    Where is this equivalency coming from? Comparing bat shyte to angry social parriah doesn't seem to be successful for you. More, I doubt the veracity of those sharing the content of the conversation, as in, I doubt that they have accurately reported the information. For those who actually socialize their intent, will they ever actually act on it, and was the fact they socialized it actually indicate the behavior, or was the situation in which they found themselves the trigger for them to commit crime? I am clearly not excusing dude. I am suggesting that I can see the path of a future appeal being premised on the overreach of the local prosecution team that can be overturned. Who needs that? Its pervasive. Prosecutors trying to make a national name on the back of unconstitutional action. Had 2nd degree been on offer, the likely sentencing would have sufficiently dealt with this cretin.

    "Far Right" and "white supremacist" are not jello terms. They have been defined many times, well defined. We have working examples on this Board.

    There are no parties of institutional racism as some eerily suggest.

    Right now the GOP houses quite a few white supremacists and racists, plus a huge number of uber nationalists and ethnocentrists.

    Bucky, learn history. The GOP had slave owners in Congress and the administration during the Civil War.

    The Senator who had a KKK past redeemed himself in the eyes of America and the world.

    Strom Thurmond, the GOP senator with a black daughter he refused to acknowledge, never redeemed himself.

    I don't really see 3 minutes as being premeditated--that's more in the heat of the moment.

    Edit: Having read more, I realized he had thoughts of running people down. The First Degree murder was thus correct.

    That's the first I've heard that. Evidence for that contention?

    Edit:
    I stand corrected. I will amend my earlier statement, and now think that he should be in for First Degree murder. That was the first I'd ever heard about that. (it was also in the OP).

    What did the jury hear?
    Prosecutor Nina Antony said that photographic and video evidence would show that Mr Fields's actions were pre-meditated and not motivated by self-protection, as the defence would argue.

    She said that months before the incident, the reputed far-right sympathiser had posted pictures on Instagram showing a group of people being struck by a car.

    Here is your lesson and here is the racist Democrats labeling Republicans:

    Strom Thurmond was a Democrat and a dixiecrat, first and foremost. Ran for President as a dixiecrat too. :)

    You can try and rewrite history or your party can try and run and hide from it and deface property and statues, but those that have studied it, know what your party did and how you operate today is of the same mindset. It's tragic and wrong.

    Bucky buddy, the GOP had slave owners in Congress and the administration in the Civil War.

    You can't get away from history.

    The history of the parties is clear: Blacks and Minorities have a home in the Democratic Party, while old, senile white man can hide in the GOP.

    Yes, justice has been served. There is no way I buy into his self defense story.

    If Antifa is "the left's," then the white supremacists must be "the right's," right? Not that Antifa are hateful, bigoted murderers who deserve to be compared to these white supremacists, of course. Antifa have had their issues in the past, at least, but they've never been as bad as those they show up to counter-protest.

    Really? Antifa has had their issues in the past?

    So the video's of their attacks, and the millions in property damage are just a figment of the imagination.

    Wow, you've really stepped out on this one.

    If they remove statues from public view slavery never happened, the Democrats did not support slavery, and all will be forgiven and eventually forgotten. There's a great deal Democrats will want to erase from public memory, and they're well on the way too rewriting history.

    They need to remove the statues so they can rewrite the history books and blame their past on others. Once you remove the evidence, you can revise history to say whatever you want.

    This is how countries, like the United States, will eventually be destroyed. From within by the parties like the DNC.

    He's a diagnosed schizophrenic.

    Probably going to a mental hospital, and likely not going to be executed.

    As did I.

    Thurmond was a slug, Byrd did his penance.

    Your GOP had slave-owning Congressmen, yes.

    And the northern Democrats provided the margin of victory for the North in the Civil War.
