Car rammer self defense James Alex Fields Jr

[DiAnna]

Gonna wait until I watch the videos myself to draw any conclusions about Mr. Fields. If I have the stomach to watch them.

I've seen the videos. The car was idling more than a block away from the crowded intersection, with no traffic in front of him beyond the two cards stopped at the crosswalk. He hit the accelerator, mowed down pedestrians, rammed the back of the second car and pushing the first car into the crosswalk, where a woman was killed. He then jammed it into reverse and sped backward, hitting more pedestrians before turning onto another street and speeding away.

Every indication on film and by witnesses indicates it to be a deliberate act. Time will tell about the motive; if the driver, who is in custody, decides to reveal it.

 

[Lethargic Aptitude]

Tech reporter for The Hill​ Taylor Lorenz reports that police believe the suspect didn’t intentionally mow down protesters out of malice intent. Lorenz reports that authorities believe that the suspect acted out of fear as protesters swarmed the vehicle, some allegedly acting violent.

Oh look fake news. I am really not surprised that you shared propaganda.

Why was Fields in Charlottesville?

According to his mother, to attend an alt-right rally. I have not found a corroborating source on this tho.

I hope you'll keep looking. But I'm guessing his mom might know. Link?

 

[Redress]

I frankly struggle to care.


Well, no i don't.... struggle that is. I don't care.


Anyone that showed up at that cluster **** was an idiot, left/ right or upside down, and whatever happened was entirely predictable and I have little sympathy for anyone involved.


Dumbassery hurts.

And the bitch deserved it. Gotta love people who blame victims.

So demonstrating against intolerance is a cluster you know what? The only idiots where the ones who turned this into violence, and the biggest idiot is this idiot with his car and by no way was such a thing predictable at all.

So the dead person should have expected to die? Is this what you are saying?

Ooooooo...they're going to crucify this guy:

Do you say the same thing about our soldiers killed in battle? "Oh, well they got killed in action, but they signed up for that. They knew what they were getting into."

Some realm really despicable comments in this thread.

Yeah, it just so dumb to protest the whole Nazi and Hitler thing.

Let the Nazis speak, they have rights yo!

Seig Heil, mein Führer.

Protesting Nazis is just dumb, right.

Entirely different matter.

Anyone using their brain at all knew this event was probably going to ****sville fast, and that going anywhere near it was taking needless, pointless risks for he sake of one or another dumb**** ideology.


S'why my sympathy is limited.

Protesting Nazis is just dumb, right.

And protesting accomplished what, exactly?

 

[calamity]

Fields is a veteran of the Army and registered Republican.

There are reports that he is claiming that leftist protesters swarmed his car and became scared for his own safety and panicked.

He was charged with murder. So, obviously the cops didn't buy his self defense bull****.

S'why my sympathy is limited.

Millions of people protest every year peacefully and with little to no incident. You are far more likely to get hurt/killed as a soldier than you are as protester. Just admit your comment was heartless and dumb and we can move on.

Well, the people on both sides at the park punching and throwing things at each other who got bruised up don't have my sympathy. But the protestors hit by the car were several blocks away from that **** show. I can spare some sympathy for them, even I personally feel counter-protests are counter-productive.

 

[Utility Man]

And protesting accomplished what, exactly?

People rained all over the Nazis parade and you ask what was accomplished ?

 

[Goshin]

People rained all over the Nazis parade and you ask what was accomplished ?

Yessir, I do.

Do you think the counter-protests convinced any Nazis to stop Nazi-ing? I doubt it.
Do you think you made the nation safe from Nazism by counter-protesting? i doubt it, and I doubt we were in any great danger of Nazis to begin with.

Personally I think as much could have been accomplished better, by simply ignoring them as if they didn't exist.


This isn't 1930s Germany.

 

[Serenity]

AH yes, the usual volsrock defense.

"Yeah well BLACK PEOPLE!".

Yeah it's messed up. Disgraceful really. Still, at least he's consistent. I'd expect nothing else from him. His posting style is more than proof of that.

So going to a protest is asking for death. Gotcha.

 

[TobyOne]

Nothing was accomplished.

Except for death, violence and the ginning up of bottom dwellers.

No, it is the United States of America and if the people in the 60's had the courage to march against hatred/discrimination, the protesters now had the same right and courage to stand up against intolerance.

And people did protest the Nazi's.

 

[iguanaman]

Also from the Mediaite link is this: "He also is reported to have served in in the US military. From August 18th to December 11th, 2015, James was listed as an Active Duty Service Member in the United States Army​." https://www.mediaite.com/online/jam...s-driver-who-crashed-into-counter-protestors/

Well that rules out scared then.

 

[Goshin]

So going to a protest is asking for death. Gotcha.

Exactly not what I said. I said THIS particular event was expected to be trouble an has been discussed as such for days before it occurred.


Sensible people stayed away. Protesting rarely accomplishes frack-all anyway, barring special circumstances, and something like being there to oppose a small and shrinking fringe group like the Klan and the skinheads isn't worth your life and limb.... and some kind of incident like this was not only predictable it was predicted.

They expected someone to be killed? And when they were they are not worthy of sympathy? All because you judge this a protest not worth participating in. Gotcha. We'll set up a hot line to you so people can check with you first what protests are worthy and safe enough to pass muster.

So giving in to fear is now the "sensible" thing to do? We all should hide in our houses while the scum take over the streets? No. It is the supremacists that should be afraid. They do not stand for America and America does not need to stand for them.
