CHARLOTTESVILLE — A man accused of plowing a car into a crowd of protesters here — killing one person and leaving 19 injured — has long sympathized with Nazi views and had stood with a group of white supremacists hours before Saturday’s bloody crash.
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. During a class called “America’s Modern Wars,” Weimer said that Fields wrote a deeply researched paper about the Nazi military during World War II.

“He was a POS. Nazism is not Conservationism. If you align yourself with this White Supremacy Nazi sh*t then YOU ARE a piece of sh*t and my enemy and an enemy of the Constitution of the United States and deserve to die.”
So true. My father went across the Atlantic to fight that demon
See my post #30 showing what sort of posters this Blood and Soil group uses. These are from their own web-site.
“I doubt if he’ll be alive in two months.”
Then you are unaware of the Aryan Nation presence in prison. They are the worst of the gangs. They make the Bloods and Crips look like school kids.
Oh, okay. See it now. Oh no...this is going to be a mess.
I don’t think there’s an excuse to run people down!
I tend to think this was just another orchestrated psyops.
“...bunch of hicks wearing Klan garb going to accomplish?”
I though I had seen all published photos but I must have missed some. I never saw such.
Nazi government was strong central control, many regulations and highly disciplined population. And Hitler had absolute power. Everything about Nazism is contrary to conservatism - everything!!
It’s out there...
Question, if you’re surrounded my a mob of people with aluminum baseball bats and you hear one smash into your car are you going to get out an exchange insurance information?
This video shows him slowly approaching the crowd...
Riding the brakes... the the vehicle is struck from behind.

He reacts... and that leads to the collission.
He driver will walk.
If there are 9-11 calls of vehicles being attacked prior to the collission the Charlottesville mayor needs to go to prison.
I agree with you. What’s getting lost in the dialog is what people were protesting to begin with. Some folks are fed up with political correctness re-writing history.
A lot feels off about this story.
True - it did look like something out of a Die Hard movie.
Since his mom got him the apartment he probbly doesn’t have much of a work history.
Nor did they vote for George Bush...neonazis and David Duke have been pretty supportive of both Saddam’s Baathist Iraq and Iran or at minimum opposing war against them.
One more time: How does one get past the WaPo paywall?
When I was a kid I was infatuated with Panzer Tanks. Didn’t make me a nazi.
“Here’s an idea. Hold a discussion forum with scholars on both sides to discuss Lee’s life and the pros and cons of his image and let people make statements for or against by taking turns at a microphone.”
In today’s academic climate that would be an impossible task.
BLM types would storm the stage or prevent the debate from even happening.
I did. They looked really stupid.
Leftists waving Confederate flags attacked by Leftists waving raised fist banners. Man, it doesn’t get any stranger than that.
