Tech reporter for The Hill​ Taylor Lorenz reports that police believe the suspect didn’t intentionally mow down protesters out of malice intent. Lorenz reports that authorities believe that the suspect acted out of fear as protesters swarmed the vehicle, some allegedly acting violent.

James Alex Fields Jr: Full Story & Must-See Details
 
Fields is a veteran of the Army and registered Republican.

There are reports that he is claiming that leftist protesters swarmed his car and became scared for his own safety and panicked.

That fits with the fact in multiple videos one can see objects being thrown at the vehicle prior to the incident..

yeah - getting some trash thrown at your car is a good defense for vehicular homicide. :doh:roll:
 
Gonna wait until I watch the videos myself to draw any conclusions about Mr. Fields. If I have the stomach to watch them.

Doesn't look like a car swarmed by protesters prior to 'accident.'

Do you have a link to that video?
 
Weirdest excuse ever. So the driver ran over protesters in self defense? Why didn't he just drive away?

Right? And he drives practically a whole block into a large mob of protesters... to get away from a mob of protesters (which doesn't seem to exist in the video)? Dumb defense is dumb.

That looks really bad, that looks like intentional driving at demonstrators. He had no problem backing up after he had rammed all those people, why not back up before ramming all those people.

But as ever, innocent until proven otherwise but as said, this does not look like fear but it reeks of homicidal tendencies.
 
Maybe if this 20 year old was a senile 80 year old man I'd buy this defense.
 
Could be.


He actually ran into stopped or parked cars before he backed up. If he was looking to target protesters why would he run into some then run into stopped cars. He could have chosen better targets and hitting the stopped cars is consistent with a panicked driver.

Oh stop it. He clearly shows, at best, complete disregard the lives of the people he slammed into, and then goes speeding away in reverse. Defending this is just sick.
 
I got it on good authority that Cons and people on the right NEVER, ever commit violence. It's always only people on the Left who are violent. I've read that here daily. So it must be true.
 
Maybe this kid Fields was told about a famous Florida case and how the killer walked in that one because he too was afraid for his life?

As far as I'm concerned there is no way to get around that video. It literally shows him on a nearly empty road charging towards a group of protesters that are at least 30 feet away.
