When I saw this protest on tv earlier, I knew someone would end up dead as a result of this event

Seeing those creeps walking around with the guns I thought someone would be shot but I never imagined they would sink to this low and run over a bunch of their fellow Americans.

I hope the driver gets the death penalty and is the poster boy for the hateful white nationals.

since VA is an open-carry state, and these asshats can't even go grocery shopping without bringing their guns (you never know when some bad guy might want to snatch right out of your hands the cantaloupe you're innocently thumping for ripeness). I hope they catch the f&cker tout de suite.

Inspired by Islamist extremists in Nice and in London...

The car had no license plates visible, the windows were heavily tinted.

I suspect the car was driven directly to a garage where a crew was waiting to tear it apart and the parts trucked out of VA to other states to be buried (if they were smart... perhaps not).

Yet to be seen if the crash into the other car (that probably wasn't part of the plan) left enough forensic evidence to track the car to the owner... but again, if they were smart the owner would have reported the car stolen a few days ago.

for "vehicular homicide" and "leaving the scene of an accident." Accident, my flabby old ass.

Oh, I think there was an accident involved. I don't think he could see the other cars moving slowly through the crowd.

There is just a little too much video of this but you never know what a crooked judge and jury will do.

And claiming he was swarmed with dents to the car before he drove into protestors and killed someone. I guess we will see, as facts come out, if his little story is going to get him off for murder.

It looks like you are the one responsible for all this.

Isn't that the reasoning behind Russian meddling? Obama knew and didn't do enough, so it's not tRump's fault.

You don't have to be mean about it to me!

Cruelty to others is unbecoming.

Sorry, I was trying to make a statement about how the right places blame on liberals who "don't do enough" to stop hateful people on the right.
