20-year-old James Fields of Ohio arrested on Saturday following attack at ‘Unite the Right’ gathering

Okay, Asperger Brigade, do your thing.

Who is James Fields?

(this post will have multiple updates.)

James Fields surrendered to authorities.

Reports say the police do not feel he acted out of malice, but acted of of fear because his car was being swarmed.

The Guardian, however, is saying he’s been charged with 2nd degree murder.

“He has been charged with second degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding and failing to stop at an accident that resulted in a death,” Kumer said in an email.

Mug Shot-

Odd, because an alleged still shot of the driver does not match the mugshot picture.

But it does match the description of eyewitnesses who say the driver was skinny with a scraggly beard.

Guardian:

The photographer Pat Jarrett, who was close by when the incident took place, told the Guardian: “A gray Dodge Charger plowed into a sedan and then into a minivan. Bodies flew. People were terrified and screaming. Those closest to it said it was definitely a violent attack. The driver, who people later described as a skinny white guy with a straggly beard, reversed out of there and drove off, the front end of his car all smashed up.”

James Fields seems to be paunchy.

  2. 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.

    Something isn’t right here. Yes, the woman was killed by a car, but something doesn’t seem right here.

  3. This is horrible what happened, My Friends.
    We fellow conservatives/Patriots(fighting for freedom and the American way) have been called and singled out as everything these leftist commies actually are. Do Not let the media commies brainwash you into thinking different about why this event happened and what ultimately brought it about.
    Leftists are trying to erase history.
    what’s next? Exhume Traveler?

  4. The brown-shirt fascists “antifa”

    Showed up to throw SUCKER PUNCHES

    Throw bottles

    Pepper spray people

    Riot, smash windows

    Block traffic

    And show bloodied faces of white people all over the internet as a warning, “We are violent and we will destroy you.”

    WELL WELL WELL! Guess who got bloodied up in Virginia? Yep, they were pretty shocked they were the ones on camera with blood running down their face.

    I don’t feel the least bit sorry for them.

  5. Something about this whole affair doesn’t pass the smell test. I have some questions.
    1. Why weren’t both protest groups segregated?
    2. Who bused in the Antifa/BLM assholes and why isn’t that group/persons being sought by authorities for an explanation of their actions?
    3. Why is the press running with the narrative that the right-wing demonstrators are somehow responsible when there were absolutely no issues until Antifa, BLM etc… showed up?
    4. Authorities in VA had to know this was going to be a powder keg and yet allowed this to happen, almost as if it was intentionally done to fuel anti right-wing sentiment. Did the Gov. and or local authorities give a directive to allow this?

  6. That Wasn’t Fear (watch the video) He Just Hauled Ass in to Everyone From 300 fett Away… He was Driving Freely not Surrounded. It Was Just Like Driving Near A Stadium and Slowing when the Crowd Wanders Like Huddled Cattle, You Slow The Hell Down !!!

  7. @Plantsman ~ people do all kinds of crazy shit in a panic

    my simple question is: why is some schlub from Ohio in Charlottesville, Va? … UVA student perhaps? … cruising around town? … ending up on the wrong street?

  8. Plantsman, ok thanks. couldn’t run it. Now I’m reading a brick was thrown at his car and he freaked out. Why was his social media stuff taken down? One person says Bernie supporter, another says Trump supporter. LOL. And now I’m bored.

  9. I Guess We All Hit Our Panic Button in Different Ways, But I Think Accelerating For a Few Hundred Feet With People in Front of You Is Insanity not Just Panic… It could end up Sanity or Murder ?????????

  10. Jerry/I Luv Bacon! How have you been?

    And you’re quite right. Permit granted. Permit withdrawn. Court says permit must be reinstated. State reinstates. Governor declares state of emergency what – a half hour before it’s set to start? – which means police can break up any crowd, permit be damned, no reason needed. All against a backdrop of Antifa/BLM promising a special guest appearance. And the Daily Caller has a story on it written by an “Education Editor” stating it was a clash “between white supremacists, Black Lives Matter, Antifa and other groups.” Not between “White Nationalists” (and there is quite a difference), who had a permit, and bussed-in BLM/Antifa, who did not.

  11. Hey, MORON, it says, “alleged”. And there were photographers there from the media. Now go throw your All- caps around at Twitter and The Guardian at the link. That’s where it came from, Ronny.

  12. Ah.

    Robert Barnes Retweeted ACLU of Virginia

    ACLU confirms that police were given stand-down order. This invited the violence the city used to shut down a court-permitted protest.

  13. Too much fake news for my smell test. The Democrats are not looking too good these days so it wouldn’t surprise me if they pulled something like this. “White Supremacists” is a trigger word used by Democrats to stir up the ignorant masses when the libs need a diversion.

  14. Well, this has been an interesting evening. The perfect racist storm. lol.
    No socialist, no kkk, no Occupy, no blm, no black panther group can have a peaceful protest because, well, they just don’t know how, I guess. And add some liberal instigation politics into the mix and you get death and fire. Good job. Hope the Earth swallows your asses whole.
    Night.

  15. It gets better, Ted Cruz’s statement, and this is why this guy can never get near the Oval Orifice.

    “It’s tragic and heartbreaking to see hatred and racism once again mar our great Nation with bloodshed. Heidi’s and my prayers are with the loved ones of those killed and injured in the ongoing violence in Charlottesville. The First Amendment protects the rights of all Americans to speak their minds peaceably, but violence, brutality, and murder have no place in a civilized society.
    The Nazis, the KKK, and white supremacists are repulsive and evil, and all of us have a moral obligation to speak out against the lies, bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred that they propagate. Having watched the horrifying video of the car deliberately crashing into a crowd of protesters, I urge the Department of Justice to immediately investigate and prosecute this grotesque act of domestic terrorism.
    These bigots want to tear our country apart, but they will fail. America is far better than this. Our Nation was built on fundamental truths, none more central than the proposition “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”.

  16. Yeah, Brad, he must have forgotten the antifa and blm bigots. Plum slipped his mind.
    There was more than one asshole at that party. Why do they keep leaving the other 2 out?

    Same shit happened at the Pro-Trump rally in CA. It’s not that there were klan members at the pro-trump thing, but the left sure acted like it was Trump supporters who did the rioting and not antifa and blm.
    Politicians haven’t caught on that wherever antifa and blm is, riots happen?

  17. Two Virginia State Police Officers died today while patrolling in a helicopter at UVA at Charlottesville. Lt.H.Jay Cullen and Trooper-Pilot Berke M. Bates died when their copter crashed. What a shame. Rest in Peace Brothers.

  18. MJA

    I think this had the potential to be much worse than it turned out. From what I’m reading the fix was in, a definite ambush planned. My theory is some really well armed Militia stopped most that shit cold. Not a big fan of the “White Nationalist” bull shit. Next time around lets have a “Conservative Nationalist” event. Shoot anybody with a God Damn Nazi flag.

  19. sure look like two different people. I agree with plantsman.
    Having two diff protests at same day as said above is suspicious. I blame muslims/islam for this. BLm is mostly black muslims w/soros money?
    i assume and they are stoking the fires of blacks and antifa

  20. Obama spent 8 years trying to start a race war and these asshole Neo Nazi’s are helping him out. Don’t hold another rally called “White” Nationalists. You’re fucking killing the conservative movement assholes.

  21. Plain Jane. You mean like Soros is paying both teams in this game? You never know. He’s attracted to war. While no one is paying attention, he’s picking the intended victims’ pockets.
    An awful lot of Hungarians have problems with him doing the same thing to them. And the Russians want him too, for financial crimes.

  22. Of the limited amount of friends I have (because I”m an Asshole) exactly three have a really good tan. I know if the shit hit the fan I can count on these guys. I know they know I’ll show up. All ex Mil. My most trusted friends. They’ve never met, until two of them a couple weeks ago at my shop. I’m checking out a good buds AR, he’s LEO and X Marine when in walks Charles, the mountain trained bad ass, smart ass Marine. Old Chuck says, “It’s getting awfully dark in here”. I warned him that he was not even close to being politically correct as I headed towards the back door. We were all laughing hysterically until Chuck ask me where I was going. Told him I was locking my truck. Good times. And my pals. I’m not caving to Obama’s shit. Neither are these guys.

  23. This whole tragic, real life Kaboki theatre is probably the warp brain child of the VA. governor and his deep state cohorts. BLM, other Antifa are the instigators. They’re financed by deep state progressives. As for the Neo-Nazis, their puppet masters don’t fall far from a Soros like tree. All anarchists fear not gaining control by implementing lawlessness and chaos. So many moving parts in this incident, but eventually they will lead to the deep state.

  24. Exactly, Bad_Brad. The left is engaged and unified to defeat us, so we can’t keep letting them set the agenda. Thank God for Pres. Trump. He’s such a good example of how to stand your ground. Conservatives can’t afford to let the leftist bastards win. Praying we get the eight years to set things straight as much as possible.

  25. I heard that the antifa skinny democrat stopped and forced this innocent young all american patriot, James Fields Jr., into the car at gunpoint. That’s when the police suddenly showed up and arrested the poor innocent man, as the terrorists antifa scum fled the scene. He’s innocent I tell ya, INNOCENT !
