    Not to make light of the situation, but that's a damn good photo. The focus is spot on. Any idea who took it? Major News Network Correspondent?

    there it is,i can tell you this ,this would not have happened if the leftest would have stayed away
    here it is ,the left showed up and started the fight ,they should have let them have their protest,so tell me how did this clash happen,the left showed up and started the fight,this is the left's fault.

    as for calling my gf a traitor ,i hope i never meet you.

    the traitors are the ones tearing down the AMERICAN flag.

    When you start bending over backwards to rationalize the reprehensible, as right wingers frequently find themselves doing, you've lost your case.

    You can use all of these flimsy excuses for why he might have rear ended someone. But what's the excuse for slamming the car in reverse and flooring the throttle through a crowd??????

    Your first attempt to write this off was pathetic and self serving. Let's see of you can top it.

    Suddenly you guys are for the death penalty, eh? And without a trial and conviction, eh? I think it's highly racist that you would deny certain rights to people of one color and dish them out by the barrel-full to the other.

    What is pathetic, is being reactionary, and running with little evidence.

    I think I topped it.

    I don't think anyone would run towards a car. I don't care "what side" this sick bastard's on, he should have a bullet in his head. The idea of a trial, prolonged tax dollars and lavishing in a federal prison is too great for the kind of evil he did today.(Of course, won't rule out entirely that it's not a female. But female killers tend to be more emotional and specific in prey.)

    There was a commentator on Faux news that is saying this was done by an Alt-right nationalist for the sole purpose of inspiring other people to do the same. Wow, he knows all that already?

    Keep your head on a swivel, people. Things are getting strange.

    Less than 5% of the whites in the South owned slaves. Fully 3/4's of the white people of the South had neither slaves nor an immediate economic interest in the maintenance of slavery or the plantation system.

    This was written by none other than the late John Hope Franklin in From Slavery to Freedom, McGraw-Hill, 1994., p. 123. Franklin was a Harvard educated Professor Emeritus of History and Professor of Legal History at Duke University. Dr. Franklin also happened to be a Black man. This may come as an inconvient truth to some here.

    So, why did they fight. As Prof. V.L. Parrington said in his Pulitizer Prize winning book Main Currents in American Thought,"slavery was only the immediate casus belli. The deeper cause was the antagonistic conceptions of the theory and functions of the political state that emerged from antagonistic economic systems." Bingo.

    my ggf did now owon slaves as most of the men that fought did not.
    you are typical of most liberal haters,you do not know what you are talking about.

    That was clearly wrong. I think it's hard to see the plate from the lower resolution cell phone vids so maybe that's where it originated.

    I'm beginning to lean towards a panicked driver.
    I'm trying to find credible stories that have more details and not having much luck but have read that the car had dents and looked to be battered prior to plowing into the crowd.
    Read about another eye witness that said another car had been chased by protesters with bats and that protesters are blocking roads leaving drivers vulnerable. The police are not yet saying the act is intentional. Really need to get more info on this one.

    If the counter-protesters decided to use their time a little more wisely, there'd be one less dead. That's not an excuse, it's sadly a fact.

    No one forced the leftist protestors to show up. And suddenly the lefts' argument that someone looking for violence will find it, like they did when that Trump supporter was beaten to a pulp by leftists, magically disappears.

    The interesting thing about these rallies is that there's only violence when the leftists are there.

    Right wing only - no violence
    Left wing only - violence
    Right and left wing - violence

    Yet the right wingers are always blamed.

    Similar to Jews and arabs. No violence unless arabs are present yet the Jews are always blamed. Why? Because the leftists are on the arabs side.

    Sounds a lot like an excuse for something that was likely an act of terrorism.

    "Well, if those journalists hadn't been traveling through Iraq, ISIS wouldn't have chopped their heads off."
