President Donald Trump finally did what no-one in the Conservative Establishment would: calling out the Antifa (the “Alt Left” in his words) for sparking violence at the legally-sanctioned demonstration in Charlottesville: “You had a group on the other side that came charging in without permit,” the President said. “They were very violent” [Trump Says ‘Both Sides’ to Blame in Charlottesville Violence, Reversing Monday’s Stance, by Peter Nicholas, Wall Street Journal, August 15, 2017].
This is objectively a true statement. And it has sparked nothing short of shrieking hysteria from the Opposition Party, the far-Left journalists who are tirelessly working to overthrow the President of the United States and ruin the lives of everyone who voted for him.
But Donald Trump did say something questionable. He called James Alex Fields Jr., the man who allegedly drove a car that collided with a crowd of protesters and killed one person, a “murderer.” He thundered:
“I want to know the facts. The driver of the car is a disgrace to himself, his family, and his country. You can call it terrorism. You can call it murder. You can call it whatever you want. And then you get into legal semantics. The driver of the car is a murderer, and what he did is a horrible thing.”

Needless to say, Trump will get no credit for these words. And perhaps he shouldn’t. Especially when it follows a statement about wanting to “know the facts,” it is wildly premature to call James Fields a “murderer.” There is a surprisingly good chance he will be acquitted—or, perhaps more likely, convicted of a lesser offense such as manslaughter. This is exactly what happened with George Zimmerman, Officer Darren Wilson and a long list of other Main Stream Media lynching victims (including most notoriously South Charleston police officer Michael Slager, whose murder charges were ultimately dropped).
The key fact which the Main Stream Media is concealing: the Antifa Communists were allowed, and indeed, encouraged, to run wild and attack people after the police broke up the #UniteTheRight rally. This included taking over the streets, something you would think would not be allowed after Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe had declared a “State of Emergency” i n order to break up the rally. As Rebel Media’s Faith Goldy pointed out on the scene, this was a blatant double standard.
Not surprisingly, when heavily armed far-Left psychopaths are marching around looking for people to attack, there is violence. And this includes attacking people in cars. Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists have long practiced trapping people in cars before attacking them. An eyewitness reported that this was precisely what was being done to James Fields. Taylor Lorenz of The Hill made several points:
Protesters were chasing and attacking several cars She herself was punched (ironically, though journalists shamelessly shill for them, Antifa often attack journalists because they don’t want their violence caught on camera) Police at the station “think the guy running people down wasn’t malicious” and was “scared”
For good reason.
Though there are many conspiracy theories out there, let’s accept that Fields was the driver. He plowed into the crowd, and then, damningly, backed up and hit more people.
However, video evidence shows his car was quickly set upon by a mob wielding bats, who smashed his back windows and would presumably have smashed his skul l had he not backed out quickly. That’s clearly self-defense.
