Nazi Guy Getting Attack With Baseball Bats First
I know you guys aren't going to like this, but this video clearly shows the white supremacist/Nazi sympathizer being attacked with baseball bats prior to running over those people. There have also been reports of rocks being thrown at his car.
Virginia's self defense laws provide that a non-aggressor is justified in using force against another person if (1) he reasonably believes (2) that the force is necessary (3) to protect himself from imminent use of unlawful force by the other person.
Although not codified by statute, Virginia case law supports a version of the castle doctrine, providing that under certain circumstances, a person may use deadly force against someone entering his home.
Virginia also has a "no retreat" or more commonly know as a "stand your ground" law, which means you are not required to "retreat", in other words try to escape, prior to using self defense, under certain circumstances.
Self defense can provide a legal basis as a defense in cases, in part, involving:
Murder
Assault and Battery
Malicious Wounding
Unlawful Wounding
He is clearly not an aggressor in this video. It is certainly reasonable for him to assume he is in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm. No way is he going to get convicted of involuntary manslaughter.
Can you imagine the riots after there is a not guilty verdict? FWI, I in no way condone this guys beliefs. I just wanted you to see what actually happened. People are actually calling this guy a terrorist on the news, and that's all they are going to remember. Add to that the racial component. This won't be pretty.

"Clearly" in some of the Shakiest, blurriest, potato gif

Well if you are going to go out there and threaten people for being black you shouldn't be so scared of some rocks and bats.
Dvicemuse
Didn't this happen in south Carolina not Virginia?
TaviRus
So if he isn't proven guilty, does he have the opportunity of massive defamation lawsuits against all the news calling him a terrorist?
TOOFATTOWIPE
Hitting Nazi's with bats and fists is an American past time! End of story.

He accelerated through a crowd of people. Clearly intentional and malicious. He did not do it because he was afraid of a baseball bat.

My point is that his actions were legal and he will be acquitted, and the resulting shit storm is going to be huge. /2

I didn't post this with any regard to his intent. He may very well have wanted to kill that person an injure the rest. /1
jackieisnotmyname
Can you stop double posting? No one gives a fuck his actions arent justified and hes still a piece of shit at the end of the day.

I edited a spelling error and posted it again.

Here's an angle from the back. You can see them smashing out his back window with base ball bats.

This shows nothing of what happened before though
DrKillebrew
agreed. I wonder if any footage will come out of the lead up to this.
BUTFOXNEWSSSSSSS
This is called using logic. Does not work on the ignorant community of Imgur. It's pointless trying to teach these clowns anything.
Safegyde
I wholeheartedly agree.

i found the nazi

Out of interest, if you don't like the 'community' why do you visit?
BUTFOXNEWSSSSSSS
You kids fascinate me with your level of ignorance. Not here to boost my self esteem through fake internet points like you losers.
JeremyBeadlesStrongerHand
Are you the same guy with the 'YOUAREALLSOPATHETIC' accounts? You seem to have a lot of the same pitiful traits.
Nevibynature
Says the guy who made an imgur account just to troll people
BUTFOXNEWSSSSSSS
You kids refer to any and everyone that has an opinion that differs from yours a "troll". Completely stripped the word of all meaning it had
DrKillebrew
so does the guy hitting the car driving at a crowd have a right to defend himself or to hit the car to try to stop the perceived attack?

By hitting the back of the car?
DrKillebrew
I just mean this guy's post is shit. also, if he did drive through people to get away from a bat then he's a pussy.
DrKillebrew
hard to hit the front once it's driven past you.
214567654
If it's in the front of you and you were to the side of it then it's not a threat to your life. You're just an asshole.
DrKillebrew
what if it's a threat to other people?
214567654
It wasn't. The threat was antifa.
