Alleged driver of car that plowed into Charlottesville crowd was a Nazi sympathizer,

Re: Alleged driver of car that plowed into Charlottesville crowd was a Nazi sympathiz


He probably wasn't trying to effect political change, but he might have been trying to intimidate people he considered to be enemies of his cause. That would make it terrorism. I agree with those who say that we have to wait and see what his motive is.

A Nazi running over leftist protesters is a political as well as a criminal act. The use of violence for political ends. Terrorism
 
Re: Alleged driver of car that plowed into Charlottesville crowd was a Nazi sympathiz


I'm going to disagree on the terrorism part.

The definition of terrorism has expanded to include a lot of other violent activities.

Bombing occupying soldiers for instance is commonly called terrorism.

It is not. It is asymmetrical warfare.

The original definition of terrorism is acts that are done specifically to frighten a population into pressuring its government to change its policies due to that fear.

I don't see how he thought his actions were going to do anything but the opposite of what he would like to see. We're not going to expel all the minorities to make people like him stop driving cars into crowds.

The 911 terrorists DID get us to change our ways in response. Which is a win for them, by the way.

So politically inspired murder. Perhaps an act of war by an unlawful combatant.

But not terrorism by any reasonable definition.

So it's terrorism when a Muslim does it in London or Paris, but not when a white Nazi does it in Charlottevile. OK.

Motive is the key for terrorism or a 'hate crime'. Does your alleged "terrorist" proudly claim that was his intent?

He does not have to. Robbers do not have to tell us that they did it for the money in order for us to know that they did it for the money

OK, but do all killers that ran over folks become terrorists?

Off the top of my head, I cannot say how many of the Nazis who deliberately ran into a crowd of anti-Nazis did it for political reasons.

Actually, I can. Every single one of them, because this guy is the only one.

Oddly enough, you may have provided the perfect Nazi defense strategy. A lone Nazi, surrounded by a crowd of angry anti-Nazis, after having his windshield smashed then panicked out of fear for his life remembering the fate of Reginald Denny.

No need for that, just mandate the 'reasonable restrictions' of licensing, registration and insurance and cars will cease to be used by criminals - oh wait...

What about Nice? It's 300 miles further away from London than Paris, which were the places I mentioned.
 
Re: Alleged driver of car that plowed into Charlottesville crowd was a Nazi sympathiz


That's a reasonable argument. I may not agree with it completely. But, it is reasonable.
