Looks to me the bats come out AFTER he hits the crowd.

But check out the guys behind the car beating on it - oops!

Another video shows the vehicle being hit with a bat well up the street but you can’t tell how fast he was going or what happened before.

That’s a lot of baseball bats to suddenly appear out of nowhere... in the peaceful AntiFa crowd...

Given the large number of cell phone cameras in use, it seems like someone would have filmed more of the car's approach to the crowd. My guess: they did, and they will never release the video because it does not support the narrative.

I was trying to pause it at the beginning, it looks like his car is surrounded beforehand. The obvious question to ask is why were they armed with bats in the first place and why were they immediately used? To me it looks very much like they were attacking the car and chased it down when he drove away.

The problem for the prosecution is that Antifa had bats at all. Pretty hard to prove what he state of mind was given that evidence.

Yes. There was an earlier report which claimed a protester hit the car with a bat as it was speeding towards the crowd. However, according to the following still shot, it appeared to be a flag.

Again, this was as the car was speeding down the block towards the crowd. Reports are the guy was a fan of Adolph Hitler.

So, members of one side admired a mass murderer like Hitler, while large numbers of the other no doubt admired mass murderers like Mao tse Tung. ANTIFA is a combination anarchist - communist organization. The red and black symbol is the logo for Anarcho-syndicalism.

Anarcho-syndicalism


A common Anarcho-Syndicalist flag.

In the early 20th century, anarcho-syndicalism arose as a distinct school of thought within anarchism.[78] With greater focus on the labour movement than previous forms of anarchism, syndicalism posits radical trade unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society, democratically self-managed by the workers.

Anarcho-syndicalists seek to abolish the wage system and private ownership of the means of production, which they believe lead to class divisions. Important principles include workers' solidarity, direct action (such as general strikes and workplace recuperations), and workers' self-management. This is compatible with other branches of anarchism, and anarcho-syndicalists often subscribe to anarchist communist or collectivist anarchist economic systems.[79] Its advocates propose labour organization as a means to create the foundations of a non-hierarchical anarchist society within the current system and bring about social revolution.
