One called their march &#8220;Unite the Right&#8221;, however, they used the most divisive language possible, not really uniting anyone, except morons. The other group were the &#8220;antifa&#8221;, anti-fascists who aren&#8217;t really sure what is fascism but they know they don&#8217;t like it. The Unite the Right folks carried tiki torches and some carried long guns. <\/p>\n<p>One fellow, James Alex Fields Jr, a 20-year-old from Ohio, decided to drive his car into the crowd of anti-fascists, killing one 32-year-old woman and injuring nineteen others.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/heavy.com\/news\/2017\/08\/james-alex-fields-jr-charlottesville-suspect-arrested-driver-crashed-rally-republican-age-bio-video\/\">Heavy<\/a> says that he was in the Army for a few months;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A James Alex Fields of the same age was briefly on active duty status with the Army, but only from August 18, 2015 to December 11, 2015. It\u2019s not clear at this time if it\u2019s the same Fields. However, with the name of his mother confirmed by a report in the Toledo Blade, it appears this likely is Fields\u2019 military record.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Without more information on him, I can&#8217;t confirm or deny this. I could only find <a href=\"http:\/\/coed.com\/2017\/08\/13\/james-alex-fields-jr-photos-charlottesville-suspect-arrested-dodge-challenger-white-nationalist-counter-protest\/\">a partial birthdate of April, 1997<\/a>, otherwise I&#8217;d check the SCRA website we talked about yesterday. The media is helpfully pointing out that Fields is a registered Republican &#8211; millions of Army veterans who are registered Republicans didn&#8217;t run over anyone with their cars yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>By the way, there is no Army training related to driving over people with a car.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately two state troopers were also killed in a helicopter crash while they were monitoring the antics of the two groups.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the Unite the Right people were protesting the planned destruction of a Confederate Memorial, and the Leftist were protesting what they always protest &#8211;  anything.<\/p>\n<p>Just to be clear, no matter what the purpose of the march, or the motivations of Fields, no one deserved to die in Charlottesville, Thomas Jefferson&#8217;s hometown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Added 8\/14\/17<\/strong>; From <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/2017\/08\/14\/james-fields-flunked-out-basic-army-training-denied-bail-in-charlottesville-case.html\">Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He was, however, released from active duty due to a failure to meet training standards in December of 2015,&#8221; Army Lt.
