******************************************************
Why was he booted from the Army after only 3 months and 3 weeks, at age 18?

...His eyes remind me of the Muslim Ft. Hood shooter.

...I see that many of the comments here are defending his actions by saying the crowd was throwing things at his car. Earlier reports I heard on the radio said his car was speeding toward the crowd BEFORE they began throwing things.

Violence broke out amongst antifa members and the alt-right members of the march.

Violence broke out between militant Communists and purported Klansmen and NAZIs neither of which have candidates or delegates in these United States.

Pretty good rundown on the young man. Meanwhile, the search continues for any information on the former President’s birth, childhood, college years, and personal life.

Why would you omit the fact that he is apparently a white supremacist?
