James Alex Fields Jr, age 20

James Alex Fields, Jr. was booked on suspicion of second-degree murder, malicious wounding, failure to stop for an accident involving a death, and hit-and-run, Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail Superintendent Martin Kumer told The Washington Post. He is being held without bail.

Fields, 20 years of age, is believed to be active duty Army. His home is in Maumee, Ohio.

Tech reporter for The Hill​ Taylor Lorenz reports that police believe the suspect didn’t intentionally mow down protesters out of malice intent. Lorenz reports that authorities believe that the suspect acted out of fear as protesters swarmed the vehicle, some allegedly acting violent.

However, the eyewitnesses are all insisting it was deliberate. If Fields didn’t mean to mow down protesters, he won’t get a fair shake. The police chief has already convicted him.

If he is guilty, he deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The Charlottesville Police Chief, Al Thomas, said the violence was premeditated. It is being treated as a criminal homicide investigation.

Witnesses referred to the crash as a “deliberate act of terrorism.” Others said the car appeared to deliberately mow down pedestrians.

Did u see what he drove past or what he drove through to get to where he was? This is a horrific domestic terrorist act, yet by who? Who contributed to this. Was he directed that way, what was behind him? I didn’t see that. What I did see is him driving passed a bunch of probably paid rioters, throwing stuff at his car. Than speed up until he hot many and than the car in front. Also seen clubs taken to his vehicle when he backed up . I’m not sure what was going through his mind and nobody would unless in that situation. Where were the police ? Where were the alt right … Only blm and other groups marching . Alt right at a park before dispersed and being told they could not partake in March.

I have seen a couple other videos that look more deliberate. One from an overhead drone and another on the right side of the street. Those two showed it to be much worse than I originally thought. The van that was in front was pushed ahead by about 20 feet or more and struck many.

” This man appeared to be threatened .. only intent to leave the scene was out of fear. This terrible act was provoked.”………Why would he pick up speed and continue driving into a mass of people, smash into them, rear end another car, if he felt threatened, in the video, he had plenty of space between him and the crowd to reverse the car and exit the threat,

If you watch video of James’s car prior to taking up speed , u can see groups along side his car throwing stuff at his car. Videos right after he rammed into the car ,shows immediate groups dressed in black and with clubs hitting his car. Than he back up. I personally don’t think this was intentional yet a plot of paid rioting . Backpacks on back . After all said and those hurt and even killed , those people dispursed and not seen. The videos in between don’t show any of this , just acts of intention to destroy. This is a sad moment in the United States. Why are groups bussed in and why was a helicopter with police killed? Ask questions before you think u know. Do research before it goes away. This man appeared to be threatened .. only intent to leave the scene was out of fear. This terrible act was provoked.

” police believe the suspect didn’t intentionally mow down protesters out of malice intent”……….DUH, of course the idiot is not going to say he did it on purpose, DailyMail.com has pictures of this guy standing with the white supremacists, they have some great photos of this event, Both sides of this event SUCK, and should be condemned By the media and politicians who are too chickenshit to say anything about ANTIFA
