CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — The mother of a woman killed when a man rammed his car through a crowd protesting a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, is suing the convicted murderer for wrongful death.

Susan Bro filed a $12 million lawsuit Aug. 30 against 22-year-old James Alex Fields Jr., who is now serving life sentences plus 419 years on numerous convictions.

The Daily Progress reports Thursday that Bro said she doesn’t want Fields’ “blood money.” She just wants to make sure he can’t profit from selling the rights to his story or publishing a memoir.

No one deserves to be hit by a car for protesting, regardless of where they stand politically.

Weren't the ANTIFA @$$hole$ attacking his car, trying to drag him out for a beatdown, or is my memory defective?

“Weren’t the ANTIFA @$$hole$ attacking his car, trying to drag him out for a beatdown, or is my memory defective?”

Your memory is not defective, they were attacking the car. However they were not attacking the person, and I can only guess the “I felt threatened” defense didn’t work, considering his life sentence and 419 years on top of that.

I’m not a lawyer, I’m just guessing that the law does not allow that. Perhaps the vehicle was considered a weapon?

If they are attacking MY car and I am inside, how are they NOT attacking me?

Neat - not sure what this has to do with the discussion at hand, unless your you want to deflect some more. Long time lurker - do you have an issue with new blood joining? Want to ping Jim Robinson while at it?

Does that give you the right to run over a crowd of dozens?

Come on now, I thought we had better sense than that. There’s a fine line between self defense and outright murder. Remember this?

You denied being a newbie in a previous post on this very thread. Lurking doesn’t count. Plus you sound like a lefty. 2+2 really does = 4!

I’m sure I sound like whatever it is you want me to sound like, a lurker doesn’t have to count, I’m just sharing that bit of info with you.

What is your problem? I’ve said nothing offensive to you or others, just want to conversate in peace. Are you offended by that?

Yup,screw her. The crowd surrounded the car as a violent mob. I don’t condone the action but in all of the videos of these,the car driver automatically is fight or flight mode as police stand down by orders of the Democrat government. History has shown that violent mobs will murder you as seen in L.A. The judicial decision was ALL politics and Charlotte is a myth in general with the “white nationalism/Nazi” BS. Give me one liberal who gives any sh*t about Kate Steinle or the woman from Minneapolis.We keep hearing about intent by the left in this new perverse way of law. The illegal and the Muslim cop didn’t mean to murder so says the left and their defense. Did this driver? He is diagnosed mentally ill BTW. If the roles were reversed and Antifa murdered a Pro life demonstrator,the outcome would be substantially different.

...does that include the video where somebody whacked his car?

It was also my understanding that she died of a heart attack - not from critical injures from the vehicle.

I’m offended that you bring your heart into this forum to bleed all over it.

Fact of the matter is: girl was morbidly obese and smoked. She put herself in harms way and paid a price. It’s been that way since the beginning of time. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

I refuse to garner sympathy for anyone getting hurt or dying due to their selfish desire to make a whole country think the way they do. She came for violence and found it. Period.

I have not seen the lawsuit, but here are two guesses: 1) The lawyer is a SJW working on contingency, and is involved as an act of self-promotion. 2) There are additional defendants that the plaintiff hopes can be blackmailed into “settling” to avoid negative publicity. Fields’ car insurance company? “Right-wing” organizers and promoters of the protest?

The City, Terry MacAuliffe, and the State Police all had a hand in creating the circumstances that led to the death and injuries, but somehow I doubt this plaintiff is going to argue that.

Doncha know the new rules? You’re supposed to give them space to destroy, steal, rape and crush your skull. Don’t fight back cuz that’s “fascist” or something. This whole episode was left on left violence.

Thanks - I shouldn’t have a heart, I suppose. Neither should I have a brain, apparently.

Smoking and obesity had nothing to do with blunt force trauma by a car that led to her death. You don’t have to be sympathetic to anything you don’t want to, but basic human respect for the dead would be nice.

She expressed no violence as far as I can tell - why do you think she came looking for that?

No one was stealing, raping or crushing a skull when Heather was run over. Don’t be daft, please, it’s unbecoming.
