the alt-right

you can see a couple cars slowly making their way through a large group of counter-protesters, and then suddenly another car slams into the back of the cars, then immediately goes into reverse and leaves the scene.

I didn't want to watch it, but I watched because I feel like I needed to.

Not confirmed yet but hoping the police got them

I saw the driver of this car get arrested https://t.co/vX4nepobaf

i don't know what that is, other than the blatant attempted murder of dozens of people

Yeah, there's no escaping from that.

i wonder if the police will brutalize them

This is still happening?

i fucking hate the usa

I hope there's a crowd sourced effort to document faces and identifying info for every fucking tiki-torch neo-Nazi. Let them regret this for the rest of their lives.

msnbc still reporting that they don't know if it was intentional or not. another graphic video, but this shows beyond a shadow of doubt that it was. it's a video from behind the car that did it, and you can hear the tires squeal as they slam on the gas toward the protesters. you can hear screaming, and then a few seconds the car flies backward through the same alley at a crazy speed.

I want to know who they are and where they came from. It looks like they are straight up self declared white suprematists, not just dickface provocateurs like Trump or Bannon who court this stuff but avoid directly fulminating against the Jews or whatever.

Very scary.

Is someone can get away with doing something like that in broad daylight in a crowd of self-documenting protestors, then nothing works any more.

jfc MSNBC is a garbage news organization

they STILL can't report this straight. they're still confused about what happened

I'm sure they'll catch this guy and book him for attempted mass murder.

i don't think they'll get away, they're driving a totaled Dodge Charger around

He was already arrested.

Confirmed, or they just found the car?

illinois license plate "BDR 529"

fuck these racist sexist nazis

now msnbc has finally obtained a video of the actual crash, and they're showing it on a loop, just over and over. i haven't watched msnbc report live news in a long time, i didn't realize they were this fucking terrible

@Josh, a redditor claimed to witness the arrest.

GODKPME

why does everyone keep calling it an accident??????

it totally wasn't an accident. video shows a dodge charger plowing into GODKPME and BDR 529 and then slamming into reverse and speeding out of there. arrest these nazi fucks already

Wow:

BTW, confirmation via this reporter's feed:

https://twitter.com/TaylorLorenz

...that car and driver are being held, and witness statements being taken.

Sadly, it appears (via the mayor and other statements) that there has been at least one fatality.

What does BDR 529 and GODKPME means?

Also, xpost photo could be triggering to some people.

re that picture : fuck.

no way am i watching any videos of that.

God keep me? First one's probably just state-issued.

GODKPME: GodKockPunchMe.

You do the best you can with the letters and numbers you have.

I really wish people on my feed weren't RT'ing the video. I wish I hadn't seen it.

ohio plates

GVF 1111

Nothing reasonable or measured about my thoughts at times like these.

4chan anon types identified the owner of Ohio GVF1111 as Jer0me Vanghe1uwe, a Trump donor. Google proofed because we just don't know...

also we don't know if someone stole that car, or if a friend borrowed the car, etc

This is the car that plowed through a crowd at the #UniteTheRight rally. Stopped along Monticello Ave. pic.twitter.com/7Uf4lHfAf9

It's freaking me out that 9 out of 10 responses to this fairly tepid Chuck Schumer tweet is angrily demanding he condemn BLM and Antifa. WTF?

Of course we condemn ALL that hate stands for. Until @POTUS specifically condemns alt-right action in Charlottesville, he hasnt done his job

— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) August 12, 2017

i would guess that 9 out of 10 of those responses are from people who either identify with the alt-right or have condoned them through silence over the last year and are too far in to back out without ostracizing them from their shitty friends

I'm sure they are, but it's fucked up that they appear to represent the vast majority of responses.

Like most people are looking at this shitshow today and their first response is democrats aren't doing enough to stand up to BLM?

i guess it's because people on the left don't really follow chuck schumer that closely, whereas people on the right probably view him as one of the left's supreme leaders that we all look to for guidance and direction, so they attack his every word? i don't know, i could be off on that. but i don't know too many people on the left who pay that much attention to schumer or retweet him, etc

like, i follow various liberals on twitter and it's never occurred to me to follow chuck schumer

I've commented on this in vociferous anti-racist terms on other forums, and been downvoted into oblivion. There's a lot (or at least appears to be a lot) of them, they want their race war and ethnic Bantustans, they think they're winning, they think "It's Happening", and they're happy.

As with the election of Trump, the response to this has made me deeply ashamed of the country of my birth.

it is quite alarming to see but you have to remind yourself that if 90% of americans thought BLM was worse than these alt right fools trump wouldn't have a 35% approval rating

It's so galling. If there was not rampant police violence against black people, there would be no BLM. If there were no fascists, there would be no Antifa. But the only things that would make fascism vanish would be no blacks, no Jews, no gay people ...

Like most people are looking at this shitshow today and their first response is democrats aren't doing enough to stand up to BLM?

possibly twitter is an irredeemable shithole and people whose first response is to respond to chuck schumer's tweet on the attack do not represent the cream of humanity?

...no immigrants, no uppity women, no Muslims, no atheists, no environmentalists, no scientists...

Going back too few generations no Catholics, no Irish-Americans, no Italian-Americans.

IMO, any president who doesn't single out white nationalists and condemn them in the most uncertain terms doesn't understand America, and its role in the world.

Fuck him. Mississippi Goddamn.

Fuck.

Trump has offered his support for...a police officer who died today?

Deepest condolences to the families & fellow officers of the VA State Police who died today. You're all among the best this nation produces.

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 12, 2017

Police helicopter crashed, two fatalities

i mean, that's good i guess. i didn't realize a police officer died today. but, it'd be cool if he also offered his condolences to the family of the woman who died today at the hands of a neo-nazi attending a rally that he refused to specifically condemn
