Area Woman Gives Boastful Press Conference About Her Malicious Vandalism Charges

Supposedly she'll be charged. I foresee a short probation in her future -- not even a slap on the wrist.

She held a press conference to insist a slap on the wrist was too grave a penalty for just seeking Justice:

How did the police locate Thompson to arrest her? Once the protesters learned police were planning to make arrests, they held a press conference at the college with signs that read “Drop the charges.”

By the way, the statue she pulled down was... rather less of a pro-Confederacy monument than the historically illiterate vandals assumed.

The statue, which honored children conscripted against their will into the Confederate Army during the Civil War, stood in Durham's public square since 1924.

Let's just pull All the Statues down.

Oh wait -- bagman and fixer Terry MacAuliffe has already proposed that.

All three criminals are associated with the Worker's World Party, a communist extremist group.

But there is no alt-left. It's just a made-up word.

I noted, in my weird Elle magazine, that I unfortunately get for free, skim the political propaganda and toss in recycle bin within 24 hours. However! The fashion parade in the Sept issue, at around page 484, is hysterical. Some women, wearing $2k "down stoles" look like they are wrapped in an Oscar Meyer hotdog. I am dead serious. The rest look like they shopped at Goodwill bins during a meth episode. And, of course, there are androdgynous (sp, don't give a shite) models looking badarse.

I would cancel the free pretend fashion magazine but I like to see what is triggering them. ha.

85 Gen Lee also was not such an icon for slavery. He was offered to run the union army after Ft Sumpter, but he chose to fight to defend his own state against the "northern aggression".

Keeping slaves was a big issue for slave holders to pick their cotton, but most fought against aggressors of the north (that were vicious in burning and raping non-combatants). Most fought FOR their state and their "sovereignty" more than for keeping slaves.

and Lincoln stated he would have kept slavery if that would have won the war, and prevented secession, which was the prime motivation for Lincoln. Slavery became the most popular reason .. certainly a good cause, but perhaps could have been achieved in some better way.

93 This stuff makes me lose all faith in civilization. A pox on anyone who wants to destroy history, on anyone who plays racial identity politics, no matter what the color and on the people who believe in using violence to silence opposing political views.

I still believe in tolerance as the ideal political stance. Real tolerance, the ability to allow for dissent from what I believe in and the acceptance that there will be choices people make that I disagree with.

That said, I think we're headed towards something very, very ugly. Every week, our society becomes more disjointed, and the left pushes harder to ensure that there will be a second American Civil War. I don't want this. It will be the end of the American experiment, the dream of a pluralistic society and peace in my lifetime within these borders.

I mourn for what these people have and are taking from us, and I rage in impotence in my lack of ability to stop them from doing so.

What he wants is an issue for Ralph Northam, his AG, to run on for governor.

Now, Ed Gillespie is NOT going to give him a fight on it and likely will bid to do it even faster than McAuliffe would.

Which will also help Northam.

Those of you who live in VA can correct me, and please do as this is my limited opinion only.

I have a family member with property in VA, in a resort in the Blue Ridge. My impression is that Northern VA , as you get closer to DC, is filled with govt workers, lobbyists and their support, and industries that are reliant on government for contracts. Go out from there and the rural areas are either filled in enclaves of rich people from DC, Maryland, New York, and Philadelphia in the above mentioned resort areas($500,000 summer or ski homes) and then the little towns and hamlets are filled with some of the poorest rural folk you'll meet outside of Alabama.

Head to Richmond, and it's a repeat of Govt, Military and it's dependent industries.

Virginia Hunt country( fox hunting for the horsey set) is also extremely high priced and full of transient wealthy land owners who spring and fall there before heading to Florida for the winter (or Scottsdale) and summer in the Hamptons.

The Workers World Party has part of it's manifesto the destruction of all forms of art, specifically naming statues, and replacing them with meaningless shapes.

The goal of all these seemingly unrelated groups is the same Soros one world, open borders, communist agenda. Don't for a minute think it is anything else.

These are mindless lemmings. They are dispendable by their masters. What they do not realize is that they are a slave to their "leaders" who lead back to hashtag resist and Soros, who pay bounties for violence.

Funny you should bring this up. For some reason, I received a magazine sampler, and one of the magazines I was receiving for a time was GQ (formerly Gentleman's Quarterly, although it was monthly). I remembered it from 1980s decades past as a men's magazine that had the theme of dressing dapper and suave and debonair, but still manly, a la the character James Bond. Not realistic, of course, but something a normal man would actually want to read.

Now? Perfumed ads, Keith Olberdouche politics, and the implication that every man should be pegged or a poofter. Ack!

211 Not exactly sarcasm, Insomniac. I've been praying that God will show mercy and find a way out of this mess.

Our country is being ripped apart and I'm feeling hopeless.

ALH-That's what you should do when you feel hopeless-pray more. It center you in the energy and love of God. Just to sit in God's presence and not say anything can be energizing.

When you're up against a wall-the only things you can do are to give up or walk though it. Impossible? Jesus walked through a wall in the Upper room and it transformed the lives of the disciples

Joni Tada Eareckson says in order to gain a hopeful spirit we should read the Bible more and place our hopeless circumstances in his hands Remind yourself of the things God has done in your life and in the world Psalm 42:5-6. Take problems one day at a time and also do things that give you joy every day-even if its only to take a walk in the sunshine.

It's a very difficult time, but I hope it will encourage people of faith to pray more,

213 "Cover picture of angry DJT and caption: 'Hey some white nationalists are very fine people' when of course he was referring to the broad group of
those who protest taking down all Confederate monuments."

You can see General Kelly in the background looking incredibly downcast. All this push to get the White House operation to consistently stay on message, and here's Trump at a press conference meant to go over "infrastructure" as the day's topic, instead taking the enemedia's dangled bait on C-ville.

Trump, even if he simply could not stop himself from taking the bait, might well have stuck to basic classic conservative themes about prompt, competent law enforcement. And noting that Democrats were neither prompt nor competent in their use of policing.

-- Posit that the crowd-car incident should never have even been allowed to happen in the first place.

-- Point out that if Democratic officials Governor McAuliffe and Mayor Signer had used police resources properly, the demonstrators and counterdemonstrators would have been strongly separated by tough cordons to prevent violent clashes.

-- Observe that there was a specific agreement in place for just such cordoning to be performed, which was then overridden and reneged upon by the Democratic mayor and governor.

-- Note that guys like Fields should have been firmly escorted by cops out of the city, while tensions were still running high and streets were still impassable within the city limits.

And NOW the cops make an arrest? Of course the mob thought they would get away with it. They did so many times before. They will now too.

Nope. As RWR said America is the last hope. Take down America and half the world dies of starvation and the rest goes back 2000 years in technology.

Iran would already have a nuclear bomb if slaves could build one. USSR nuclear bomb might as well have been build by communist who had infiltrated the Manhattan project. No evidence USSR could have built said bombs without the help of US traitors. Funny that Bill Clinton was selling nuclear secrets to China. I would guess that China used the same techniques to build their earlier bombs.

Murder in the first degree that falls under (c) above does not require premeditation, willfulness, or a deliberate character.

Anyway, I've long been a derided, persecuted, mistreated poster boy for the position that there will be no civil war in the US (OK, just kidding about the first part). Don't see that changing.

Real question is can anything be done, quickly, to apply a tourniquet, and then replace enough of the GOP that sanity again has at least a presence in govt. circles.

332 @213 torquewrench is right. But that would have been a thougthful scripted response. What Trump did wasn't planned for. The questions came, and he couldn't stop himself.

Based on experience, in a few days most will reluctantly agree that Trump was mostly right.

The comment "there were many fine people on both sides," maybe not so much.

Compare that to calls by MSM and the GOPe for sedition. Literally at the time Trump and his generals appear to have won the Second Korean War without firing a shot.

342 This whole Charlottesville incident, as misreported, irrelevant and faked-up as it may be, could very well be the End of America.

One of my closest friends just sent out this mass email, to me and everyone else she knows:

"What's happening in Charlottesville is because white folks haven't faced our history.

I know I have friends who voted for Trump. Guess what? You are explicitly endorsing racism by supporting him -- or even just by staying silent. You are a racist. Period. Please unfriend me and save me the bother. If you voted for him I never want to speak to you again. I've got Nazis to fight.

Trump voters lie about who they voted for. They're out there. More than 37,000 people in SF voted for him.

If you are one of them, and are lying to my face, or even just remain silent about the subject, then you are my enemy, not my friend. No more. This is my line in the sand. Fuck you. Fuck off and die."

I have known this person for 25 years. Until today, she has been fairly normal and friendly.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

If you plow a car into a crowd, and someone dies as a result of that act, you can be charged with 2d degree murder in Virginia whether you are a Nazi or not. As I quoted from the law, premeditation is not required.

Virginia does not really have a statute on manslaughter - it does have guidance. Potentially the state could charge with voluntary manslaughter based on a heat of the moment action - and it may be what he pleads to.

407 I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.

If you plow a car into a crowd, and someone dies as a result of that act, you can be charged with 2d degree murder in Virginia whether you are a Nazi or not. As I quoted from the law, premeditation is not required.

Virginia does not really have a statute on manslaughter - it does have guidance. Potentially the state could charge with voluntary manslaughter based on a heat of the moment action - and it may be what he pleads to.

I couldn't care less about the charge itself.

I don't know the specifics, but you can either say nothing. Or if she pushes, say you love her too much to discuss politics currently b/c they are too heated. And if she wants to cut you off, u can say if she ever changes her mind about you, you'd love to be in touch. Don't make changing mind about politics be the basis.

of, the other vehicle, and he would murder her by using the front of the
targeted car?"

Death by billiard physics! And, while applying the brakes as he approached. Decelerating into the purportedly murderously intended impact instead of accelerating.

As I said in a different context a few weeks ago, "Man! This has got to be the worst evil plot ever!"

Put me down with those who reason thus: that Fields was counting on people in front of him in the street to scatter to the sides as his car approached. Intimidating them out of his way. To let him escape from the hostile crowd members he'd already passed by who had attacked his car as he did so.

What Fields didn't realize was that the density of the crowd increased sharply further on down the street, as it did, and that there were stopped vehicles concealed within the press of bodies.

A choke point at the intersection. Suddenly the people in front of Fields weren't moving out of his way as he had expected. He panic braked. Too late. Impact with crowd and cars.

A very good question. There won't be a civil war for many reasons.

1. There aren't enough people willing to fight and kill for it to qualify as war, and I don't expect that to change.

2. There is no new or different injustice happening to millions of people to cause them to rise up in violence. Take BLM. They can make a better case than white college students about oppression (in error, but that doesn't matter) and yet only a tiny percentage of blacks have any interest in joining up and doing violence.

3. There is no overriding issue driving this. There are disparate groups of gripers who aren't true allies.

Gotta go for a while but that's sort of my take. No war, not even close.

Odd that. Sam Marcy, the guy who founded the WWP back in the '50s, was a strong advocate for college students using violence and direct action to create turmoil.

This was a big reason for a lot of what happened on college campuses back in the '60s and now it's back again thanks to Obama.

What eventually stopped it was that most normal people finally had enough of it and started demanding the authorities start cracking down. Until that happens I don't see this slowing down.

My 25-year-old daughter knows (of course) that I'm conservative. She also knows I'm a straight-ticket voting Republican who always votes for the nominee of my party. She and her husband are vegans, now. They recently attended an 'anti-racism' rally in support of those assholes in Charlottesville.

She isn't talking to me or returning messages or calls. It doesn't take a big intuitive leap to figure out why. And it grieves me, as you might imagine, but as much as I love her I won't repudiate my beliefs or make some show of remorse or slam the president.

I'll wait and hope she eventually comes around but I absolutely refuse to apologize for who I am.

the "alt-right", whatever it began as, has become a strange, perverted ideological dumpster fire that bears no resemblance whatsoever to "the right" in America.

However, the "alt-left", by which I assume is meant antifa/black bloc/occupy factions, quite frankly IS the left. There's nothing "alt" about it.

I welcome these developments. All it does is goad the normal schmucks who vote Democrat, out of laziness or ignorance or whatever, to re-evaluate their political alignment.

"Do I really want to be on the same team as these bastards?" Especially when the political leaders of the party seem not just to tolerate, but to actively celebrate, their barbarism.

When the Democrats lose their base of sane, normal voters, and the Republicans lose their base of sane, normal voters, I think we'll begin to see something resembling "normalcy" in this country once again.

A conservative party, and a progressive party. As it should be.

My thought is - there hasn't really been time for humans to evolve in between the 1940's and now, so we are prone to make the same mistakes. No doubt, OM would accuse me of being at fault in my presuppositions, and maybe he's right. But given what's happening, I think I'm right.

You have to understand how the left works.

No one individual is going to enact all levels of the "harming" -- it just happens organically. That way, they don't feel guilty for their role. (This is by design, BTW.)

Here's how it would happen:

I reveal, for example, to my sister-in-law that I voted for Trump. Now, she herself would not physically attack me. Nor would she even directly ask someone else to physically attack me. But what would happen is this:

She would mention to a friend or colleague of my political leanings. And that person is just a bit more amoral and unhinged, and so mentions it to another person, who's even more amoral and unhinged, and so posts the info online, where some random Antifa sympathizer sees it, and then tells them about me, and then they spring into action and physically endanger me.

The person back at the beginning of the chain (my sister-in-law) is ultimately responsible for what happened, but she feels no guilt, and is probably even unaware of her level of responsibility.

It's a "group effort." That's the problem.

There's something very Coolidge-esque about that.

"I had to live in the White House for a while to do my job, but it was never my Home", to paraphrase.

615 You have to understand how the left works.

No one individual is going to enact all levels of the "harming" -- it just happens organically. That way, they don't feel guilty for their role. (This is by design, BTW.)

Here's how it would happen:

I reveal, for example, to my sister-in-law that I voted for Trump. Now, she herself would not physically attack me. Nor would she even directly ask someone else to physically attack me. But what would happen is this:

She would mention to a friend or colleague of my political leanings. And that person is just a bit more amoral and unhinged, and so mentions it to another person, who's even more amoral and unhinged, and so posts the info online, where some random Antifa sympathizer sees it, and then tells them about me, and then they spring into action and physically endanger me.

The person back at the beginning of the chain (my sister-in-law) is ultimately responsible for what happened, but she feels no guilt, and is probably even unaware of her level of responsibility.

It's a "group effort." That's the problem.

It's hard to tell.

The raw footage makes it look like he barrels into the crowd at 20 miles an hour.

But I thought that the annotated video was pretty convincing. (He's slowing down to a stop; somebody whacks his taillight with a stick or bat; and then presumably he guns it and accelerates into the mass of people.)

There are also photos of the car with its brake lights on before he's hit anybody:

Tyler Cowen:
"Yes."

Dave Barry:
"Guy's funny; the guy is a funny, funny writer. You know? I don't always agree with him, but he's funny; he's really good. And he's viciously, um, anti-left."

Tyler Cowen:
"Yes."

Dave Barry:

Who does the scheduling for a VIP's overseas visit? The Embassy. Which means that a State Department career Foreign Service Officer makes up the schedule. It has to be approved by the desk officer of the geographic region (EUR, NE, LA, etc) but essentially, it's the FSO in the field who is making the itinerary. And 95% of these people are left, left wing. So yes, you are probably correct that the Bonn officer in charge of the visit did that to screw Reagan over. And the DCM (deputy chief of mission) let him get away with it.

They would punch you and call you a Nazi if they could (and they will), so they attack the actual Nazi, gin up support for punching Nazis, and by default, MAKE VIOLENCE IN RESPONSE TO PROTECTED SPEECH THE NEW NORMAL. I capitalized that because that's what going on, all the rest is hussafudge.

B. Indeed we absolutely must destroy the entire city of Washington because it is named after a slave owner.

C. Then we need to destroy the entire state of Washington because it is named also after a slaveowner.

D. Then we can destroy Jackson Mississippi. and probably a host of other cities and places for similar reasons.

E. Then we can destroy Virginia because it was the leading slave state at the time of Revolution, and then New York and New York City because it was the second leading slave state. Alabama and Mississippi you're next.
