Cliff notes on attacker?
Can anyone provide cliff notes on the attacker? Not sure why the news is not talking about the individual. In most similar attacks, the focus is on the attacker's background, moto, associations, etc. The news is still going 24/7 about this story but I don't think they are talking about the individual at all.

Why did he do it?
Was he looking for a specific person within the group?
Where is he and what charges are we looking at?
His associations.
What is his defense looking like? He lawyer up yet?

All it will take is the video of the attack on the rear of his car, still shots of the damage caused to the back of his car, both of which happened before he accelerated forward, and the defense reminding everyone what happened to Reginald Denny when he didn't try to evade further attacks on his vehicle.

Maybe some of those posting in this thread are too young too remember what happened to Reginald Denny when he didn't evade further attack?

Here is a pic of the car barrelling down the street just prior to hitting the protesters. Notice there is not a mark on it in the back. Your claim that it was attacked from behind with sticks and bats does not hold up. The car is perfect in the back. It wasn't attacked by antifas with clubs until AFTER it ran over 20 people. Some of them twice.

Wrong. There's video of a lefty slamming a flagpole into the rear of the car earlier than that. And look carefully at the still image you posted... There's damage to the left rear bumper exactly where it was struck by the flagpole.

Oh Come on. You all are pointing to everyone but the guilty. It was the alt left's fault......it was the police's fault..........the poor guy was scared for his life, fault..........everybody else's fault except for the white supremacists and nazis who descended on Charlottesville with bat, shields and guns in full riot gear. Their opening act was to march around the campus carrying lighted torches and shouting anti Jewish epithets.
No, those guys had nothing to do with it.

As choke "president" choke, Trump says, "there were a lot of really good people in that group".

Clue: No there weren't a lot of good people in that group. the group was composed of white supremacists and Nazis.
Good people would never march with white supremacists and nazis..........period.

The police were in CHARGE. And they had better riot gear than either side. They did little, except forcefully pushing the rallyers out of the park and straight into the crowd. They also allowed counter protesters to block entrance to the park using violence before the rally was cancelled.

Other rallies and events had the same charged atmosphere and have been handled well by other cities. You don't even hear about them because the towns and police did their jobs. Even liberal cities like Seattle and Portland have been able to control these clashes. Berkeley does not and a lot of people got hurt. On one hand - keep the peace, on another allow chaos and violence - oh let's see which one should we choose...???

Didn't you read this:

or this:
Teacher says suspected Charlottesville driver James Alex Fields Jr. showed extremist ideologies in high school | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
or this:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local...e0a9f18761&xcv

His mother called 911 at least twice saying that her son was going to committ violent acts.
How much more do we need to know?

A known neo-Nazi with violence in his past - who constantly praised Adolf. And yet, folks here are saying that he was just a tourist trying to leave town...

I believe he is being charged with 2nd degree murder...which sorta means he didn't look at the woman involved and plan her demise beforehand. His intention may have been to just hurt 100 people. Or it may have been to kill 100, but not planned long before. If he had planned it long before he would have rented a big truck.

Much of the Republican party and Fox news has jumped the shark. They are now carrying the Left's agenda and straining all credulity that the alt-right is the sole villains to be blamed and no blame for all the things anti-fa, BLM, communist and leftist and democrats have done.

They've divided the republican party, against Trump and against part of the base and stand with the democrats. they are fully preaching the leftist dogma that only whites can be racists and supremacist. They are of little to no use to anyone now and have about finished digging the grave and putting the last nails in the coffin of the republican party.

The republicans running interference for a Nazi domestic terrorist are the ones that have jumped the shark.
