RE: Just a reminder that the car in Charlottesville was hit/attacked before accelerating , and evidence indicates the marchers were hired (with 'VICE' in tow)

in #charlottesville7 years ago (edited)

It's a little ridiculous that a post about a call for actors 4.5 hrs way is somehow suggestive of busing rioters without any supporting evidence of any kind.

It's even more ridiculous to suggest that a clearly biased account should be taken as the official record of event. This account is one sided, pinning all aggression on anti-march demonstrators, despite of multiple video records showing that marchers also participated in and initiated violence.

But it is beyond ridiculous to suggest that one person swinging a club at a car is justification for murder. Despite the fact that the car is driving into a crowd of protesters for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON in the first place. Driving into a crowd, even at a controlled speed is endangering the lives of people there. Cars are a deadly weapon (as proven) and you could just as easily argue that violence against the car was a reasonable reaction to a threat on the lives of people there. If he was concerned about his personal safety, he should have backed his car out of the crowded area, not floor the pedal into a group of innocent bystanders (none of whom are the person who hit his car).

Yes, something seems very, very wrong. Why are people jumping through hoops to defend murder? He had a multitude of options at his disposal that would not have ended in anyone's death, but he chose the deadly one. If you're defending that decision, you really need to examine your morals and motives.

Did you read the post?

The act of driving a car into a crowd is profoundly cowardly, disgusting, and not justifiable under any circumstances.

With regards to the rest, I encourage you (and anyone else reading) to do your own research, and actually dig. . the mainstream press, for whatever reason, doesn't seem to want to show the pictures/videos that exist showing the car being surrounded and attacked.

This mischaracterization of what happened, in an incident that is bringing us to the brink of a racial/civil war, is the most profoundly irresponsible journalism I've ever seen. . . real journalism shouldn't have dogmatic/partisan motives, and certainly shouldn't try to score political/cultural points from the dishonest coverage of a violent attack.
