Nutty. Car crashes into crowd at "unite the right" white nationalist rally.

[MikeK]

Do you think a white nationalist would sooner be friends with a black conservative or with a white liberal?

Hell if I know, I don't understand the thought process of idiots. I also don't know what that question has to do with the terrorist attack at the unite the right rally.

It appears that the terrorist action was performed by a white nationalist plowing into a crowd of counter-protesters ...

That's very possible, but I'd caution against believing anything you hear this early in the investigation. It might have been an alt-right white suppremecist, it could have been a counter-protester. At any rate, it was an evil act of terror. hopefully this will move decent people to start talking candidly about the cancers in the movements they embrace instead of focusing like a laser on their adversaries and ignoring their own backyards.

 

[MikeK]

I want to remind everyone that just because early reports are stating that the terrorist suspect, James Fields Jr, appears to be a 20 year old registered Republican, that his alleged actions do not mean that all Republicans or millenials are terrorists any more than Muslims or Christians or any other group is. There are bad apples on every tree, and decent people will always spend more effort cleaning the evil from their own movements than on criticizing others.

Nice thought and I agree.
But, unfortunately, we live in a time of immediate and righteous judgement and generalization.

I hope so ...

I don't know what point he isn't making either,Mike, but I hope he isn't trying to justify white supremacism by suggesting that it's just conservatism. It could be suggested that the question is suggesting that a white supremacist hates a white liberal more than a black conservative, therefore, white supremacists arent racist at all. They're just good old conservatives.
Surely that isn't the point of the question.

I don't get it, but my impression is that it was an effort to distract from the evils done by whites, conservatives, white nationalists, white supremacists, etc. The focus, to some, must always be on immigrants, Muslims, Socialists, liberals, etc. A lot of people are very reluctant to call out the evils in their own in-groups and instead obsess over the bad things about groups they don't happen to align with. Of course, hatred and blind faith in misguided ideals is at the core of this and all terrorist attcks, not liberalism or conservatism. When we fight that, we all win.

Doesn't look like terrorism anymore. Looks like his car was attacked by bat wielding "peaceful" protesters and he panicked.

Alt-Right white racist Nazis always have that name where you read it, and it just sounds like it belongs to a racist white supremacist who just murdered someone. Same with the names of suicide bombers: you know it's always going to be ali ali Mohammed akbar.

Source? Hope it's true that he didn't actually want to mow people down.

If you watch the videos, you will see like 20 people with bats and sticks. They hit his car as it was going down the road and once he crashed, he had his back window smashed as well. The media is in their virtue signalling phase right now so all we will get is the Evil racist VS peaceful protesters story but eventually some will begin to tell the truth. They are just afraid to be the first one to go against the current narrative because they don't want to be viewed as Nazi sympathizers or something. Also, if he was looking to take out a bunch of people, I would recommend the side walk where most of the people were at. Even Muslims are smart enough to know that.

 

[MikeK]

Yup, he is racist garbage. Sucks

Charlottesville suspect's mom told him to protest 'peacefully'

I've had my car hit with sticks and clubs crossing picket lines. I never mowed anyone down. That alt-right racists on stormfront and elsewhere are lining up to support this murderer is terrible. People hitting one's car with sticks is not a license to kill someone and injur 19 more.

I haven't seen these videos. Do you have links ???

I have. There is nothing in them that begins to warrant killing and injuring innocent people. There are a lot of posters on white nationalist websites trying to sell this as an act of self-defense, it very clearly was not. He was charged with murder, and appropriately so.

He's right wing and has a black friend is all that article told us. Nothing saying he's racist garbage. I'm right wing, have black friends, and support Trump hardcore. A lot of people are. Good attempt.

So was Zimmerman and how did that work out?

Um, he was pictured at the rally holding a shield bearing a white suppremecist logo.
