@strypey @p @stux @jeffcliff @sj_zero The context of Charlottesville is that the folks defending the statue -- who ran the gamut from yes fascists but also standard issue conservatives, were attacked by the left-wing protesters.

James Fields attempted to flee in his vehicle but was surrounded by a mob. They began to smash up his car. That's when Dwayne Dixon brandished his rifle at Fields.

The false narrative is that fields drove into a crowd with the intent to kill, but the reality is he was hunted down by the left-wing mob and his vehicle attacked. He drove into the crowd only to escape what he felt was his imminent death, due to Dixon threatening him with his rifle.
