Car Crashed Into Protesters in Charlottesville, Three Cars Involved

Violence erupted in Charlottesville earlier on Saturday ahead of a scheduled gathering by white supremacists, white nationalists and alt-right groups at noon to protest the city’s decision to take down a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Skirmishes were followed by extreme violence.

Violent counter protesters, Antifa and Black Lives Matter, engaged the protesters and they quickly became violent. The communist groups are not being labeled by the media but the right-wing protesters are.

A car careened into about 14 to 16, allegedly, anti-alt-right protesters. Many eyewitnesses said it was deliberate. One person is dead and 19 are injured. Earlier, Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller told Fox News that three vehicles had collided in downtown Charlottesville. Geller added that the car seen backing away with a smashed hood in the above video had been located.

The driver who backed away has been located and is being detained. Officials do not know if the crash was intentional. [This is an update to the original article.]

The still picture doesn’t even show the car that was smashed into,all you see are people running, if the car was going 10-20 miles an hour it could have stopped before hitting 20 people and smashing in to the rearend of another car, looking at the front end damage of the dodge and rearend damage of the other car, 20 people hit, this was deliberate, or the driver was super drunk, or higher than s@#T on something, we shall see!!!!

Some sites are reporting the car has Ohio plates but the person lives in Michigan and is an anti-Trump leftist. If the person was from out of town and heard of a white-supremacist rally, could he have run over the Wrong people.

There was a still picture that showed the brakes active slightly before impact.

I failed to see in the video any brake lights, the person driving the car HAD to have seen the numerous people in the street ahead, as far as ohio plates, people come from far away to partake in crap like this, I believe this was deliberate, reports say the cops got the person, we shall see,
