  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Evidence indicates a left-winger mowed down antifa counter-protestors in Charlottesville, not a right-winger or white nationalist, GotNews can exclusively reveal. (REPORT: Man In Car That Plowed Into Charlottesville Protesters “Anti-Trump” The Count)

How do you incite someone to drive into you? Also, source?

I never said the protesters incited the driver, now your putting words in my mouth.

Edited to add: This twitter feed appears to be bogus, guess that's what I get for quoting twitter.

You and a bunch of your buddies swarm the car, trying to get at whoever is inside? Can't say whether that's what happened, but it's certainly one way to get someone panicked enough to do that.
That's not what I'm getting from the footage, look up, 'Charlottesville Car Attack - Raw Footage - Multiple Angles'.

Indeed, it looks less like panic and more deliberate. But he was asking how you might incite someone to run a car into you, and that's one way.

You can't be serious getting info from a website that looks like it's made by a 5 year old.

"Evidence" indicates? So a Left Winger misses all the racists? I find that hard to believe.
The way I'm getting this the racists had already been told to disperse and were leaving. Some of the counter protesters when the car struck were chanting, 'who's streets, our streets', celebrating what I'm sure they considered a victory.

The Charlottesville police said that the victim was killed when the car rammed into the group, and that 19 were injured. The victim was not identified, nor was the driver of the car, who was apprehended. (3 Dead, 35 Injured After Day of White Supremacy Rallies in Charlottesville, Variety)
We don't know for sure the identity of the driver yet, but it doesn't look like it was one of the racists. The other two deaths were a helicopter crash. I woke up this morning worried about this and I've been following it in between playing online chess and playing with my grand kids.

Naivety is fun.

What are you getting from the footage exactly?
They were peacefully chanting and milling around in what is described as a shopping district. This road was being used for pedestrian traffic when this happened.

It wasn't a radical white extremist who drove that car into the crowd and reports indicate the counter protesters are adept at inciting violence.
Never mind I see other posts that have debunked your web link article.

The attack in Charlottesville looks like someone deliberately attacking the protesters, not someone getting panicked by people swarming the car and driving through them in an attempt to escape.

You don't know that. The link you provided gave Maybe so and so and that is all. The link they provided does not work, its a 404.
So it seems to me we need to wait and see.
I don't know what's wrong with your link but it works for me. This early there are sometimes a few false flags.
