    Multiple deaths after KKK/Neo-Nazis clash with protesters in Charlottesville, VA

    I didn't see a thread anywhere on this. I will make the title ambiguous about the number of deaths, because I expect it to rise.

    Trump isn't going to condemn it because he agrees with it. He knows these are the type of people who voted for him so of course he isn't going to go against them. Piece of shit.

    Couldn't find his Facebook, but here's his mom's, and a picture of herself and him circa 2015. In the comments she mentions he's off to boot camp, so I'm guessing he quit or was rejected by the military: https://www.facebook.com/samantha.bloom.982

    Part of me hates this Woman because she had to have known something was up with her Son. And part of me feels sad for her because it's possible that she didn't know as much as people may think. When she spoke to the media, she had no clue that her Son was involved. Not sure what to think of her right now.

    I can just picture her sitting there watching the video for the first time realizing that she raised a monster.

    I'll have to find it but there's an article that quoted the mother saying she knew he was at the rally.

    Many on Twitter keep saying James Fields the Charlotte killer isn't a Nazi. This is him, pretty much Nazi.


    Here's the article I just mentioned:

    NATION Maumee man taken into custody for plowing into Virginia crowd, killing 1 Charlottesville rocked by white nationalist protests; Total of dead reaches 3

    COMMENTS

    CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. ? A car with a Lucas County license plate plowed into a crowd of people peacefully protesting a white nationalist rally Saturday in a Virginia college town, killing one person, hurting at least two dozen more and ratcheting up tension in an increasingly violent confrontation.

    Multiple media outlets are reporting the car is registered to 20-year-old James Alex Fields of Maumee, based on vehicle registration records. Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail Superintendent Martin Kumer told The Post that a man with the same name and age was booked Saturday on suspicion of second-degree murder, malicious wounding, failure to stop for an accident involving a death, and hit and run.

    Mr. Fields is being held without bail, and is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Charlottesville General District Court, Mr. Kumer told the Washington Post.

    RELATED: Trump says 'no place' in U.S. for violence seen in Virginia

    Samantha Bloom, Mr. Fields? mother, told a Blade reporter her son texted her Friday to say he had dropped his cat off at her Monclova Township apartment so he could go to an ?alt-right? rally in Virginia.

    ?I told him to be careful,? Ms. Bloom said. ?[And] if they?re going to rally to make sure he?s doing it peacefully.?

    It didn?t appear that happened, she said tearfully.

    She had returned from dinner Saturday evening unaware that her son was involved and had not yet been contacted by authorities.

    He had told her about the rally last week, but didn?t offer details about its extremist nature.

    ?I thought it had something to do with Trump,? she said.

    ?I try to stay out of his political views,? she said. ?I don?t get too involved.?


    She said he had moved out of her apartment ?five or six months ago? to his own Maumee apartment, but she declined to give the address. Ms. Bloom said they moved to northwest Ohio from Florence, Kentucky, about a year ago for her job.

    Along the quiet street where Mr. Fields? mother lives, neighbors living in the colorful one-story, conjoined units said they didn?t know much about the 20-year-old.

    Laurie Schoonmaker, who lives across the street from Ms. Bloom, said she hadn?t seen his car in months, but when he was there he often blasted polka music from the car.

    On May 25 he was charged by the Maumee Police Department with having expired or unlawful license plates on the same car connected to Saturday?s attack. He was found guilty of the traffic offense in June.


    Bob Rose, 62, who lives two doors down from Ms. Bloom, said he never spoke to the man.

    ?It?s shocking to know it?s that close to you,? he said.

    Mr. Rose said he had seen a vehicle matching the silver Dodge?s description at the house and ?might have waved,? but not much more.

    ?I?ve never spoken with the gentleman, I don?t know anything about him,? he said. ?You just never know. Until you get the whole story, you can assume what you want. Was he there to cause mayhem? Was he a white supremacist? I don?t know.?

    If he does hold extremist views, Mr. Rose said, ?I don?t want to know him.?

    Charlottesville Police Chief Al Thomas said Mr. Fields was taken into custody not far from the crash site.

    Mr. Thomas told reporters a 32-year-old woman was killed while she was crossing the street. Her name was not released.

    A helicopter crash that killed the pilot and a passenger later in the afternoon outside Charlottesville also was linked to the rally by State Police, though officials did not elaborate on how the crash was connected.

    The chaos boiled over at what is believed to be the largest group of white nationalists to come together in a decade: the governor declared a state of emergency, police dressed in riot gear ordered people out and helicopters circled overhead. The group had gathered to protest plans to remove a statue of the Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee, and others who arrived to protest the racism.

    Continued

    Matt Korbon, a 22-year-old University of Virginia student, said several hundred counter-protesters were marching when “suddenly there was just this tire screeching sound.” A silver Dodge Challenger smashed into another car, then backed up, barreling through “a sea of people.”

    The impact hurled people into the air. Those left standing scattered, screaming and running for safety in different directions.

    The turbulence began Friday night, when the white nationalists carried torches though the university campus in what they billed as a “pro-white” demonstration. It quickly spiraled into violence Saturday morning. Hundreds of people threw punches, hurled water bottles and unleashed chemical sprays. At least eight were injured and one arrested in connection.

    President Donald Trump condemned “in the strongest possible terms” what he called an “egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides” after the clashes. He called for “a swift restoration of law and order and the protection of innocent lives.”

    Trump says he’s spoken with the governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, and “we agreed that the hate and the division must stop and must stop right now.”

    But some of the white nationalists cited Trump’s victory as validation for their beliefs, and Trump’s critics pointed to the president’s racially tinged rhetoric as exploiting the nation’s festering racial tension.

    The Rev. Jesse Jackson noted that Trump for years publicly questioned President Barack Obama’s citizenship.

    “We are in a very dangerous place right now,” he said.

    Right-wing blogger Jason Kessler had called for what he termed a “pro-white” rally in Charlottesville. White nationalists and their opponents promoted the event for weeks.

    Oren Segal, who directs the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, said multiple white power groups gathered in Charlottesville, including members of neo-Nazi organizations, racist skinhead groups and Ku Klux Klan factions.

    The white nationalist organizations Vanguard America and Identity Evropa; the Southern nationalist League of the South; the National Socialist Movement; the Traditionalist Workers Party; and the Fraternal Order of Alt Knights also were on hand, he said, along with several groups with a smaller presence.

    On the other side, anti-fascist demonstrators also gathered in Charlottesville, but they generally aren’t organized like white nationalist factions, said Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

    Many others were just locals caught in the fray.

    Colleen Cook, 26, stood on a curb shouting at the rally attendees to go home.

    Cook, a teacher who attended the University of Virginia, said she sent her son, who is black, out of town for the weekend.

    “This isn’t how he should have to grow up,” she said.

    Cliff Erickson leaned against a fence and took in the scene. He said he thinks removing the statue amounts to erasing history and said the “counter-protesters are crazier than the alt-right.”

    “Both sides are hoping for a confrontation,” he said.

    It’s the latest confrontation in Charlottesville since the city about 100 miles outside of Washington, D.C., voted earlier this year to remove a statue of Lee.

    In May, a torch-wielding group that included prominent white nationalist Richard Spencer gathered around the statue for a nighttime protest, and in July, about 50 members of a North Carolina-based KKK group traveled there for a rally, where they were met by hundreds of counter-protesters.

    Kessler said this week that the rally is partly about the removal of Confederate symbols but also about free speech and “advocating for white people.”

    “This is about an anti-white climate within the Western world and the need for white people to have advocacy like other groups do,” he said in an interview.

    Charlottesville Mayor Michael Signer said he was disgusted that the white nationalists had come to his town and blamed Trump for inflaming racial prejudices.

    “I’m not going to make any bones about it. I place the blame for a lot of what you’re seeing in American today right at the doorstep of the White House and the people around the president,” he said.

    Charlottesville, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, is a liberal-leaning city that’s home to the flagship University of Virginia and Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson.

    The statue’s removal is part of a broader city effort to change the way Charlottesville’s history of race is told in public spaces. The city has also renamed Lee Park, where the statue stands, and Jackson Park, named for Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. They’re now called Emancipation Park and Justice Park, respectively.

    For now, the Lee statue remains. A group called the Monument Fund filed a lawsuit arguing that removing the statue would violate a state law governing war memorials. A judge has agreed to temporarily block the city from removing the statue for six months.

    Just wanted to post a breakdown of how people are defending this guy. This is their excuse.

    I think he was in the right and shouldn't be charged with anything except maybe for hitting the vehicle in front of him. Since when has it been ok to block a public street? If there's a large group of people surrounding my car and hitting it and throwing things, you better believe someone is getting ran over. This wasn't a protest. This was a riot.

    I didn't know what Antifa was. I had to look it up. (not that I believe it. Just posting to show how some classify it)

    From urban dic

    Antifa
    Short for (militant) anti-fascists.

    Middle-class champagne socialist/communist/anarchist white boys who don't like nationalists or fascists. They consider themselves to be rebelling against the establishment, whilst upholding all of its ultra-politically correct views.

    Antifa only dislike racism when its carried out by whites, and do not have the bottle to stand up against anti-white racism; leading to many people on the right to refer to them as 'traitors'. I'd rather just call them morons.

    Most are teenagers and university students who grow out of the fad when they start paying taxes.
    http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=antifa

    Then you have Vanguard America.
    uh, I'm not linking their web site. YUCK but here's what wiki says about them

    Okay. I thought that was WTF too.
    Seems like it's part of the whole racist movement. Something about keeping white music white.
    In 2005, National Vanguard showcased the pop-music duo Prussian Blue, made up of twin sisters from Bakersfield, California, Lynx and Lamb Gaede, whom the organization hoped would "be breaking new ground... creating an entire genre of pro-White music" that will cross over to mainstream audiences.[10][11] Their mother, April, is a writer and activist for National Vanguard.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation..._organization)

    Anyway, to get a little OT- that twin duo. WTFFFF?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prussian_Blue

    About half of the songs on Prussian Blue's first album are covers of other songs put out by other white pride bands with one (Lamb Near the Lane) co-written by David Lane and a few of the others by Ian Stuart Donaldson and Ken McLellan. One of their infamous cover songs, "Victory Day" was a covered song from the racist band, RAHOWA. Two of Prussian Blue's songs on their first album are dedicated to famous German Nazi and white nationalist activists, including Rudolf Hess and Robert Jay Mathews. One of those songs, dedicated to Donaldson, Mathews, Hess, and William L. Pierce, which was written by Lamb, is "Sacrifice".[5]

    Another song, "Gone With the Breeze," is dedicated to Mathews. The cover songs on their album invoke ideas like Valhalla and Vinland, taken from Norse mythology and sagas. Several songs, including "Victory Day," refer to a holy war waged under the banner of Creativity.

    The lyrics to their song "The Stranger" are taken from a Rudyard Kipling poem of the same name.

    Prussian Blue also released a cover of a song called "Ocean of Warriors" in mp3 format, dedicated to white participants in the 2005 Sydney, Australia race rioting.[13]

    In 2006, a compilation album was released through the far right National Democratic Party of Germany (NPD) titled For The Fatherland
