Jury Recommends Sentencing James Fields, Jr. To Life In Prison

I don’t have much to say about this.

We learned at the trial that James Fields, Jr. was trying to leave Charlottesville like Alex Ramos, Daniel Borden, Tyler Davis and Richard Preston. He set his GPS to Maumee, OH three minutes before the crash. Fields was prevented from leaving Charlottesville because he got scared and made a poor decision when he was intercepted by a violent Antifa mob. The same was true of Richard Preston who fired a warning shot with his gun AFTER Corey Long attacked UTR attendees with a flamethrower.

This was the same violent mob which after UTR chased NSM members through downtown Charlottesville, attacked American Warrior Revolution behind the Sultan Kebab restaurant, attacked multiple vehicles including a League of the South van trying to leave Charlottesville and stalked and ambushed UTR attendees trying to return to their vehicles at the Market Street Parking Garage. It was presented at the trial though as a “joyful” crowd which just happened to be armed with baseball bats.

What did we expect to happen though? This is the same city where police officers deliberately stood down in order to precipitate a violent collision at UTR. This is the same city where the guy who punched Kessler was fined one dollar. This is the same city which let DeAndre Harris walk free after assaulting Harold Crews with a mag lite on video in front of the police department. This is the same city which sentenced Corey Long to 20 days in prison and Jacob Goodwin to 10 years in prison.

Charlottesville is a modern version of sundown town where political violence is winked at by the authorities. Antifa have a blank check to attack anyone who goes there.

A jury in Charlottesville, Virginia, has recommended white nationalist James Fields serve the rest of his life in prison – plus 419 years – for murdering a woman after a “Unite the Right” rally last year. https://t.co/w1hNyl8zuV

What an absurd political lynching.
You have serial killers who receive lighter punishments than life plus 400 years.

The US Legal is a sham, totally corrupted by liberal politics. pic.twitter.com/lHHRAcFgUI
