Play stupid games = win stupid prizes. If you don't want to scare a driver into fleeing, don't attack his car. Seems pretty simple. How do so many not get it?

It's really absurd to see so many bad people like that (racists, neo-Nazis etc.) in a country built on immigration.
Bad enough if it were the case in an old homogeneous country of the Old World, but in in the New World it is just odd.

Natsku and I didn't see brake lights before the pole was struck in the video. We just saw a steady drive into the crowd. And my feeling: The rear bumper was struck with an a pole simply because Fields was just about to drive into the crowd.

Show us the actual speed via a mathematical formula using video frames per second rate and the gps locations of the car.
Er the fact that he drove straight into that crowd without using his brakes without using his breaks anywhere near the crowd - if he wasn't intending to run people over he would have been breaking that whole section.

Why don't you show us the actual speed? Remember to show your workings.

Exactly, even though the brake lights are clearly visible in the video and still frame photos before the flagpole attack. And that's why no one will believe the histrionic overly-emotional witnesses at trial. The truth presented in the unbiased, objective video and still frame photo images will be indisputable.

After being attacked? No. And proof of other drivers doing exactly what he did, flee to evade attacks already committed, is present in video of other locations in Charlottesville that day.

Those videos will also be presented as evidence at trial.

Well, there is that.



Guy drove into a bunch of people.

Right before he ran them over, someone slapped his rear bumper with stick.

The stick hit did not cause him to panic and run these people down. That was already underway.

A brief flash of brake lights didn't make a bit of difference to the woman he killed or the people he injured. It is not going to make a difference with a jury.

That's if his defense attorney even brings up such ridiculous nonsense.

The insanity defense is likely where they are going with this one. News reports are already saying he is schizophrenic and takes meds for "anger management issues."

That's conjecture. There is no direct evidence to support that.

There IS direct evidence that he slowed down as he approached the congestion and then accelerated forward to flee after he was attacked from behind. No one has ever produced any direct evidence to refute that other than their "feelings" and conjecture.

It's not odd at all really and woven throughout the history of the U.S. starting back before the revolution (1776) and then on through the invention of the KKK by the Democrat party.

Also, you forgot to add the Anti-Faaa and BLM into your "bad people" list...
