This is an absolute travesty.

And it is evidence that the justice system in America no longer works, and thus the entire government is illegitimate. If they can put you in prison for murder only because of your political beliefs, you have no rights left, and you are simply waiting around for the government to start the mass round-ups.

I didn’t see this coming.

America was a nice country while it lasted.

AP:

A man who drove his car into counterprotesters at a 2017 white nationalist rally in Virginia was convicted Friday of first-degree murder, a verdict that local civil rights activists hope will help heal a community still scarred by the violence and the racial tensions it inflamed nationwide.

A state jury rejected defense arguments that James Alex Fields Jr. acted in self-defense during a “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, 2017. Jurors also convicted Fields of eight other charges, including aggravated malicious wounding and hit and run.

Fields, 21, drove to Virginia from his home in Maumee, Ohio, to support the white nationalists. As a large group of counterprotesters marched through Charlottesville singing and laughing, he stopped his car, backed up, then sped into the crowd, according to testimony from witnesses and video surveillance shown to jurors.

Yes, the same protesters who had bats and guns were singing and laughing with joy as the psychopathic guy with Google Maps on trying to get home all the sudden decided to commit a murder-car attack at 23 miles an hour.

Prosecutors told the jury that Fields was angry after witnessing violent clashes between the two sides earlier in the day. The violence prompted police to shut down the rally before it even officially began.

Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old paralegal and civil rights activist, was killed, and nearly three dozen others were injured. The trial featured emotional testimony from survivors who described devastating injuries and long, complicated recoveries.

After the verdict was read in court, some of those who were injured embraced Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro. She left the courthouse without commenting.

Fields’ mother, Samantha Bloom, who is disabled, left the courthouse in a wheelchair without commenting.

A group of about a dozen local civil rights activists stood in front of the courthouse after the verdict with their right arms raised in the air.

A black power salute.

I don’t know why these blacks care about this dead whale who was stealing they men.

“They will not replace us! They will not replace us!” they yelled, in a response to the chants heard during the 2017 rally, when some white nationalists shouted: “You will not replace us! and “Jews will not replace us.”

Charlottesville City Councilor Wes Bellamy said he hopes the verdict “allows our community to take another step toward healing and moving forward.”

Wes Bellamy is the former Vice-Mayor.

He is ungrateful.

Charlottesville civil rights activist Tanesha Hudson said she sees the guilty verdict as the city’s way of saying, “We will not tolerate this in our city.”

“We don’t stand for this type of hate. We just don’t,” she said.

Well, it’s a way of saying something other than “we genuinely believe this man is guilty of first degree murder.”

Because no one believes that. So convicting him of that must have some other reasoning behind it, and “we won’t tolerate white people” seems to fit.

The jury will reconvene Monday to recommend a sentence. Under Virginia law, jurors can recommend from 20 years to life in prison on the first-degree murder charge.

Fields is eligible for the death penalty if convicted of separate federal hate crime charges. No trial has been scheduled yet.

At this point, they might just go ahead and kill him, and then come out and say “well, we had to do that to prove a point.”

This is absolutely insane.

I genuinely did not believe that it was possible for him to get convicted on the murder charge. I thought it was going to be manslaughter.

Now, I feel like a sweet summer child, who had no idea how bad things really are.

But you all need to understand: this is how bad things really are. They will convict you of murder for your political beliefs today, and tomorrow they will round you up without any charge and throw you in a gulag.

We are officially in a full-on Bolshevik type situation, and we need to act accordingly.

Be prepared for much, much worse coming down the line.

They are coming for all of us.

Well, Thursday was the last day of arguments in the Fields Trial.

Now we’re looking at jury deliberations, which will wrap up next week.

I broke down most of the information that was presented at the trial yesterday in a long piece.

I still feel this is looking good. But in closing arguments, the defense is pushing for Fields to only be convicted of the lesser charges of involuntary manslaughter and others. I don’t even think he should be convicted of that, based on what has been shown to the court.

WVIR:

Defense attorneys rested Thursday, December 6, after calling their final two witnesses to the stand. Attorneys for the 21-year-old Ohio man have been presenting their case to the 16-member jury inside Charlottesville Circuit Court since Tuesday, December 4.

During closing arguments, Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Nina-Alice Antony reiterated that the case is about intent. She told the jury it is time to answer the central question, “What was in his [Fields’] mind when he flew into the crowd?”

Fields is accused of killing Heather Heyer and injuring dozens of counterprotesters in a car attack on Fourth Street August 12, 2017. He is charged with first-degree murder, five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding, and one count of failing to stop at an accident involving a death.

Antony talked to the jury about malice, intent, and premeditation during the commonwealth’s closing argument. She said Fields used his Dodge Challenger as a weapon, that he acted deliberately when he accelerated into the crowd, and that he meant to do them harm.

Fields had participated in the Unite the Right rally, and believes he was acting in self-defense when he drove into the counterprotesters. The commonwealth said there was no evidence anyone harassed Fields that day, and that no one was near Fields before he drove into the crowd.

Antony said that according to the defense witnesses, Fields was calm on August 12 and nothing was wrong with him. Three people who were with Fields before the car attack – Joshua Matthews, Hayden Calhoun, and Sara Bolstad – all testified that Fields was calm and had invited them to go get lunch.

On the matter of intent, Antony explained that intent can be any amount of time. She said surveillance video shows Fields’ intent when he reversed on Fourth Street – away from the crowd – and then sped forward. She said his intent was not to kill Heyer specifically, but to kill any member of the group. On Fourth Street, Fields “seizes his opportunity to make Instagram post a reality.”

This instagram post:

I think everyone has probably seen that meme before. It’s actually a boomer Facebook meme from the “Black Golden Age” of Obama-led race riots.

They are using that and a text he sent to his single mother, trolling her with a picture of Hitler, as proof that this was a terrorist plot.

Defense Attorney Denise Lunsford closed by asking the jury to consider whether Fields acted with actual malice.

Lunsford argued that Fields was 20 years old at the time of the Unite the Right rally. She said, “A meme is not an expression of intent, necessarily.”

…

The defense finished up by saying that Fields acted out of fear, rather than hatred and malice. Lunsford asked the jury to find Fields guilty on the lesser charges of manslaughter and unlawful wounding.

I think that’s giving too much ground. I’m not a lawyer, but I am a man and so am necessarily smarter than all women.

I don’t know why she is giving this up – I don’t know what information that the prosecutors presented that made her move from a plea of “not guilty” on all counts to “oh well, maybe guilty of manslaughter, lol.” It is standard procedure to ask in closing arguments for only the lesser charges, but only when you are feeling that you can’t get off on all of them.

Antony spoke to the jury a final time about how sometimes memes do mean what they mean, and that Fields turned the meme he posted on social media into a reality. She then showed the jury a photo of Fields during the incident and said that this is “not the face of someone who is scared.”

That’s not really a fair argument, because James Fields doesn’t afraid of anything.

That’s the key reason that bitches be hatin’ and tryin’ to keep him down.

The jury of seven woman and five men will begin deliberations at 9:30 a.m. Friday, December 7. The four alternate jurors were dismissed Thursday.

Court was delayed earlier when Matthews failed to show up on time. The Augusta County man eventually got into contact with authorities, and took the witness stand Thursday afternoon. Following his testimony, Judge Richard Moore ordered that Matthews be detained for contempt of court for failure to appear on time, telling the witness, “I’ll deal with you later on today.”

The judge is clearly acting out of malice here. He’s indicated on record that he thinks Fields is guilty.

Now he’s holding one of his friends in contempt for fearing to come to court because of the Antifa intimidation.

Dwayne Dixon, a member of the militia-style Redneck Revolt, was called also called to testify Thursday. He testified that he saw a “gray, muscle car” around the downtown area several times.

Dixon said he did not witness the crash, because he was being interviewed at the corner of Fourth and Jefferson streets. The witness was carrying an AR-15 rifle that day, but testified he kept it “slung, muzzled-down.” He has claimed previously that he used his gun to scare off a man he believes was Fields. During his testimony, Dixon said he could not see the driver because the car had tinted windows.

The commonwealth called Steven Young, a detective with the Charlottesville Police Department, back to the witness stand after the defense rested. Young went over Fields’ geo-location information from Facebook to show a timeline of the defendant’s movements from that day. It appears some of those timestamps do not support Dixon’s statements about where he saw the “gray, muscle car.”

Yeah but of course Dixon won’t be charged with purjury because this is a literal kangaroo court.

A court full of kangaroos.

I’m not going to make any predictions. I honestly don’t see how they can convict him of murder, but maybe they will anyway. It’s 11 whites and one black on the jury. But it’s seven women and five men, and the black is probably a male.

And probably the whites are all kikes like that movie “Jury Duty” with the kike Pauly Shore.

So they might just go ahead and lynch him.

The compromise would be convicting him of manslaughter and sentencing him to 3 years with time served, which would mean he’d get out pretty quick – before the appeals process was even finished.

That would give us time to get him a new car.

As the defense began their defense of James Fields on Wednesday, everything was looking pretty good. This is according to the court reporting, which has been horrible, seemingly on purpose – meaning it may be looking even better than it looks that it is looking.

It’s a real shame that there aren’t cameras in the court, like with the OJ trial. This is at least as important as that. I don’t know how after they’ve talked about this case for these many months they are able to make the claim that it isn’t in the public interest for this to be broadcast live. But I guess that is what it is, and we’ve only to rely on these terrible news reports.

Although the court has been shown to be aggressively biased against James Fields in an almost cartoonish way, the judge making all these statements indicating he doesn’t believe he’s innocent, they had to hear a lot of stuff that played in Fields’ favor in the extreme, and very little to support their own claims of a pre-meditated murder.

Point one was that he was crying when the cop arrested him, and bodycam footage was shown in court. He said they were attacking him. Then when he heard someone died, he started crying again.

The Guardian:

The white nationalist who drove a car into a crowd of counter-protesters at a Virginia rally last year began sobbing and whimpering after his arrest when police told him he had killed someone, according to video played at his trial on Tuesday.

Prior to the rally he had sent his mother an image of Adolf Hitler, the court in Charlottesville heard on Tuesday.

But within minutes of the mayhem at the tail end of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville on 12 August 2017, James Fields could be heard on footage recorded by a detective’s body-worn camera saying he acted in self-defense.

“I didn’t want to hurt people, but I thought they were attacking me,” Fields told the police, according to the video footage played to the jury, which is now expected to opine sooner than expected on whether to convict Fields on 10 charges, including murder.

After police arrested him, Fields, 21, asked at the police station about the extent of the injuries he caused.

“There were people with injuries, one had passed away,” a detective tells Fields, according to video footage from the police station. Fields is then heard sobbing, whimpering and gasping for breath.

Steven Young, the lead detective on the case, testified that it took about two minutes to calm him down. “Mr Fields appeared to be in a panic,” Young told the court.

…

“I got the weekend off,” Fields wrote to his mother. “I’ll be able to go to the rally.”

“Be careful,” his mother replied.

“We’re not the ones who need to be careful,” Field wrote. He also attached an image of Adolf Hitler.

[Judge Richard] Moore told the jury they would have to weigh whether the exchange and the image of the Nazi leader showed that Fields had premeditated intent. Attorneys for Fields called Paul Critzer, a Charlottesville sheriff’s department deputy, along with three other law enforcement officers, to the stand on Tuesday afternoon.

Critzer testified that he talked to Fields after stopping his Dodge Charger and telling him to throw his keys out of the window. “He seemed calm in tone. He said, ‘I’m so sorry’,” Critzer said, adding that Fields bolted away from him after initially putting his hands out of the window of his car as if he was going to surrender.

The Hitler message is certainly unfortunate. And I will just note here that cops never would have gotten ahold of that if he’d been using Signal messenger with auto-delete set. But it hardly indicates anything at all. There had been a bunch of previous Alt-Right rallies where antifa attacked demonstrators and were beaten back, and that was clearly what he was referencing.

The prosecution trying to explain why he was having an emotional breakdown when he heard that people were hurt and went into a panic attack when he heard someone died is really confusing. What is even the argument there? That he was a trained psychopath, acting out fake tears?

Okay, say you believe that – what would be the purpose of it? To try and be able to plea not guilty and say this was a car accident after the fact? So he planned a murderous attack with a plausible deniability backup?

Well, okay – then why did he send his mother that message?

If he had really planned this out to the extent of having a back-up plan to fake cry and fake a panic attack when he heard someone died, then wouldn’t he have to have the foresight to not have a message record of him saying something that can be twisted in the way that text can be twisted?

Come on now.

But it gets even dumber.

Let’s see about the reconstruction of the car accident.

WCAV:

Virginia State Police Senior Trooper Clifford Thomas testified about the reconstruction of the crash scene.

He said he accessed the airbag control modules and event data recorder, or EDR, from the vehicles involved.

There was no airbag control module data recovered from Field’s Dodge Challenger. Thomas could not elaborate on why because each manufacturer constructs them differently, which causes them to activate at different speeds.

The minivan involved in the crash did not have one because it was manufactured before they were required.

However, Thomas did recover the module from Tay Washington’s Toyota Camry, which help shed light on how fast Fields was driving when his car plowed into the crowd of people.

Thomas testified data from Washington’s car showed the impact of the crash caused it to be pushed from zero miles per hour to 17.1 miles per hour in 150 milliseconds.

He also said he used aerial data footage to calculate Fields’ speed before the crash, which showed he was traveling at 23 miles per hour, which was determined by using a stationary black truck as a reference point.

The truck was parked in the area before the crash happened.

Thomas said the maximum speed Fields was driving before the crash was 28 miles per hour.

A forensic scientist said Fields was just trying to find his way back home.

Philip DePue, who works for Sensei Enterprises, testified he retrieved data from Fields’ cellphone from Aug. 12, finding two Google map searches for directions to Maumee, Ohio.

Those searches were conducted at 1:39 p.m., moments before Fields’ car hit the crowd. There were two options, both taking Fields onto Market Street instead of continuing down Fourth Street.

“It was hard for us to determine which route was taken,” said DePue. “When you request directions, it provides multiple locations.”

Okay, so he crashed at 23 mph, but he might have been going 28 mph before that. So he slowed down. And he had Google Maps open and was trying to get home.

Again: what are you supposed to believe here, if you buy the “planned terror attack” argument of the State of Virginia?

That he Google Mapped a route home as part of his alibi, so he could later do what he is doing now and plea “not guilty” in court?

He would have to really be a genius to come up with that part, I think.

And the fact that he was only traveling at 23 mph demonstrates clearly that he had no intent to kill anyone. Why would he drive at that speed? He did not speed up before the attack. If he is an actual genius terrorist, then why would he do a car crash that shouldn’t have killed anyone, and wouldn’t have killed anyone if Heather Heyer hadn’t been in such poor health?

But… it gets even dumber than that.

He also invited people to go to lunch with him right before he got in the car to perform the “attack.”

Witnesses for the defense were called to tell that story Wednesday.

CNN:

Shortly before James Fields rammed his car into counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally, he had asked some of his fellow protesters out to lunch.

Hayden Calhoun and his girlfriend declined, Calhoun testified Wednesday.

Twenty minutes later, Fields plowed into the counterprotesters, killing a 32-year-old woman and injuring more than a dozen others.

…

Calhoun said he and his girlfriend attended the rally on August 12, 2017, and spent part of the day with Fields, whom they had just met that day.

Calhoun testified that Fields was calm and seemed tired.

Under cross-examination, Calhoun testified that the only interactions he and Fields had with counterprotesters were verbal, not physical. Calhoun said counterprotesters didn’t attack them or throw anything at them.

Previously, Fields had described counterprotesters as “a violent mob of terrorists.”

…

Charlottesville Police Detective Steven Young and Calhoun’s girlfriend, Sarah Bolstad, also testified before the court took a lunch break.

Bolstad said she met Fields when they were turned away from McIntire Park by police. She testified she and Calhoun were approached by Fields and another man, who suggested they travel together as there is safety in numbers.

“I felt really comfortable with them,” she said. She added that Fields “didn’t seem angry” and “seemed normal.”

She never saw Fields during times when bottles were being thrown, she told the court.

The Calhoun couple didn’t go with Fields to lunch because one of their own mom’s was calling them to come home after having seen the spectacle on TV. Otherwise, there would have been three people in the car at the time of the crash.

Just imagine how this would have went down if they’d have been in the car – would any of these charges have ever been filed? Would they have said that all three were terrorist murderers, or would they have claimed Fields kidnapped them?

Or would we not have any charges at all, because not even shitlibs would be able to believe this goofy cartoon narrative?

Also, imagine this: you’ve got a pre-planned murderous attack on your mind, but you’re cool and calm and calmly invite some friend you met to grab lunch. What would he have said when they got in the car? “Yeah, I just gotta do a little thing first, then we’ll grab a burger”?

Again: the couple said that Fields was calm and normal acting, they did not describe him as weird (as he has been portrayed). And they indicated that they would have went to lunch with him if they didn’t have a mom calling them home. So Fields was, according to the State of Virginia, planning to commit this terrorist assault with friends he’d just met in the car beside him.

How does the prosecution argue that point, I wonder?

Do they claim that this was part of the ruse of having a false claim that this was an accident?

If this guy is that deep, on that level of psychopathic murderous genius, then explain to me the Hitler text to mom.

Surely, we are so absolutely outside of the realm of “beyond a reasonable doubt” that he has to, at this point, been declared not guilty on all counts.

It is abject lunacy and the epitome of a miscarriage of justice that this guy was ever charged with anything at all.

The Verdict Should Come Early Next Week

The defense only has one more witness to call this morning.

The jury may get the case today, or closing arguments might push it through to Friday. Either way, we should be getting a verdict early next week.

I assume the one witness will be Dwayne Dixon, the “Redneck Revolt” Antifa who bragged about threatening Fields with a rifle.

That should be interesting.

Although all we’re going to hear of it is this shit-tier MSM court reporting.

Post Script

I’ve been following this in recent days more than I had for a while, and I listened to an interview that White Boner, the guy who uploaded the “Heather Heyer not hit by a car” video, did with Mike Enoch (starts at 1 hour and 22 minutes). He said that she was actually hit by the car, and he was wrong originally, and found the truth with further examination. So I just want to insert that correction.

It does appear that she was only “side swiped” by the car, but that is enough to matter. I do still believe that the “blunt trauma” was a result of a body that size hitting the ground, as well as presumably the medics attempting to do CPR on a body that massive, trying to push through all those rolls of fat.

However, we do strive to be accurate here, and I want to personally apologize for having got it wrong that she was never hit by a car.

I should have been following these developments in the case over the last year more closely. It is simply that there is always so much going on that I miss things, given that I am tasked here with covering all the news by myself (our writers do a good job, but I am the sole editor), and sometimes things get lost. I had probably just assumed that all of this would come out during the trial, and that is happening.

And again: it is all looking really great.

I can’t imagine they’re going to convict him, but if they do, this is all setup for an appeal.

Post Post Script

I am also serious in my desire to crowdfund James Fields a brand new Challenger when he gets out, and would love to be able to do that. I think it would be a great morale booster, and give us as a movement real closure on this year and a half long nightmare.

I obviously have all of my access to payment platforms cut off, so I can’t be the one to do it, but if anyone has any ideas about how to get this done, figure that out and I’ll promote it.

Ideally, it would be waiting in his driveway when he got home with a big swastika bow on it, but that probably is not possible.

You may recall that Dwayne Dixon, an Antifa terrorist who publicly admitted on multiple occasions that he threatened James Fields with a rifle before the infamous Charlottesville crash, is being called by the defense to testify.

Richmond Times-Dispatch:

Fields’ attorneys have said the plan to call as a witness Dwayne Dixon, a professor at the University of North Carolina and a member of the loose-knit, left-leaning protest group antifa who claimed during a guest lecture at Harvard University in October 2017 to have “shooed” Fields away with his rifle shortly before the crash.

Despite the lack of evidence connecting this event to the car attack, some have taken this as proof Fields was fleeing when his vehicle struck the crowd.

Dixon is a member of “Redneck Revolt,” a Southern Antifa group.

He said on Facebook that he took “perverse pleasure” knowing that he had pointed his rifle at Fields before the crash.

“I used this rifle to chase off James Fields from our block of 4th St before he attacked the marchers to the south,” Dixon wrote, apparently indicating that he threatened him with the rifle almost immediately before the incident.

He gave a speech at Harvard talking about how he did this.

After making these two shocking public admissions, he was confronted about it like, “what did you mean by this?” and he freaked out and started threatening the guy filming him.

It’s unclear how he is going to explain all of this as being anything other than exactly what it looks like.

And what it looks like is that along with having his car attacked with bats, Fields had a guy pointing a rifle at him, meaning that he was simply trying to escape when he crashed his car and the trauma of it caused the morbidly obese monster Heather Heyer to have a heart attack.

Currently

As of this morning, the jury is still being picked for the Fields trial.

I guess they’re going to start the actual trial itself sometime next week.

It’s going to be interesting.

If Fields is let off, which he will pretty much have to be, these people are going to riot. And we haven’t had a good Antifa riot in a while. Leftist bad optics are always right-wing good optics.
