Discussion: White Nationalist Plans To Argue Self-Defense In C'ville Car Attack Trial

1 Like

Yeah, I donā€™t think defending the purity of the white race from the mongrel hordes counts as ā€œself-defense,ā€ but good luck with that.

Hill asked if any of the prospective jurors believe that using violence in self-defense is never appropriate.

Depends. Does punching Nazis count?

Letā€™s see - Automobile vs. unarmed pedestrian.

Yeah, this is going to be interesting. Thatā€™s an affirmative defense so the burden is on him to prove he thought his life was in danger from all those people on foot.

Ha! Good luck with that fellaā€¦ Driving into an unarmed crowd makes an affirmative defense quite the Hail Mary.

Notice how the White Supremes (and their logic) always resemble White Losers?

He wants the publicity. And so do the people who helped enable his monstrous actions. They will spend endless time (breathlessly covered by fox and the other propaganda outlets) blaring the ostensibly lawless pasts of everyone involved in the counterprotest, and of every ski-masked jerk who might possibly have thought about being involved, even if they didnā€™t. And then theyā€™ll rely on a nullification jury. (Itā€™s worked before ā€“ juries have found that white police officers reasonably feared for their lives when confronted with black people bearing candy bars or wallets. But mostly the publicity of smearing everyone who is opposed to white supremacists.)

I am not sure how much Charlottesville has changed in the last 30 years, but there was a time that it would have been a sensible defense.

True enough. I do think itā€™s changed quite a bit. When I was there years ago, it seemed like any other college town Iā€™ve ever visited.

ā€˜Profiles in Courageā€™ these guys. Next up they will have to run over mothers and children at the border because you know, ā€˜protectionā€™. They should be embarrassed to exist.

This guy sped down a narrow street, ran over two prominent speed bumps, and crossed a cobblestone pedestrian mall to run into a retreating crowd of people with signs 100 yards away. The jurors will get to see that area, Iā€™m sure. Itā€™s a few blocks from the courthouse. No way it was self-defense and they will see that. Disgusting that his attorney would attempt it.
