I’ve watched a lot of videos trying to see what exactly happened when James Fields drove his car down the street. The videos showed different angles and some only with him going in reverse.
Many of the alt-right have suggested that people were attacking his car with bats while he helplessly sat there. Then he gunned it in reversed, possibly in fear for his life.
The videos below are best I’ve found and show a bigger picture. Be aware, everything about them makes me sick.
What’s more is that he appears to initially slam his Challenger into the back of another car and that car in turn hit a minivan which then hit more people. Below is the drone video which shows all that.
A drone captured the terrifying moment a car plowed into the crowd in Charlottesville, Virginia — NBC News (@NBCNews) August 13, 2017
I’m watching NBC news. I can’t stand it. I’m outnumbered 3 to me most nights at work.
I try to go back to the impromptu “news conference” he gave in early Jan. It was so obvious he had no plan. He did not expect to win. He’s nervous, guilty, without a clue.
On the news tonight he’s defending the notion that there are 2 sides to every story, including this one.
“To me, clowns aren’t funny. In fact, they’re kind of scary. I’ve wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to
the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.”
This is attributed to Al Franken as Jack Handy on the bigassweb.
Granted Antifa are a bunch of assholes just the same but ya, Trump bringing up the permit over and over again like that somehow makes white supremacists good to go.
As far as I’m concerned they should amend the constitution to ban hate groups from parading around in public. They incite fear and violence wherever they go. You can’t go around the workplace promoting such but we allow it at our universities? Facebook and Twitter should ban them as well.
Confederacy? Stick all that shit in a museum. Somebody on Twitter even said that the Civil War wasn’t only about slavery.
I shouldn’t have been working on my columns after the sun went down but I had Zack de la Rocha singing “fuck you I won’t do what you tell me.” Hard to resist sticking it to conformity.
feeling the pulse in my eyelids…
Eorr had the light on and I wanted it off so I could watch TV. she finally got up to go to bed and i went over to turn the light off.
it was a struggle not to grab the cord and swing it up to the ceiling and smash it against the table it was sitting on.
after more than a decade of psychotherapy i’m able to tell that that would have been “over-reacting”.
i told the dr. sometimes i feel like i’m a wigwam and other times i feel like i’m a tee-pee. he said, “i see the problem: you’re two tense!”
Sometimes I’ll take a selfie with a tablet in Barnes and Noble or Target perhaps and then set it as the device’s wallpaper. Because that’s what you do when you’re me.
Often times when I’m doing projects around the house I feel like an archaeologist. There were blue, recessed address numbers on my front porch columns at some point. The columns themselves sported a pale yellow.
In related news… When I’m doing physical work my mind goes off on its own and works through other things.
Example: do you know what you get when you’re “right” at all costs?
Peeps, here’s a pop ballad for your Sunday morning. The chorus is good. Shut up. It reminds me of 80s skate parties and those couple of years, like 10 and 11, where my world was getting bigger but before being cool was a thing.
I’m pretty sure somebody at my house had an Air Supply 8-track or two.
Anybody wanna start an Air Supply cover band? I get to be Dudley Moore. I seriously thought Moore was in the band at first and not that little Australian, Russell Hitchcock. They could be cousins!
Speaking of Dudley… If you need a Sunday movie you should watch 1981’s Arthur with Moore and Liza Minnelli. Had to have been on cable at least once a month when I was a kid.
Before becoming a full blown rebellious teenager I could relate to a character like Moore’s rather than to one played by maybe a Clint Eastwood. Arthur embraced his inner child, probably too much, and he had that whole social awkwardness, spiritual clumsiness. The “I don’t know how to do this so I’m gonna drink to power through.” The “I have to follow rules but I won’t like them.” I always identify with those kind of struggles.
As a kid somewhere I knew I was going to need serious help to make it through life alive and Moore’s character was some subconscious role model. I know there’s parts of him in me.[1] Three cheers for cable TV. Yep, I have vivd memories of movie scenes, they’re as much of my childhood as anything else.
And in the movie Hobson had some of the best snark around. After researching I see that John Gielgud won Best Supporting Actor for his performance. Good. That scene where Arthur and Hobson are bonding in the hospital — I should’ve made a mental note then just how important people are and the few moments we have with them.
Anyways. Obviously I bond more with Arthur than I do Air Supply. 😉

Context is everything but these words are truthy:
“To me, clowns aren’t funny. In fact, they’re kind of scary. I’ve wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to
the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.”
