The license plate being removed prior to the incident makes it premeditated.

Also the part where the driver accelerates for like half a block before impact, then backs over people and flees in reverse at high speed.

I'm sure antifa are the real violent element and the poor driver was just scared for his life, though. Nothing to see here.

Lots of them weren't. Our culture has done a dumb thing of spending generations of portraying nazis as bad but also cool.

This is why the single greatest piece of anti-Nazi propaganda ever was the old British schoolyard chant

quote:

Hitler has only got one ball
Göring has got two but they're small
Himmler has something sim'lar
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all

Also in terms of Nazi reading I'd highly recommend Into that Darkness

https://www.amazon.com/Into-That-Darkness-Examination-Conscience/dp/0394710355

It basically charts one man's journey from being a small-town police officer to being Franz Stangl, Commadant at Treblinka who was eventually convicted of 900,000 murders. Rationalising his actions the whole way

Red fear is a real thing - the german conservatives were the biggest unlikely helpers of the nazis because while they thought Hitler was a loving idiot, they thought he could be a very useful idiot and when push came to shove liberals fell right and the SPD went "lol" when they could be rallying the unions to kill working class support for the nazis in the crib

The German National People's Party was especially heinous. Their platform was "everything the Nazis say except nicer".

Had the SPD reached out to the middle class instead of focusing on fending off the Communists everything would've been fine.

It doesn't work quite as well in a public place where you're in a locked car and they aren't.

Not saying it doesn't work, but just not as well. This guy's going to need a great lawyer and a terrible jury.

EDIT: and Trump's team has already hired all the really good lawyers who represent fascists in Virginia and Maryland.

Nah, DA could decline to prosecute. Or prosecute on reduced charges, like manslaughter for those who died and assault for those who were just injured instead of murder/attempted murder.

Noticing a lot of news sites reporting it as "Car slams into protesters at #Unitetheright rally" and the like. Which is technically true but also going to cause people who only read headlines to misinterpret who the victims were.
