That day was a tragic disaster and to see how people have come to defend the driver is even more depressing, frustrating, and beguiling.

Includes a nice red circle and pause showing the hit before he drove into the crowd. Please keep in mind my two problems with this video, namely the lack of brake lights (which I'm sure is because his foot wasn't anywhere near the brake) and the problem judging his relative speed before and after the hit. As someone else pointed out, he may have already been speeding up before the person hit his vehicle.

SSgt Ryan Sylvester - Thanks. I'm sure it will all come out in his trial. My speculation is someone took a swing at him while he was passing by, but it's hard to say based on this video alone. Maybe there were surveillance cameras. I'm sure they'll investigate thoroughly, whether state or federal.

SSgt Ryan Sylvester - They'll play the fear card and already have. Early reports after arrest said he was scared and confused. That will happen after you intentionally run over 20 people, kill one and injure 19. I expect the mental card also i.e. poor little Jimmy never knew his Dad and washed out of boot camp for medical. I've read he was born and schooled in KY. His Mom still lives there and I've read she's a paraplegic. She was on Facebook (Samantha Bloom), but it's likely been suspended by now. They may be already planting tidbits in the media to steer public opinion. If the story below is true it makes sense that he would do this cowardly deed. Probably the kid that buried puppies before running their heads over with lawn mower. All leading to a short stay in psych ward vice hard time in the joint. It looks fairly pre-meditated to me and especially the pics of him in their uniform protesting earlier but that's what lawyers get paid for. He's entitled to a fair trial and should get one, otherwise we are no better.

Mom of Charlottesville driver said her son abused her
The mom of accused white supremacist killer James Fields Jr. repeatedly called the cops on her son as a teen because he was so violent. Samantha Bloom called 911 on Fields between 2010 and 2011, wh…

There are many people who attempt the military and wash out. This doesn't have any relevance to the case. There were people who served and committed crimes after getting out. There are also plenty of civilians who couldn't cut it and live productive lives. Not sure if this is something to stir the pot, or if it's just finding another fault in a criminal. Either way, what's done is done. He will be spending quite some time in prison once convicted.

I don't even understand what this has to do with anything. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who tried to go to the Army and didn't make it. I doubt that has any bearing on his white supremacist views since his high school teacher said he was obsessed with Hitler and Nazis back then.
I find it appalling to see comments on social media where people are defending this guy. "Well maybe there's more to the story." "Maybe he didn't mean to run over all those people." "I thought it was innocent until proven guilty in this country." Yet I guarantee you those same people don't say that when there's a terrorist bombing and it comes out it's a Muslim extremist. Hell people just assume every attack is a Muslim extremist.
I guess some people out there can just enjoy their Diet Racism and be happy with life. (Google Diet Racism on College Humor).
