A man driving a 2010 Dodge Challenger rammed into a group of liberal counter-protesters demonstrating against a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, VA, Saturday afternoon – killing one and injuring 19. After plowing into the crowd, the car reversed and rapidly sped away.
The driver has been apprehended by police and his identity has not been released.
Police say the car was covered in dents prior to the incident, according to journalist Taylor Lorenz of Mic, adding “If you watch the earlier part of my stream you can see anti-right wing chasing after a Lexus and throwing rocks, bottles, a shoe. This car was not the one that mowed people down. That was a differ grey car.”
While early reports said that the driver was afraid and trying to flee the mob, footage shows the car purposefully accelerating into the crowd from a distance.

The driver was taken into police custody right after the incident. Police say the car was covered in dents prior and apparently hit by a bat

President Trump condemns and Jeff Sessions issues a statement
"We condemn in the possible strongest terms this display of hatred, bigotry and violence," Pres. Trump says. https://t.co/tZfyR3BB6h pic.twitter.com/ZqWGyNR8Mu

Sessions:
“I have been in contact with our Department of Justice agents assisting at the scene and state officials. We will continue to support our state and local officers on the ground in any way possible. We stand united behind the president in condemning the violence in Charlottesville and any message of hate and intolerance. This kind of violence is totally contrary to American values and can never be tolerated. I want to thank all law enforcement personnel in the area for their commitment to protecting this community and the rule of law.”

You want your narrative. You can keep your narrative.
So the pinko marxist dipshits financed mainly by the (((likes of))) Soros are demonstrating against a white nationalist rally which in turn is controlled by the (((likes of))) Soros type of globalists (ehm, commies) for their political purposes, i.e. to discredit the deplorables and Trump supporters. This gets really confusing….
People who use ((())) is actually code for I’m a fucking retard.
This whole thing smells. The tell is that the ACLU went to bat for the Confederate monument protesters – never before have seen ACLU, one of the most left wing organizations in America, go to bat for such a cause. Early /pol/ investigations indicate a young white Antifa supporter was driving the car, but still too early to say.
Checking #charlottesvile immediately after the event revealed a coordinated operation; the usual suspects with almost identical statements. Bill Clinton, Adam Schiff, Al Franken, and so on all with almost exactly the same phrases. Since that time thousands of tweets with similar anti-Nazi comments. This does not happen organically. It has been planned and Twitter-botted.
Simultaneous hacking of right-wing websites. Redice.tv down, apparently members database has been compromised.
It would not surprise to find that Soros/Media Matters has funded both sides. Operation to completely change the political narrative of the entire country for probably less than $100,000. Photo-ops of Confederate flags and Nazi flags side-by-side, with men in KKK penguin suits and nazi salutes. All too carefully choreographed. You’ve been pwnd America.
I warned about falling for the left-created term ‘Alt-Right’. Now anyone who is not extreme left will be cast into the ‘Alt-Right’ bucket and vilified by the images and narrative attached to this event, forever, by the bought-and-paid for fake news media complex.
The hit and run was horrific. Wanton murder. Cannot believe this is happening. My prayers go to the victims.
There are extremely dangerous subversive leftist elements in this country that, if not purged, are going to destroy it. Media Matters and the entire related, subversive edifice must be raided by the FBI and shut down before it is too late. Cut off the funding mechanism and this madness will stop.
Hoover did this with the mobsters of the 1930’s, we need to do the same now, urgently.
Or maybe it doesn’t smell… and people are just fucking idiots? Sometimes the simplest answer is the actual answer.
I do wonder if my great grandparents are rolling over in their graves though……..Wonder what they’d do with a bunch of cunts walking around with swastika flags.
@Josh ACLU, no police presence, guys dressed up in Halloween costumes, Confederate and NAZI flags side by side, NAZI salutes, violence. This does not happen organically. The so-called KKK and NAZI members; well, who knows who these people are?
Dig this:
Frank Collin, the first President of the National Socialist Party of America (1970-1977) was really a Jew, named Cohen who’s father was a survivor of the NAZI holocast.

This year a 19 year old Israeli-American dual citizen Jew has bomb-threated over 150 Jewish community and day care centres to stoke anti-Semitism.

In Houston, Christmas 2015, a Mosque was fire-bombed by a devout Muslim who allegedly prayed there 5 times a day.

In upstate NY this year, a Jewish man was jailed for spray painting Swastikas on his own house and reporting them to the police as racist vandalism.

Do you still accept this event in Charlottesville at face value?
Radical Christian Terrorism
No, soros planted the nazi flags, dude. You looks at too many actual photos of actual cunts that think they’re nazis on the msm.
We need a ban on these type of terrorists.
Nah, people who hate nazis are intolerant snowflakes now. Every piece of shit should have a voice without getting a fist shoved down their throats. shame were a country of bitches now….
Not that having dreads is owned by a race….but hmmmm makes you wonder

Man all the defense here is just heartwarming. You guys are really going to bat for a deranged little fucktard racist? Did you even read David Duke’s words on the day?
Don’t confuse the search for truth as defence. No one is defending the murder of innocent people, we simply want the truth as to why this has happened, who funded who, and why security is repeatedly being told to stand down at these events. It’s called critical thinking.
DOJ/FBI have lauched an investigation. Good. I just hope it goes beneath the surface answer why there was little or no policing of the two sides, and to see where any funding may have originated.
We ban agencies that fund Islamic terrorism, but why not domestic subversion? They both have the same effect, people die.
