Alt-Right Protest in Charlottesville VA

[Non sequitur]

Explain.

Explain what?

I just posted a link to what I believe the user was referencing, when someone asked for evidence.

I don't know what's wrong with your link but it works for me. This early there are sometimes a few false flags.

Radical White Extremists/Supremacist, I'm not PC. I call it like it is.

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.

Yeah, I got your meaning after a few moments. That's why I edited my post, sadly too late.

No worries. I looked at it and it is phrased oddly.

 

[Nithavela]

Yea we just don't know yet, they aren't exactly a fountain of information early on because they don't want to divulge prejudicial information.

So better to propagate the propably false story and cause people to send an innocent man death threats (if not worse)?

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.

How can you say "it doesn't look like it was one of the racists"? Given that we have no idea who did it?

Your source you pushed tried to claim it was some dude from Michigan, when the license plate of the car is from Ohio, and as another poster posted, the man accused by your source is apparently at a wedding across the country. Honestly your source could be up for a libel suit or something similar (defamation of character, damage to reputation, etc.). I know I'd be suing the holy heck out of them if they did that crap with me.

Usually when you get one of these lone wolf attacks you find the person had issues, most of which have nothing to do with the issues being protested.

It just sounds like someone is a Alt-Right Sympathizer. Somehow it is unfathomable a White Supremacist can plow through protesters who are all were coincidentally anti-Racists

Only if people saw that way about Muslims.

I don't know but early on I was hearing he wasn't one of 'unite the right' protestors. It turns out that twitter feed I linked to is a false flag and at this point we just don't know.

 

[Redac]

There was a press conference a couple hours ago, and they already had the guy in custody at the time. If it really was one of the alt-right guys, I'm surprised they haven't already announced it.

Of course he wasn't one of the protestors, he wasn't even in the same state...

Well that guy that shot up the gay night club in Florida, Omar Mir Seddique Mateen, was radicalized online. I guess he was kind of religious but his wife said she didn't think religion had much to do with what he did.

Do they give Alt-Right guys Club Cards?

I don't think they can, when your talking about felony assault and murder they have to be careful to protect his rights. My guess is it will be a couple of days before we know for sure why this guy did this but I suspect he will turn out to be a head case.

Trump Takes Heat for Blaming Violence at Charlottesville Rally on ‘Many Sides’

Mark Herring, Virginia's attorney general, immediately tweeted that the "violence, chaos, and apparent loss of life in Charlottesville is not the fault of 'many sides.' It is racists and white supremacists.

Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah, the longest serving Republican senator in history, said on Twitter: "We should call evil by its name. My brother didn't give his life fighting Hitler for Nazi ideas to go unchallenged here at home."


Republican New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie condemned the "racism and violence of white nationalists" and said "Everyone in leadership must speak out." Republican Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona called out "white supremacy" in condemning bigotry; and Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa referred to white nationalists and called the violence "homegrown terrorism."

Read the article, many more Republicans are calling it what it is, they not afraid.
David Duke, once grand wizard of the kkk, tweeted to Trump....

Duke responded to Trump's earlier statements on Twitter in a series of his own tweets, reminding him "who put you in the presidency."

Trump sparks backlash after blaming rally violence on "many sides"

Per WaPo:

The car is registered to 20-year-old James Alex Fields of Ohio, according to vehicle registration records reviewed by The Washington Post. Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail Superintendent Martin Kumer told The Post that a man with the same name and age was booked Saturday on suspicion of second-degree murder, malicious wounding, failure to stop for an accident involving a death, and hit and run. Kumer said Fields is being held without bail.

Yea apparently that was a bogus twitter feed, I gotta be more careful about that.

And I doubt he's left-wing:

Fields registered as a Republican in 2016, public records reviewed by The Daily Beast show.
