    Arrow Charlottesville white nationalist attacked in jail, official says

    The man accused of killing a woman while he plowed a car into a crowd of counter-protesters at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last year was assaulted in jail, officials said.

    James Alex Fields Jr. was allegedly hit "twice on the left side of his body above his shoulders" on Oct. 22 by Timothy Ray Brown Jr., Col. Martin Kumer, superintendent of the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail, said in a news release.

    Brown was walking past a correctional officer when he allegedly assaulted Fields.

    "At no time did Inmate Fields have an opportunity to defend himself or respond in any manner," Kumer stated.

    Fields is facing first-degree murder, along with other charges, in the death of Heather Heyer on Aug. 12, 2017. The 32-year-old woman was counter-protesting the Charlottesville rally when Fields allegedly drove a vehicle into a group of people, leaving her dead and dozens of others wounded.

    Sounds like he was just sucker-punched. Nothing too serious.

    You'd think they'd escort a high-profile inmate like that in isolation, not move him when any other inmates are around.

    I'm assuming he was cuffed at the time and unable to defend himself. That's how they generally deal with those in "protective custody", when moving them from say their cell to the rec yard.

    Daily reminder that Heather Heyer died from a heart attack. Not from the impact of his vehicle.

    I don't know, I'm pretty sure he'd still be looking at a stretch of time just for the 14 counts of aggravated assault for ramming his car into that crowd, even if no one had died from the incident...

    What white nationalists don't understand is just how outnumbered they are in jail and prison. There are far more leftists behind bars than there are rightists.

    That's why so many of these Democratic governors are trying to restore voting rights to felons, and the Republicans are trying so hard to stop them -- because they know how most felons tend to vote.

    While he should be able to find more protection once he finally makes it to prison (i.e. with the Aryan Brotherhood or Aryan Knights prison gang) he needs to watch his back while still in county.

    Because obviously being in "protective custody" isn't all that protective, when you're so high-profile with such a huge target on your back.

    So, how do you get hits to the body just above the shoulder? Wouldn't that be a head shot?

    If they are felons and voting they must be Democrats. Kinda like the dead Democrats voting. Not sure how big a target he is. He ran over a white girl didn't he?

    The fact his car was completely surrounded by an angry mob who wanted to kill him, and was beating his car with sticks should be good enough defense.

    I doubt it. They have footage of him way down the street, surrounded by no one, revving his engine before gunning it for the crowd blocks away. It was clearly premeditated.

    Plus, the moron allegedly confessed, when he was caught miles away after fleeing the scene.

    He wouldn't have been charged with all those counts of Aggravated Assault and Murder by the police if they didn't have strong probable cause.

    He'll be lucky to avoid the federal death penalty for his hate crimes.

    Funny the footage I saw was his car surrounded by antifa. When they hit his car with the stick and broke the tail light he gunned it. They were completely surrounding him in the clip I saw. Once again the right and the left living two completely unique realities with completely different story lines.

    Just seconds before that cell phone footage, multiple witnesses testified that he was just sitting there at a green light, revving his engine, pointed at the crowd.

    Clearly, there were plenty of side streets with no people for him to turn down if he was really fleeing and not gunning it for the crowd.

    Again, he fled the scene before being caught by police miles away. He never called the police to claim he was a victim. Instead, he allegedly broke down and confessed to the police that he was angry and intentionally drove into the crowd.

    The police arrested him and charged him based on that evidence.

    It makes no difference whether he is guilty or innocent. He attacked the Left's foot soldiers and he's gonna pay.

    If the car was hit, you must acquit.

    Think his lawyers might try the OJ defense?

    I'll be very surprised if it makes it to trial.

    Assuming the reports are true that dodo bird confessed, his goose is cooked.

    All the prosecutors would have to do is play that confession tape (that the police recorded) to the jury, and it will be very quick deliberations before coming back with a unanimous guilty verdict.

    He'll likely end up pleading guilty to LWOP (Life Without the possibility of Parole) in order to be spared the needle. Just like with Dylann Roof, the black church shooter.

    It is what it is.

    This is what I heard too.
    "And how we burned in the camps later thinking, what would things have been like, if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain, whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?"

    You guys are forgetting one thing, too. Facts mean nothing to the Controlled Media. They will spin it any way they can to make it fit into their anti-America agenda.

    She was one of them; he ran his car into the crowd; she fell down and died (heart attack means nothing) as a result; ergo, he "killed" her.

    He'll pay for that, guaranteed.
