    Look at the video, including the drone footage. This is an ISIL style attack.
    Sorry on cell. Google it and it will pop right up.


    The "drone footage" doesn't even show the car. I'm not sure what you are seeing in it, but the only thing visible is a red van going in to a crowd. It does nothing to prove or disprove that he was attempting to flee from some other attack.

    I've read in a couple of places that he is claiming objects were being thrown at him, and in earlier scuffles cement filled water bottles are said to have been tossed as weapons, but as of now there isn't any supporting evidence for or against this claim. The earliest videos I've seen (early in terms of event start) seem to pick up just as he flys by.

    I find that somewhat suspicious as most couldn't get a camera on their phone up and recording that quickly, but it's also likely many were recording the events of the day already. The question is whether or not the recordings were cut in order to avoid showing any attacks against the guy.

    That said, I've not noticed any attempts to slow his vehicle before impact.

    Hopefully the original videos can be obtained. Not sure if it would offer a case for innocence though, but there is a big difference between murder and manslaughter.


    At any rate, the silver bullet drone footage you speak of is a dud.

    Well, we can't all DAESH out and get a camera like that...

    Unconfirmed sources are indicating that they observed brand new Nazi flags (with creases from the packages) being waved around by the same folks who got off the Soros Buses (TM). Waiting for pictures now.

    I do find it amusing that the dead tree media is calling this a Nazi right vs. Lefty protestor issue, when Nazis and Communists are the same side of the political spectrum. Lots of Communist, BLM, the same sort of racist morons as all the rest of the Obama/Leftists, running around against...whom, exactly?

    Very odd.
    First of all you have to consider that much of the news reporting on it has an agenda, also many of the groups mentioned aren't afraid to announce their presence.

    I notice the media isn't claiming "Lone Wolf". I also haven't heard the media claiming white nationalists are now afraid of "backlash". You know, like when jihadis attack.

    I guess there are "bad" bad guys and "good" bad guys. I'm getting confused now.

    Not even close to "ISIS style". His car didn't even blow up.

    I can think of reasons for this to fall under the definition of terrorism, but making statements about "isis style" is ridiculous unless you can show me some pattern of ISIS driving vehicles in to a crowd then fleeing.

    In London, the guy mowed down folks and then jumped out and stabbed folks--knowing he was going to be killed. In other attacks, the driver got shot right after plowing into the crowd. In other attack, the driver plows into the crowd (or parks the vehicle strategically) and then detonates it.

    This was homicidal and premeditated and criminal and morally reprehensible as all get out; however, it bears no resemblance to ISIS/ISIL/DAESH.

    No idea.

    Beat I can tell he believes the 1A only supports speech he likes. He also dislikes speech from racists, but is ok with a racist (as best we can tell at this point) running down leftists in the street out of malice.


    In other words, he's taking every position available on the subject and voicing his opinion via incomprehensible internet posts.


    Also, he may have a keyboard connected to his phone with a sticky Caps lock button.

    Interesting...it appears that a black "protestor" hit the Charger with a baseball bat prior to the acceleration and impact. As an aside, I am often minding my own business on my way to a pickup baseball game when I am surrounded by racist, communist, violent "protestors" and decide march along with them. It happens, well, all the time.

    I look forward to the story unfolding.

    I also would like to see it unfold with the details all of the actions and events that led up to the incident.

    After finally reading about ANTIFA off of WIKIPEDIA, this group is an extremist group. Any militant group is dangerous regardless of race.

    Antifa is a political movement of autonomous militant anti-fascist groups in the United States.[3] It is associated with the global Antifascist Action movement.[2] Spreading from Germany, the network in the United States was initially known as Anti-Racist Action.[4]

    In 2013, the "most radical" chapters of the Anti-Racist Action formed the Torch Antifa Network,[5] which has chapters throughout the United States.[1] Other Antifa groups are a part of different associations, such as NYC Antifa, or operate independently.[6] According to Salon.com it is an organizing strategy, not a group of people,[8] and is commonly associated with a willingness to engage in a show of force. Antifa groups have most notably protested the 2016 election of Donald Trump.[4][9][10]
