Shocker: Charlottesville Driver Was Obsessed with Nazism
The first hint of James Fields’s ideology has emerged, from a former teacher of his. Surprising precisely nobody, he turns out to have been a Nazi sympathizer:
The accused driver, James Alex Fields Jr., 20, of Ohio, had espoused extremist ideals at least since high school, according to Derek Weimer, a history teacher.
Weimer said that he taught Fields during his junior and senior years at Randall K. Cooper High School in Kentucky. In a class called “America’s Modern Wars,” Weimer said that Fields wrote a deeply researched paper about the Nazi military during World War II.
“It was obvious that he had this fascination with Nazism and a big idolatry of Adolf Hitler,” Weimer said. “He had white supremacist views. He really believed in that stuff.”
Weimer said that Fields’s research project into the Nazi military was well written but appeared to be a “big lovefest for the German military and the Waffen-SS.”
This deals a blow to any incipient alt-right conspiracy theory that, oh, maybe his gas pedal got stuck. Yesterday perennial alt-right defender John Cardillo — in between issuing tweets blaming the wrong person, and talking about how “the right is finally fighting back” so you have to “strap in” because it’s “going to get bumpier” — filled his Twitter timeline with theories about how this might be a false flag operation. Guess that theory is done.
Time for Cardillo and his ilk to move to Plan B: proclaim the need for Fields to be tried for murder while spending all your time denouncing Antifa.

urbanleftbehind (5eecdb) — 8/13/2017 @ 1:23 pmYes trying him for murder is a easy call, but one looks at the case of Mr. Damore and notes some things are just crimethink. You look in the judiciary and you observe 2/3 times enforcing current law is practically impossible you look at Berkeley or Yale or dartmouth, and you note intellectual liberty is a memory, whether its Shapiro or coulter or milo.

Interesting fact. The founder of the cult was a friend and schoolmate of Omar Khayyam of Rubaiyat renown.
nk (dbc370) — 8/13/2017 @ 1:41 pmIt is possible that everybody in Charlottesville over the weekend was vile, evil and responsible for the mayhem and deaths and injuries there.
The neo-Nazis are despicable an vile, racist swine.
The Anti-fa are in fact Anarchists and Marxist thugs who have engaged in violence across the nation for the past year, and are in fact, one of the few political groups as vile and dangerous as the neo-Nazis.
The mayor and police chief in Charlottesville had one job over the weekend: maintain order. It looks like they intentionally failed to do so, and allowed the Anti-fa thugs to engage in violence at will.
Once you realize the local government and law enforcement are going to stand down and let vile, evil thugs get away with assault, battery, and mayhem, there aren’t many good options remaining to the other side.
Of course, that neither justifies nor excuses ramming a car into a crowd of people. This is in fact what terrorist, murdering thugs do.
The problem is, once the government has proven they will not enforce laws and in fact will allow one group to get away with violence, other groups will respond in kind, and it will escalate.
As I have been saying, expect Berlin ala 1918/1919 and Germany 1930/1933 to erupt across the nation now and extremist groups take advantage of this to foment more chaos and violence.
Obama said he wanted to fundamentally transform the nation and he has. We are now on the brink of a very uncivil war.

Ben burn (8d4fc1) — 8/13/2017 @ 2:17 pmLike to read the kid’s paper. Col DuPuy (ret) wrote about the German military in WW II. Called it “Genius for War”. I suppose it’s good he’s dead on account of his love affair with the German military.
Richard Aubrey (0d7df4) — 8/13/2017 @ 2:21 pmThe teacher’s evaluation might be spot on, or he might be a disciple of Chomsky and Zinn and consider, say, the Declaration of Independence a fascist outline written by slaveholders. So I’d take his evaluation with a grain of salt or two until we read the paper.
That said, some people think there’s something “tough” about massacring innocent people.
To put it another way, no US soldier ever said the Germans were anything but tough, smart, well-organized and brave.
The kid’s paper should not be evidence until you read it.
And his Nazi fascination might have been his motivation to attend the rally, but in the event, he was trying to not be the next Regiinald Denny.
According to initial reports, he hit a vehicle which hit another vehicle, which is not “plowingt into a crowd”. I’m not sure where the injuries occurred. Rear ending somebody to rear end yet another is not a tactic for certainly killing bunches of people. If that’s what he did, we have a question.
Making out like they don’t know him.

Ben burn (8d4fc1) — 8/13/2017 @ 2:28 pmJeez. First video showed a rear-end followed by reversing out. As the reports said.
So the reports were correct. He hit a vehicle which hit another vehicle.
Right there on the screen. Here he comes from the right, smash, backs off.
Other than the normal shock loading to seeing such a thing, all you see is…him rear ending a vehicle.

Richard Aubrey (0d7df4) — 8/13/2017 @ 2:49 pmI know it would be cathartic and all to hang the guy, so maybe it’s okay if he’s not guilty. Prove we’re on the side of justice, so to speak.
The way I figure it, sarc tag and all, these alt-white whatevers know they’re not being heard and so they feel they have no other option but violence. To mix metaphors–Ferguson and Baltimore–they didn’t even get a space to destroy.
Anyway, they apparently weren’t violent until antifa showed up and the cops backed off. This is the dance everybody expects and knows the steps.
Then, of course, to clear ourselves and prove we’re really nice guys, honest, we want to hang this dude without actual evidence as to what was happening.
So, suppose there is evidence he was being attacked. How we going to deep- six that?
Other things that might have broken through his consciousness there was an attempted chemicaical gas attack at the innaugural festivies, organized by Robert creamer Mr schakowski, then there was the bandy show trial, a similar one in Oregon, meanwhile the blue wall gets bloodier every couple of days
narciso (d1f714) — 8/13/2017 @ 2:51 pmdo you not see him hit 20+ people before he hits the other vehicle?
Davethulhu (5d3b09) — 8/13/2017 @ 2:51 pm@12 Richard, Oh Richard! Ever-cautious and sensitive to the situation of “the other”. Of course I cannot vouch for the history teacher’s memories (or that he has never been tainted or influenced by the siren song blasphemies of Zinn or Chomsky – & thanks for stirring that particular pot, btw!). Still, the Waffen-SS has a reputation which may be slightly less hallowed than you perceive (and even among those who felt their steel, mirabile dictu!)
And poor freckle-faced Heather (that cursedly sweet but despicably (deludedly?) liberal paralegal), poor sweet foolish Heather – caught up in just a terrible accident – a misunderstanding of physics, really – and now awash w/in entropy’s most embracing embrace. Not to mention the other bully boys and girls who had the temerity to set themselves up as a challenge to a Dodge Challenger. Oy! You don’t care for videos? Well, then: Check out the photo here. (Ooof, that’s gotta sting, eh?)

Richard Aubrey (0d7df4) — 8/13/2017 @ 3:27 pmMissed the point. About the only evidence we have to his motivation is the teacher’s view of the paper. Given the influence of the left in education, I’d go 60-40 he’s screwing the pooch and figures a reasonable review of German military operations as comptent would be a “love affair”, especially if he can shaft a kid he probably didn’t much like.
So, anyway, what’s plan B if it is shown that he was being attacked? Or do you think such evidence will go to the evidence locker connected to the shredder so it won’t inconvenience the righteous desir to show the world we’re all good guys? But maybe you should have a Plan B in case the evidence gets out and justice is denied.

gary fouse (07824e) — 8/13/2017 @ 5:08 pm@23 Richard, I honestly think that I did not miss[] the point, but will content myself w/ the notion that on this we likely must content ourselves to agree to disagree. In this vein, however (and on your “About the only evidence we have to his motivation” assertion), you may want to approach the info proffered by Ben at #31. You are, of course, free to arrange your brain however you deem it convenient.
As to Plan B and Fields being attacked, I confess I am somewhat unclear what you are suggesting. “Attacked” when? After he intentionally plowed into the pedestrians and the car? I confess I am not familiar with the law in Virginia, but I suspect that one loses the right to self-defense (or that it’s radically constricted), where one is the aggressor. Then there’s the issues of proportionality & innocent 3d parties. In any event, I in no way propose that Fields should not have the benefit of rigorous and competent counsel, in the event that he is bound over and tried in a proper court. It is not for me to address the possible/impossible Plans B or C or D of Mr. Fields.

From that Nazi rag, the New York Times:
“A driver smashed into a line of cars, causing a chain reaction that that killed one person and injured at least 19 others demonstrating against a white nationalist gathering in Charlottesville, Va., on Saturday.”
“Mr. Fields was driving a Dodge Challenger “at a high rate of speed” in downtown Charlottesville at about 1:45 p.m., a spokeswoman for the city said in a statement. He drove the car into a sedan, which hit a minivan that was in front of it.
The impact of the crash pushed the sedan and the minivan into a crowd of pedestrians. Mr. Fields fled the scene in the Challenger but was stopped a short time later by the Charlottesville police.”

nk (dbc370) — 8/14/2017 @ 7:58 amMaguire wades in waist deep.
As to Appalled’s point about Trump being such a mush-mouth in condemning the neo-Nazi right:
1. I denounce the neo-Nazis. The Republican Party eventually ejected Paat Buchanan, who no one claimed was ignorant or inarticulate. WFB gave the heave-ho to the John Birchers. This has been done before and conservatives need to do it again.
2. Trump was famously forgetful about David Duke just before a Super Tuesday during the primaries.
3. That said, there is a ‘Punch in your weight class” dynamic – Trump blasting McConnell is one thing; blasting D Duke is reasonable; but blasting these nobodies? Less clear Trump ought to, because…
4. These are life’s losers. What about “Hate the sin, love the sinner”? If we (Who is ‘we’? Don’t ask, yet anyway) want to bring these guys back into the social mainstream we can’t just cast them out.
5. OTOH, there are two defensible reasons for casting them out (as with most social norms):
5A: Deter others from crossing that line;
5B: Virtue-signal your own solidarity with the group norm.
For illustrative rambling let me contrast Trump’s role with mine. I may as well virtue-signal on this because no one in my social circles is anywhere in or near the neo-Nazi line.
But Trump has a leadership role in rehabilitation as well as deterrence and self-puffery. So MAYBE his gut is telling him to play both sides of this.
6. Also annoying Trump is this asymmetry: the media and the left are pretty vague and abstract in “condemning” the antifa, the authentic voices of progressive rage.
Well. The neo-Nazis and the anti-fa need each other. Too bad various “leaders” on each side feel the same way.

Ben burn (515793) — 8/14/2017 @ 9:50 amBTW, the leftists in the media and government are doing it again. By “it” I mean playing with words and the definition of words.
Just like “global warming” became “climate change”, just like *liberal* became *progressive*, just like a right to *health insurance* became a right to *health care* and just like *antifa* communists were mislabeled *anti-fascists* they are now calling *white supremacists* *white nationalists*. It’s a trick to condition the weak minded that nationalism is Nazism which it is not. Nazism is state socialism and if you don’t believe me read Mein Kampf. But if the leftist media can convince nationalist is synonymous with Nazi then the patriotic white people become white nationalists and therefore the bad guys.
The Nazi’s and the antifa’s in Virginia are but two sides of the same ideological coin. On one side are the statist fascists and on the other the global communists. And just as the Nazi’s in WWII made war against the Stalinist communists so will our home-grown fascists and communists do battle. In the end they both want to destroy US, America. Wake up.
This is Obama’s legacy.

NJRob (7f4bec) — 8/14/2017 @ 10:20 am@131 Well, yet another guy (or gal) certainly would be justified in viewing just another guy’s observations as ignorant dangerous bollix. What do the observations miss? Jim Crow – for one (poof – unappeared); when these monuments appeared (@ 1910 – 30s cf., After the Civil War, the Union was preserved, but Southerners were allowed to honor their cause. um hum, yeah, that’s “after”, technically/misleadingly; cf., Confederate Battle Flag raised to fly over all at the South Carolina Capitol in 1961); and the fact that these decisions in recent years to remove the tributary iconographies to the traitorous, mystical & racist “Lost Cause” past have been local decisions.
After the Civil War, the Union was preserved, but Southerners were allowed to honor their cause. It was an uncomfortable compromise, but it helped limit the violence from a conflict that had claimed the lives of 2% of the population. The Taliban campaign by black nationalists to tear down Confederate memorials was a deliberate effort at shattering a compromise that kept civil society working. And that too led to Charlottesville. A “compromise” (entered into by whom, exactly? and when?) “[fashioned to] limit … violence” (oh, please, in the name of self respect if not Christian obligation . . . refrain from such falsehoods) a “Taliban[-like] campaign” by “black nationalists” (etc.) utter utter shameful bollix.[fn 1]
I find it surprising, frankly, that Rev.Hoagie® – who opined quite differently & sensibly on this topic in another recent thread – should find just another guy’s observations “worthwhile”.

Q! (267694) — 8/14/2017 @ 10:46 am[fn 1: In this regard, see, e.g., S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley (“Shortly after the removal of the Confederate flag from the South Carolina statehouse grounds, Gov. Nikki Haley told CNN’s Don Lemon that placing the flag in 2000 was a poor decision. [¶]’I think the more important part is it should have never been there,’ she said. ‘These grounds are a place that everybody should feel a part of. What I realized now more than ever is people were driving by and felt hurt and pain. No one should feel pain.'”]
The film, “Don’t Be a Sucker,” was produced by the U.S. War Department in 1943 to warn Americans against fascist language and calls on them to denounce such behavior, according to Business Insider. It was eventually released in 1947.

Like when people operate like “Taliban” and “black nationalists” there is no *shame* in pointing it out. I saw someplace they have gone as far as digging up Confederate graves and “relocating”, i.e. destroying the remains.
There comes a time to forgive the past and I think when every single person who was alive then is now dead that NOW would be the time. None of us have owned slaves. None of us fought for the Confederacy. And remember, those who did were Americans too in an age where a persons State was sovereign and was his country of origin.
I think our minds are open enough to entertain or at least hear other views and that is “worthwhile”.

And still, your response here only increases my confusion as to whether you recant and reject what you wrote just a day ago:
Compare, today’s, where you write (e.g.): Like when people operate like “Taliban” and “black nationalists” there is no *shame* in pointing it out. [Bold, added] Clearly, no moderately well educated adult can seriously equate these democratically created and acting municipal/state actors in removing monuments and tributes to traitors -slash- a detestable/defeated ideology (a de jure slaveholding society) with the Taliban. Any such analysis of such an equation (versus the facile proclamation of the equation) would fall apart upon itself at line 2 or 3. (Which is why, of course, one sees no such analyses attempted.) You wrote sensibly yesterday (above). Less . . . compellingly (let us say), today. Cheers.
(Oh. By the bye . . . I do not think there is involved in this any question (as you wrote today) about “forgiving the past”. Rather, it’s about living together, with our brothers and sisters, in the present.)
Q! (267694) — 8/14/2017 @ 12:08 pm@152 Hoagie, Hey! I really do not think that such proposals are likely to gain significant popular support, do you? I rest wholly unworried on this score.
Q! (267694) — 8/14/2017 @ 12:14 pmBut that same salesman comes back at sunset driving a black luxury SUV, Miss Haley is good to go, or so I’ve heard. Actually admire that woman a lot as one of the positives of this administration, though she might be the era’s equivalent of Jeanne Kirkpatrick in terms of what could have been.
urbanleftbehind (964cd2) — 8/14/2017 @ 12:36 pmI have not done the research so I cannot confirm the truth of these assertions, but one thing that gave me pause in the reporting yesterday was the claim that many of the statues honoring Civil War era leaders of the Confederate states were put in place during the Civil Rights era of the 1960s.
I think its a fair comment to suggest that the purpose of erecting the statutes wasn’t to “honor” leaders of the Southern States, but rather to “poke a finger in the eye” of the efforts to purge the South of its last vestiges of Jim Crow.
Historically it cannot be denied that completely separate and apart from slavery, the Southern States had a distinct culture and ethos than that which existed in the New England States. It was not improper or a mistake in the aftermath of the Civil War to allow the former Confederate States to continue to recognize and celebrate their distinct history.
But I see no public purpose in allowing to remain in place “monuments” to men that were put in place a century after those men rose to “prominence” when the ulterior motives for having done so are so pernicious, and they represent a symbol which is the subject of great friction between groups of AMERICANS.
The Lee statue in Charlottesville was completed in the 1920s, as part of a donation of land by a wealthy residence for the creation of 4 public parks, one of which was “Lee Park.”
So while it doesn’t have the direct antithetical link to the Civil Rights era of the 1960s, its not quite fair to say that it was erected in the aftermath of the Civil War to celebrate the life of Robert E. Lee.
Charlottesville survived without a monument to Robert E. Lee from 1865 to 1927. If can survive is removal now.

The great and good Thomas Sowell often noted that many black Americans are not content with equality; they want revenge, too.
That’s what all of this is about. Of course, it’s not just blacks who want every symbol of the Confederacy removed from the public square; there are plenty of guilt-ridden white libs – plus the go-along, get-along conservatives whose wussiness led to the rise of Trump – that have jumped on the bandwagon as well.
In the meantime, you can take this to the bank: once “they” have gotten rid of Robert E. Lee and Thomas Jefferson, “they” will be coming for crosses and every other public symbol of Christianity.
Deuce Frehley (7654f5) — 8/14/2017 @ 3:10 pmSo I read that there’s somebody on Twitter who is “outing” the white supremacists at Charlottesville. One marcher’s father disowned him when he saw his picture; another got fired from his job at some business in Berkeley. (Where else?)

So when we look at every major city in America and realize they all have black ghettos and they’ve all been run almost exclusively by Democrats since the 1960’s we are to assume the Democrats are therefore the friends of black people and the Republicans are now racist bastards?
I have never personally known a Republican anti black racist in my life. They may be out there but they seem hard to find.
