The DOJ has no need to waste federal tax dollars for an investigation into this incident. The state of Virginia is perfectly capable of prosecuting the person who did this.
I am sick of the DOJ getting involved in cases like this. Let the states handle their crimes and criminals.
I also think it is way too early to label this terrorism. Let us see what his background is. If he has any overt political ideology or ideas. Any writings... If it went down as described, I think he is just a crazy SOB who was pissed off at a bunch of piss bomb throwing and screaming lunatics. Murder, attempted murder....criminal.
From what I read, the perp drove his car into a mob of people, and the woman he killed was just crossing the street and not part of the violence going on the streets.
This incident seems no different than the driver of a truck mowing down civilians in Nice, France. If true, it is terrorism by any definition.
As far as the Justice Dept getting involved under leadership of AG Sessions, I believe they will conduct a better and balanced investigation than Virginia authorities.
Under Obama, the DOJ and Fedzilla would mediate these “incidents” with predictable results...Feds dictating community building policies for the cops involved, the aggrieved parties of the correct political persuasion receiving funding to organize and make their voices heard.
In English, neuter local law enforcement, and fund liberal voter mills with taxpayer dough.
Sessions can hardly do worse, and in a best case scenario, could actually ensure that justice, rather than partisan politics at any level, is done.
