if they where not outnumbered and antagonized by the counter demonstrators it would have been peaceful
they came in and was throwing rocks and bricks, and trying to catch the protestors flags and signs on fire while they where holding them, physically attacking them
in addition, the legal protestors where all labeled white supremacist by the media and counter protestors to demonize everyone involved
Shame on the driver.
exactly
and the reaction here was completely different when Ferguson and Baltimore protestors where blocking highways, members here stating that they would not be mobbed and drive through them
apparently the liberal and media spin has gotten to many including here
The whole problem started because the city decided to remove a Confederate statue.
The City of Charlotte should be sued for inciting a riot.

It was a setup,not quite a false flag.The dumb white extremists fell for it. Since Trump can not utter a white terrorist did it he will be crucified in the public.
Hell he already stated he like his German heritage so he is guilty of being a racist already in BLM circles.
They are not going to accept any outwardly displays of The Confederacy anymore. The Democrats have us over a barrel with this while they still accept abortions of innocence life that is taken every day in this country! They know how to play the game better than Republicans.
They are hypocrites yet are seen as civilized fore-thinkers of a higher calling! What a lie that is! Two wrongs don't make it right!

What needs to happen is these "white extremists",as serf calls them,is sue the pants off these leftist organizations for their racist agenda. Just as would be done to any white organizations doing the same to other ethnic groups.
The Governor called them that! Now that they fell for the trap The white protestors are all going to be labeled! Not me. He used a car so the government can't ban car ownership but you can bet if it was a handgun they would be crying for gun confiscation!
I got the liberal anti gun stamp put here by quoting that gun violence is going to strip our guns away from us sooner or later and maybe some here can begin to see how it's going to happen. Wake Up! I ain't no liberal or a fool that can't see it coming.

You can?t stop some crazy guy who came here from Ohio and used his car as a weapon,? Governor McAuliffe said. ?He is a terrorist.?

Honest journalism is long gone. That should be a felony.
Yep,driver of car was surrounded and being attacked. Someone threw a large object through the back window of his car and he freaked out, mashed the gas pedal and the this was the end result. Nothing like the media becoming judge,jury and executioner without having all the information. Definitely trying to set the narrative for their agenda.

If the first contact was made by the ANTIFA counter-protest, we will likely never hear the truth, as broadcasting it would put the career of any journalist in jeopardy.
There are facts in this case:
Those that were protesting the removal of the statue of American Patriot Robert E. Lee had a valid permit for their protest at the place and time of the protest.
The ANTIFA fascists who came to counter protest did not.
Both groups were armed to some extent, as the ANTIFA fascists have announced their intention to disrupt protests with violence if they deem it appropriate. The permitted protestors prudently brought with them some means to defend themselves against this announced threat.
As has been stated, absent the ANTIFA fascists arriving and violently challenging the lawfully permitted protestors, there would have been no violence.
We are being told the lawfully permitted protestors are the aggressors in this instance. That, in my opinion, is an impossible and false conclusion, as absent the ANTIFA fascists arriving and instigating a confrontation, there would have been no violence, no injuries, and no deaths.
The drive of the car may have innocently stumbled into a crowd of ANTIFA fascists and was surrounded and assaulted. Conversely, he may have been trying to instigate the confrontation.
Either way, he will never get a fair trial, as even if he is acquitted by a local court, the Justice Department will go after him for civil rights abuse charges.
It is a no win situation for those of us who support the saving of our history. The USA is currently embarked upon a dark chapter in our history where regardless of motive, those that do not correctly dismiss what is perceived to the evil of our past will be persecuted.
