Keep Your Eye on the Bat
13th August 2017
The brief clip below is an excerpt from a longer RT video that someone has modified by steadying it as much as possible and zooming in. In it you’ll see the car driven yesterday by James Fields, just before it ran into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville. The cameraman is on the east sidewalk of 4th Street, looking south towards Water Street. The point of view is just south of the pedestrian area of the Downtown Mall, as indicated by the newspaper boxes that briefly come into view on the left. The car that Mr. Fields’ car eventually rammed is farther down, hidden by the clot of pedestrians.
Watch closely as a counter-protester holding a bat swings it with both arms against the back of Mr. Fields’ Dodge.
‘Counter-protester’, of course, being a euphemism for ‘antifa rioter’.
The camera’s view of the car is foreshortened by distance and the effect of the zoom. However, it is apparent that the car was NOT traveling at a high rate of speed prior to being hit by the bat. The driver seemed to be proceeding with caution, as would be appropriate when driving on a street packed with rowdy pedestrians.
If you’ve seen any of the videos showing the impact of Mr. Fields’ Dodge with the back of the second car, you know how fast he was traveling when he ripped through that crowd. At some point after his car was hit with the bat, he must have floored it.
You won’t see any of that in the DemLegHump Media, of course.
It’s all about the Narrative, Larry. How long before some proglodyte web site comes up with a photoshop of Trump driving the crowd car?
