This is an important topic, no doubt, but maybe there's something new to discuss?
I agree. Stop denying the veracity of information that has already been shown to be true.

It would also help if people would stop emoting and start thinking logically and critically.

I remember seeing video of the poor guy pulled out of a car and beaten during the King riots. No doubt some people in the street would fear the same. Perhaps a trial will shed light on what really happened, once all the evidence is put forth. Yes the guy was a white supremacist scum, but why was the lady in the road? Was he trying to run away, or trying to kill? That's the real question when it comes to murder.

Bingo. And that's why the videos/photos of the attacks on his and other cars before they fled will be relevant.

The guy pulled from his vehicle and beaten to a pulp on live TV during the (Rodney) King riots is Reginald Denny. They started by attacking his vehicle, were then able to break his window, open the door, pull him out, and beat him nearly to death.

The drivers similarly accelerated to flee the violence-crazed left-wing/Antifa who had just attacked their cars from behind (throwing cement-filled soda cans at them and kicking at least one car).

They were fleeing the attacks from the left-wing/Antifa they were already subjected to, and so was the driver in the fatal accident as video of the incident shows.
I see you gave a Specific time to start watching this video. Why cant you do the same for a real-time video, give a Specific time when the brake lights went on and Fields accelerated. I'll provide a video posted by someone who's commentary agrees with yours in some ways :

The Nazis are, as usual, up to no good - but those who have the courage to speak out against them are doing what we should ALL be doing.

If you cannot stand up and speak out against hatred and bigotry, then, for sure, you are doing no good.

Apparently you have forgotten history. But I and others like me have not, and we are determined NOT to let it repeat itself. There will be no Nazi regime here as long as we have legs to walk and breath to speak.
Trump was foolish to make that dumb "fine people" claim. This will haunt him--he's already lost support.

He should watch the interviews with those "fine people" and revise his assessment, or he may seriously regret it. They are real interviews--no claims of 'fake news' can be made.

Who knew that siding with the Nazis and the Klan would be what finally caused folks to go, "Well, I don't know about that."

I gave a specific time for that video because it's a 5 hour 12 minute long video and I'm guessing people don't want to watch the entire thing to see specifically where the left-wing/Antifa were attacking occupied cars from the rear, without evening knowing the occupants' association.

It's much easier to stop a short video to see the brake light evidence.

Watch the video, posted at that link which captures the Dodge's brake lights lighting up as the car goes by as it's approaching the congested part of the street. The Dodge was slowing down at that point, not speeding up.

Watch at 1/4 speed between 0 and 1 second. Brake lights are lit because the driver is slowing down:

The Dodge didn't speed up to flee until after it was struck from behind with the flagpole.

Well, MOST folks anyway. Obviously others will continue to defend Nazi's and murder.

I can see how there may have been some good people in the crowds. Basically good, but stupid and just there rubbernecking to see what's going on. It's not uncommon for people to go watch just because of curiosity.

Who knew that the Left would label anyone who disagrees with them a Nazi?
