!

If you write a school paper about Trump they will say you’re a Nazi sympathizer.

After you are expelled.

Thanks so much for that info. I have been offline for a few and have been catching up today on this story.

Didn’t bother to read FOX or Dailymail website on this story.

These early reports were wrong. The skinny guy they showed was the previous owner of the car.

....I just wish the white supremacist and KKK types would stop using the Confederate flag as a symbol of their hate...

As the old paramilitary branch of the Democrat party, they should use a flag with the Democrat party logo on it.

“was a Nazi sympathizer”

So he was an admirer of the wicked murderous National Socialist party?
Assumed as much; that he was radical leftist.

“That’s because it were white supremacists and neo-Nazis who organized these protests, rallied the troops and showed up to crack commie skulls. It was David Duke and Richard Spencer. They seem to be the only ones who find these old statues of dead white guys worth fighting for.”

Oh so let’s all rain praise on the neo-Nazis, David Duke and jr. Duke as if non neo-nazis haven’t been working their butts off in their own locations.

If you are looking for us to kiss their ring, you need to think again.

Anyone know where he worked or if Fields was working at all? I have seen no work history.

“Well, that proves it: Trump’s fault.”

The mayor of Charlotteville, VA. already blames President Trump, said that just look at the campaign President Trump ran... What that has to do with the price of tea in China, I haven’t a clue.

The main issue is that one group had permits for a rally and were lawfully assembled while the blm/antifa/leftists we're not.

BLM is a racist, black supremacist group, no different from the Klan and antifa is a communist/terrorist outfit.

They both use violence as their first tool but this time it appears that it was thrown back in their faces.

Williams and friend George Halliday ducked into a shop with an open door and called their mothers.!"

Mommy, Mommy! The people we were picking on fought back.

Bottom line...the alt-right group had a legal right to be where they were and to say what they had to say.

The powers that be and the msm are blaming all of the violence, including the chopper crash on the alt-right but none of this would have happened if they had been left alone.

I don't go to dem/antifa/blm rallies and riot just because I believe that they are treasonous, terrorist scum.

In other words he has more in common with Keith Ellison than the Tea Party... he’s definitely not a fan of Netanyahu.

Here is a good example of why we study military history:


Excerpted from a 2014 paper by
Claire Mayo
History Department
Elon University
Elon, NC 27244 USA

“European military leaders knew of de Gaulle’s radical military theories, but his recognition did not extend
outside of this very small audience. In 1934, de Gaulle received significant attention for his book Vers l’Armée
de Métier, in which he emphasized the influence of tanks in military maneuvers. French military theorists hotly
contested de Gaulle’s radical ideas on tank warfare; British military students simply ignored his theories for offensive tactics.”

The Germans, however, read his book and adopted his strategy for a mechanized army in the
blitzkrieg, or “lightening war.” Combining Panzer spearheads, the Wehrmacht infantry, and the Luftwaffe air
forces, German military strategists used de Gaulle’s theories to conquer Europe. In contrast, the French ignored
de Gaulle’s pleas to invest in tanks and instead poured their money into the Maginot Line.

"that is what they are calling people who want to preserve Civil War history?"

When I see the leftists and Antifa attacking our American heritage I am reminded of ISIS smashing precious 3000 year old Assyrian statues, or the Taliban blowing up the Buddhas of Bamiyan. The Left, the Taliban, and ISIS are brothers under the skin.

What that has to do with the price of tea in China, I haven’t a clue.


That price of tea was McCauliffe being the co-front-runner against Kamala Harris in ‘20, in another ‘16 redux. That dream is now long gone with the magnificent backfiring of this Soros plot, even he does get the FAA/NTSB brass to conclude his ‘tail’ chopper pilot was at fault.
