The man accused of ramming his car into protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday seems to have already been found “guilty” by the media… but there may be more to the story than is being reported.

* * *

A video posted on Streamable reveals that the driver of the Challenger had slowed down and was apparently calm, until protesters hit his vehicle with a blunt object such as a baseball bat or large flag pole.

And you don’t run people over.

...

Normally you don’t, but haven’t some states recently passed laws saying you aren’t legally liable if you hit protesters on the road?

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

If he did it, he’s not worth defending. If he had no intention of hurting anyone, then he is worth defending. Regardless, he is INNOCENT until proven guilty. Do you actually live in America? God, I hope not.

[grania]

Once his car was attacked, it’s totally reasonable to assume he panicked. He didn’t live in Charlottesville, so wouldn’t have any knowledge about how to get away from the mayhem.

“ll the defense attorney has to do is show the video clip from the news helicopter of Reginald Denny”

I’ll bet you a steak dinner that video won’t be allowed. The defense attorney will be lucky to get testimony on record about it. But it sure looks like he/she won’t need it.

My crystal ball is seeing an involuntary man charge with probation/time served.

He starts speeding towards a dense crowd of people from a block away at a point on the street where there were very few people, none of whom were paying attention to him, with a near empty intersection directly behind him and a totally empty street on the other side of the intersection.

Where was the cause for panic?

He seems to be a very competent driver. He drives in reverse for over two blocks at a good rate of speed without wavering from side to side at all using only his rear view mirror to guide him.

My FRiends, Innocent until proven Guilty and the Right of Free Speech for people you may vehemently disagree with are now considered akin to Nazism in this Country.

The young man driving the Challenger was a Paranoid Schizophreniac according to reports. Did they find a Manifesto? Did he tell anyone he wanted to kill people?

He is being called a Murderer, even by President Trump without any proof of the Motive for what occurred. Talk about contaminating the Jury Pool.

We know NOTHING, yet accusations are being hurled about like confetti. I’m waiting for the Democrat Media to say that President Trump had his CIA remotely pilot the Challenger. Nothing surprises me any more.

I dont care if he killed 10 girl rioters that were threatening his life!

A person has the RIGHT to defend themselves!

[Williams]

Wrong he has a chance with me on the jury depending on the charge and his defense. He is still wrong. Terribly wrong.

Especially if you are dressed like this:

[Redmen4ever]

I agree with you. Gunning in reverse was reasonable. Accelerating ahead after being hit, could be mere negligence. Plus, if police do not identify the initial trouble-maker, Mr. Anarchist with a baseball bat, this wouldn’t be fair. Just check out the payroll of MoveOn.org.

[Williams]

You think that girl threatened his life? Yeah ok.

Btw Trump praised her and called the kid a murderer straight out. Just mentioning.

[wastoute]

He shoulda been a man. Like Reginald Denny.

[kaehurowing]

Furthermore, having driven into a crowd when you get attacked you font have the right to floor it in reverse and kill people. Let’s get real.

I guess you haven’t seen the video of the 20 antifa thugs armed with bats and sticks chasing the car, cornering it and then smashing the windows, have you?

One other point, did Bruce Jenner serve any time for rear ending the Old Lady and killing her when he had his accident on PCH in Malibu?

He also injured other People as I recall.

[firebrand]

The bat-wielders could have been part of the circus, as I’m sure someone will say farther downthread.

Just like that perfect clown guy. How to make sure a scene gets photographed!

[TexasFreeper2009]

yes... it isn’t reginal denny because the man SMARTLY accelerated and knocked all those rioters in the air :)

[KrisKrinkle]

“Should you then kill a girl...”

You keep writing “girl” but the female antifa protester who shouldn’t have been in the street blocking traffic was a 32 year old woman.

[Ray76]

> He didn’t move forward until he was attacked.

That’s not true. WATCH THE VIDEO.

[Williams]

Wrong, you can be convicted of reckless vehicular homicide without intending to kill anyone. I believe essentially that is the charge so far. I’m simply reacting to people here who are declaring him a justifiable self defense victim. He is an idiot and I guess mentally ill.
