...anti-psychotic mediation....

***
Okay.

I think the stupid writer meant “anti-psychotic medication”.

Saw another video where he is first driving down the street and a guy with a bat wails his rear end. Seems he floored it then. Now your video shows after he hit the car 3 guys with bats smashing his rear window until he reverses and knocks them off. Put that together with medication and his previous nazi sympathies - he was probably afraid the crowd would kill him.

But his actions have to be reasonable under the circumstances.

He could have....
1. Backed away from the crowd
2. Gotten out of his car and run
3. Done anything other than sped up and plowed into them and another car.

You are insane to say a man fleeing a huge armed mob attacking him should spend the rest of his life in prison. At worst, this is reckless manslaughter.

So writing a paper on the German military during WWII for a history class makes you a Nazi? Must be that students who wrote about the Soviet military during the same era are communists.

Right, but public school employees have to follow strict confidentiality rules related to students as well. Surprised this former teacher blabbed about it, maybe that’s why a “former “ teacher...

The driver will be found innocent. antifa thugs attacking dodge will be arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter.

If the folks cudgeling his car on the way out cudgeled it on the way in, then the situation is different and the guy who should be in jail is the governor.

I don't know how we make heads or tails of what is coming out so far except that a lot of folks wanted to create a tragedy to blame Trump.

Now if it was a Tesla or Prius.......they would be conflicted

Which would be wrong. While electric cars suffer from the deficiency of battery capacity, instantaneous torque is awesome.

Watching the video, the collision with the other car occurs at about the 17 second mark. In three seconds or less the crowd was bashing the car with sticks or bats. There goes any possible narrative about them being unarmed.

Agreed but you are thinking of him as reasonable and mature like us. He is a young man on medication for mental problems - what was the status of that? Was he off the pills?

He wouldn't be thinking of backing up because that guy just whaled on his car with a bat and people were behind him. All around him is the left wing crowd so he wouldn't want to get out and face them alone. Perhaps what I would have done was stop, call 911 and honk "SOS" with my car horn. I would have had a weapon ready should they breach the car before the police go there. Would I have done that when I was 20? Probably not. Not sure what I would do.

Mike Wilson, principal of Fields high school, confirmed in an email to The Blade that...” Mr. Fields was a 2015 graduate and recalled he was “a quiet and reserved student.”....

So guess it depends on who was looking at Fields as to how they saw him.

Media is going to crucify this kid before the facts are ever revealed by digging up former people who knew him etc.... ‘Character assassination’ is a hallmark of the media regardless of guilt or innocence when race is involved and always will play out like Ferguson and Maryland before it’s over.

Electric cars are neck snapping fast. Wouldn’t want to be trapped on top of a defective or pierced lithium ion battery.

But where’s the noise....the roar....the smell of gasoline.?
Where’s the love??
