Occupy Oakland calls Saturday night rally in response to Charlottesville violence
OAKLAND — Members of the Occupy Movement are calling for a Saturday night rally in downtown Oakland in response to the bloody clashes during protests in Charlottesville, Va. that left one person dead and more injured.
In social media messages Saturday afternoon the group is calling for people to meet at the intersection of Broadway and 14th Street, the epicenter of many street protests in Oakland in recent years.
“Charlottesville, we’ve got your back. Bay Area united against white supremacy. Emergency Solidarity Demo,” one of the messages said, announcing the demonstration.
Ku Klux Klan members and people carry Nazi flags protesting the planned removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from a city park classes with counter demonstrators Friday night into Saturday.
Just when the scene appeared to calm, someone plowed a car into a crowd of counter protesters, killing one and injuring at least nine.

Registration records demonstrate that a car owned by Fields was involved in Saturday’s deadly car incident in Charlottesville. Fields allegedly drove his gray 2010 Dodge Challenger into a crowd of counter-protesters opposing a white nationalist rally. As a result of Fields’ alleged actions, 19 people have been injuries and one 32-year-old female has died.
Fields is a 20-year-old male from Maumee, Ohio. He allegedly plowed his vehicle through a crowd of protesters at a Unite the Right rally. As a result of Saturday’s vehicular incident, a Snapchat video has surfaced appearing to show Fields surrendering to police.

Our Dear Leader wasn't able to call out the white supremacists, he spoke instead of ugliness 'on all sides' and specifically deflected any blame from himself.

1. Fields reportedly told his mother, Samantha Bloom, that he was planning to attend the rally. According to the Toledo Blade, Bloom said Fields said he was going to an "alt-right" rally, but she didn't realize that it involved white supremacists.
"I thought it had something to do with [President Donald] Trump," Bloom told The Associated Press. "Trump's not a white supremacist."
She added: "He had an African-American friend, so ..."
Bloom told the Blade that she tries "to stay out of his political views."
2. The silver Dodge Charger involved in the incident reportedly was registered to Fields and had a Lucas County tag. The Blade reported that Fields was found guilty of "having expired or unlawful license plates" on the vehicle in June.
3. Fields grew up in Kentucky but recently moved to northwest Ohio. The Blade reported that Bloom and her son moved from Florence, Kentucky, outside Cincinnati, to the Toledo area "about a year ago for her job." Fields moved out of her Monclova Township apartment to his own place in Maumee "five or six months ago," she told the Blade.
4. An uncle described Fields as "not really friendly, more subdued" in an interview with the Washington Post. Fields' single, paraplegic mother raised the boy after a drunken driver killed his father before he was born, the unnamed uncle said.
The uncle told the Post that Fields' father left money to his son, which was placed in a trust fund until Fields turned 18. The last time the uncle heard from his nephew was when Fields "demanded his money," the Post reported.
5. Bloom's neighbors in Monclova Township knew little about Fields. “I’ve never spoken with the gentleman; I don’t know anything about him,” one neighbor, Bob Rose, told the Blade. “You just never know. Until you get the whole story, you can assume what you want. Was he there to cause mayhem? Was he a white supremacist? I don’t know.”
The Blade reported that Fields frequently "blasted polka music" in his car when he was in the neighborhood,[as any typical 20 year-old male is wont to do....]according to Laurie Schoonmaker, another neighbor.
I used that term in my first post about this. The guy is also a killer. And a murderer. (Obviously not every person who engages in an act of terrorism is also a murderer; not every act of terrorism causes death.)Guinevere wrote:Don't you mean "the terrorist?"
He's got Hitler's baby picture on his Facebook page.Fields’ Facebook page was peppered with similar alt-right and Nazi imagery — such as Hitler’s baby photo; a tourist shot of the Reichstag in Berlin; and cartoon of Pepe the Frog, the anthropomorphic frog hijacked by right-wing groups — before it was deactivated around 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
The picture at the link BSG posted would seem to conclusively confirm what Fields' political orientation is (or maybe the loonie birds are claiming the picture is a fake):What amazes me are the amount to chuckleheads claiming the driver was liberal/antifa.
Not just the shield, (which the participants obviously made and brought themselves since they're all different; they didn't just show up and get handed one.) but this particular group seems to have some "white shirt khaki pants dress code" that Fields came prepared for.James Fields Jr., the maniac driver who police say steered his beloved Dodge Challenger into a crowd of peaceful protesters in Charlottesville, Va., had been brandishing a shield emblazoned with a white supremacist emblem just hours before the deadly rampage Saturday.
https://bloodandsoil.org/manifesto/The time of the Republic has passed in America, as the system grows weak. Arrogance and delusions of infinite power have brought the state to the point of buckling. The damage done to this nation and its people will not be fixed if every issue requires a vote, if every point must be debated, discussed, or deliberated upon. Democracy has failed in this once great nation, now the time for a new Caesar to revive the American spirit has dawned.
