Was the Charlottesville "attack" self defense?
0 2017-08-17 by shortadamlewis
First let me say that I have no proof of this, just a sneaking suspicion. I do not condone the KKK/White Supremacists/ Antifa/Neo-Confederates, etc. I am posting this on the conspiracy forum for a reason, it is a conspiracy.
So, many on this site have pointed out that the police were told to stand down multiple times in Charlottesville, and that the 2 groups were permitted to stage about a third of a mile apart, with no wall of police between them (bad idea).
Lets say that you are the KKK, a neo-confederate, a goose stepping Nazi. Somebody you really hate. Lets say you go push your BS, maybe even rough up a few people, and count yourself lucky that you are not arrested. Lets say you get into your car to head home, and as you are leaving a line of Antifa cross your path, recognize you, and start to beat your car with baseball bats. You, as a piece of shit, but a piece of shit who is in legitimate fear for your life panic, and try to get out of the situation. Your car is repeatedly beaten, you see an empty street as you are chased, and you try to flee, only to have your path blocked. You are fearful for your life and try to ram through the group. You injure a bunch of people and kill someone. You then find another way out, and are ultimately arrested.
This is still an unacceptable course of action, but is a far cry from deliberately trying to mow down a group of people. I believe that if this was pre-meditated and an actual terrorist attack, he would have killed far more people. If I'm not mistaken, assuming this is terrorism, this idiot will have the lowest kill count of any terrorist vehicular attack.
I think if he were actually just trying to kill a bunch of people, he would have aimed for just a crowd of people, not a crowd of people and cars. If I am not mistaken, people usually get out and try to shoot/stab people to when they do this. I just saw the guy panic and try to get away.
How did this guys car get damaged before he ran into the crowd if this was a straight up terrorist attack?
I know this is a controversial statement, but I thought I'd put it here to see if anyone had the same thought.
Once again, let me say that the KKK/Antifa/White Supremacists/ neo-nazis are bad people... who all have the right to their (ignorant) free speech and dangerous ideas.

There's no evidence anyone attacked his car prior to him driving into the crowd.
1 seanr9ne 2017-08-17
Given, this was just moments before the collision with the crowd, but there is evidence of his car being struck before. From the videos it seems like he already had some speed going before that though, so I can't say I really think it was 100% self-defense.
From the video, guy swings at it around 3-4 seconds
1 campus_dweller 2017-08-17
Both of those are from after the dude starts accelerating into the crowd. You can see people diving out of the way. Everybody is either running like hell or fighting back, a perfectly reasonable set of responses to a car accelerating toward you.
1 seanr9ne 2017-08-17
And he appears to accelerate even more moments before the actual impact.
1 dangler89 2017-08-17
Really? I believe there are pictures of the back of his car with pre-existing damage (from when who knows) and there is a video on RT (maybe) that seems to show a protestor wielding a bat or something similar striking his vehicle. Having said that, those would still be a weak case for self-defense.
1 campus_dweller 2017-08-17
Feel free to cite either.
1 campus_dweller 2017-08-17
Still waiting, btw.

This is a video addressing it. It may not be the case... https://youtu.be/BqWi6GpNHOA
1 campus_dweller 2017-08-17
You can see the car accelerating into the crowd and people diving out of the way prior to anyone striking the car. The attack is already underway when that video begins.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
Yes. He will be exonerated in court.
1 I_Am_Teach 2017-08-17
This is an absolute lie.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
No, it's not.
1 I_Am_Teach 2017-08-17
Yes it is. I'm not going to argue with you about it. Facts are facts. When that guy took a swing with the pole at the back of the killers car, the killer was already speeding into the crowd causing people to jump out of the way. The connection with the civilian hitting the back of the car with a pole and the driver hitting bodies is less than one second. I can understand a conspiracy about who the driver was/someone coercing him/etc, etc. But the whole "he was scared!" theory is a lie and provably false.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
Nah, you're wrong. They attacked him long before that video. How do you think his car got so messed up prior to the video?
1 I_Am_Teach 2017-08-17
Proof.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
Look at the video. The car's been through hell.
1 I_Am_Teach 2017-08-17
No. The video shows 1 guy hit the bottom left of the car as it is ALREADY speeding into the crowd and people are dodging out of the way. You'll need better proof. Keep going.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
You are a liar.
1 I_Am_Teach 2017-08-17
Holy fuck you're comical, lol. Please, provide a video and a time stamp that shows his car getting beat to shit like you claim.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
Look at the car from the beginning of the video until he bumps into the people. You can't unintentionally miss it.
1 I_Am_Teach 2017-08-17
Lmao you fucking said "bumped". Now I know you're just trolling. Have a good night!
1 Etoiles_mortant 2017-08-17
After all, people in their early 20s that drive cars with racing stripes are renown for having spotless cars without small bumps and scratches of any kind, right?
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
Smashed in end constitues just bumps and scratches? That's a new one.
1 Etoiles_mortant 2017-08-17
So, since you are so sure, please provide us with pictures of the car before being damaged and after.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
Look at the car before he hits the crowd.
1 Etoiles_mortant 2017-08-17
Let me repeat myself: BEFORE and AFTER. You state that the antifas damaged the car. That means that you either have a picture of someone actively doing it before the car started to accelerate, or you have pictures of how the car was before and after the rallies (someone might argue that the damaged happened another way, but I am willng to accept it).
We are waiting.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
You can see the damage plain as day in the video. You can pretend it's not there all you like.
1 Etoiles_mortant 2017-08-17
Please link the video of the antifas attacking the car.
1 shortadamlewis 2017-08-17
Antifa would never publish that. It destroys their sick narrative.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
The car has been smashed before he drives into the pedestrians. It's clear as day in the main video everyone's seen.
1 Etoiles_mortant 2017-08-17
Oh boy you are in for a surprise. He is flirting with the death penalty.
1 shortadamlewis 2017-08-17
Innocent or guilty, this man will not get a fair trial. Too much is riding on the current narrative.
1 Etoiles_mortant 2017-08-17
Yeah definitely. I could see a similar unknown case being judged on its merits and going either way, but in this scenario as soon as the prosecution states that he was in a "Nazi" rally and that he didn't seek police help or stop after the alleged "self defense", the jurors will hang him without a second thought. They have already made up their minds, they just need a bump in confidence so they feel justified in their opinion.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
Yup. Imagine what will happen when he's exonerated.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
You'll see.
1 turk_febuary 2017-08-17
This guy disabled his airbag so it would get in his way as he was mowing people down. You're a sick person.
1 shortadamlewis 2017-08-17
Proof/reference?
I am open to a refute and would like my theory disproven.
1 turk_febuary 2017-08-17
I didn't see airbag deploy in any of the videos or pictures. The reason more people didn't die was because there was a car just a few people deep in the crowd that he couldn't see and hit. That messed up his plan.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-17
Pretty sure you cannot disable driver side airbag.
1 turk_febuary 2017-08-17
The airbag didn't deploy in a crash where I'm pretty sure any airbag would deploy. Either he disabled or removed it. It may not be as easy as disabling the passenger side, but it must be possible.
1 Putin_loves_cats 2017-08-17
Correct, it must of been removed. That could give more validity to it possibly being a false flag.

1 campus_dweller 2017-08-17
Care to provide any evidence that his car was attacked prior to driving into the crowd? You guys never seem to have any compelling evidence when asked, just claims said evidence exists.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
Look at the car. You guys intentionally ignore the obvious evidence when it's right in front of your nose.
1 campus_dweller 2017-08-17
Care to point out anyone attacking the car prior to accelerating into the crowd?
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
Yes. Common sense.
1 campus_dweller 2017-08-17
So, no evidence. Good to know.
1 ConspiracyAccount 2017-08-17
Where are all the videos prior to the crash?
1 campus_dweller 2017-08-17
Someone with common sense asks for evidence of something before they believe it.

Hey! Hope you've been well.
Well, it's been a month and what has come out so far is that she was grotesquely obese and had actually died of a heart attack. Let's see what else surfaces in time.

in this video you can hear people screaming in horror, see people reacting by starting to record with their phones, and hear his tires screech from acceleration well before that dumbass taps his bumper with the bat. in fact, one could argue that bumper tap was some kind of knee jerk response to this obvious aggression by acceleration.
looks like this moron didnt account for any other cars being in the crowd to prevent him to continue to accelerate.

care to share your insights about how these two cases are related and the former could possibly justify this latest case?
1 shortadamlewis 2017-08-17
You literally just asked, i wonder if theres any other recorded moments where a driver felt it was necessary to drive a heavy metal object through a crowd to save his/her life?
I am saying that this may be a recorded moment where a driver felt it was necessary to drive a heavy metal object through a crowd to save his/her life.
Lets say the driver was attacked before he rammed the crowd, and you could see he was visibly in fear for his life. How many people would it be okay for him to mow down to save his own? This is 100% related if my initial conspiracy is correct.
1 neverberniednc2016 2017-08-17
i did, and then i asked you to share your insights because im trying to start a discussion here. you’ve posted a very respectful and inviting discussion about this topic which was most welcome due to many others being full of drivel and name calling on both sides.
my intent in asking these questions is to better understand your theory, which i am doing with an open mind. i do have my own opinion on the subject, such as the video i posted with the description of the events as i saw them. these questions might make you uncomfortable, but im attempting to help you elaborate more on your take on this by asking those critical thinking type questions.
1 shortadamlewis 2017-08-17
If there were evidence, do you think the Antifa thugs would publish it? Take a look at this short video from Charlotesville, where Antifa sucker punches someone with no provocation, and then an entire crowd tries to convince the cops Antifa sucker punched someone in self defense. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/antifa-gets-instant-karma-after-punching-complete-stranger/85440303/
1 campus_dweller 2017-08-17
Is your point here that the car might have been attacked first, but all evidence of that being the case was "suppressed" by Antifa?
Because that sounds pretty goofy.
1 neverberniednc2016 2017-08-17
With the supposed absence of evidence we can only speculate with no certainty. the only evidence ive seen of him being threatened was when someone hit his bumper as he was driving into the crowd.
let me ask you though, why was he driving down that street to begin with? There are videos of the incident from a birds-eye view thanks to drone footage, and it clearly shows that the intersection was really the only place where that crowd was.
Why would this guy drive on a street that clearly has a crowd that you can see blocks away? Why didnt he just head down another street to get around it? Could it be safe to assume at the very least he drove down this street with the idea of anatagonizing the protestors that he disagreed with?
