Just gonna re-post my thread here since there was absolutely no reason for it to be dumped:
Charlottesville vehicle rammer did absolutely nothing wrong
First and foremost, the "counter protest" was not peaceful. People were armed with weapons, people who sympathized with Anti-FA and BLM were there (by DEFINITION, domestic terrorist groups), and there's a now infamous image of some guy who jokingly threw up a Nazi salute in that area later getting hit in the face. That's not peaceful.
There are 3 videos of the event that have surfaced, but the most important one is this.
For starters, the car was going ~20MPH in a 25MPH zone. It traveled ~94 feet in 3 seconds BEFORE being hit by a bat/flagpole
It should be pretty obvious to everyone what happened if you don't arrive to conclusions using emotions and instead employ facts and reason. He was NOT speeding into the group, hit the brakes to AVOID hitting someone, and only accelerated once he was hit.
Brakes being hit:
He was clearly trying to accelerate through the crowd after he was attacked and surrounded by PROVEN domestic terrorists, evidenced moreso by this video:
Even AFTER hitting people, he only attempts to back up when people start hitting his car with bats.
I wouldn't be surprised if they try to "make an example" of him, but he did not intentionally try to murder those people, despite the fact that they were domestic terrorists and there would've been nothing morally wrong with it.
Expecting someone to just sit there while domestic terrorists surround his car would be foolish.

Oh wow, I didn't think you were really a Nazi too.
