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.

Someone on the radio said the cops pulled out because people were starting to smash parked cop cars with bats. Anyone verify this?

No, I've wondered about those, whether they'd been stopped by the crowd, or were part of the crowd, or whether they'd stopped at a Stop sign. It looked like there was a Stop sign well beyond the crowd and where the collisions took place.

Note that the driver rear-ended another car, not a pedestrian space.

He was on a street that was blockaded by militants, some of whom apparently were attacking him.

He was apparently trying to escape, not to attack.

"I understand there is video of her on the trunk with a baseball bat breaking out the rear window."

If you are serious and you have a source, submit it to Drudge. That flips the narrative.

Well, they couldn’t tie him to Russians, so they have to tie him to Germans.

So If I have this straight, conservatives met and had a permit. BLM and ANTIFA protesters arrived and got violent. So violent they surrounded a car and starting beating it, scaring the driver to run over a bunch of people.

Heard about this several hours ago. Guy was panicked and crashed. Was hoping for more video. Looks like it came in.

The problem for the prosecution is that Antifa had bats at all. Pretty hard to prove what he state of mind was given that evidence.

The person who died was a White woman; not of a protected class.

The person arrested is not a “kid”.

At your above video link it says in parenthesis that it was a protester’s flag, not a bat.

Thanks, your photo didn't come through, at least on my end. So I copied the image location, did a search and found it. In any case, it does appear to be a flag that he is hitting the rear of the moving car with.

For some reason, it only seems to be available in this small (low resolution) size.

Exactly, and you’ll never see the media showing those posters even once. Instead they lie to the public about this George Soros financed terror group that advocates genocide of white race.
