@Virgil that sounds well and good but I'd still bet 1/2 this organization would plow through that crowd.
@Matthias Basically, ya. After experiencing just how rigged C'ville's system was against us, I felt it was just better to assume the worst for JAF, and then I'd feel no level of disappointment because I was prepared mentally for it. Now that it's done, I'm accepting of it and know the best thing to do is to look forward.
I believe you might have great discipline
But to assume you would have acted with military style calmness is not an attribute I assume most have
I do believe had Fields not made the regrettable decision to drive through the crowd he would have suffered the even more regrettable fate of being dragged from his car and beaten within an inch of his life.
I was there too, not that it matters.
Especially not some ditzy 20 year old kid
I have to get going for a couple of hours, but I want to clarify my view(my view, not IE's) and statements earlier.
Obviously the trial was an effective kangaroo court, and obviously there is a certain degree of nuance surrounding the Fields collision - You may disagree with my view on the guy, his situation and how he handled it and what else could have been done...but know I look on the situation and the guy with great sadness and pity - and nothing more.
I just don't find it productive to dwell on the case or comment on, what in my opinion, is largely Cville revisionism - both personally and for our organization.
It's up to his appeals now, and I will certainly be keeping the kid in my prayers.
What is most concerning to me is that all of the arguments made by the prosecutors were defeated by evidence.
I think if we are to ascribe any blame to Fields it's that he didn't come in a group in order to know to walk out on foot back to McIntyre. I'm not comfortable going on to speculate about what he should or shouldn't have done after he went down that street.
Perhaps, and ya I have been in 2 different wars and I guess my experience with shitty situations has helped me to come to grips with future potential shitty situations.
But they still came to the conclusion that he was guilty on *all* accounts + 30 federal hate crimes
@Matthias agreed
"Cville revisionism" l o fucking l
The frogs will continue to boil.
in other news
It's evident that he experienced a modern day witch trial.
spencer called Patrick a 'creepy incel'
Yeah, woof @Isabella Locke-MT
Ian had a good reply to that one.
Looks like Spencer is drunk again.
*a g a i n*
IE Gen is popping
I used to like Spencer
but he has just spiraled
Truth be told, I didn't even know he was still on twitter.
Better an "incel" (did he pick up that J-left buzzword from his author shado-, er, girlfriend?) than a drunk, adulterous, (probably) wife-beating dox-factory.
I think we almost all did at one point @Isabella Locke-MT
At the end of the day, nobody is disputing the fact that the trial was a sham, what people are disputing is the fact that so many people in the movement are making excuses and retroactive justifications for Fields stunning lack of self control. Let's allow blame to lie where it lies and move on.
Sad stuff!
@Isabella Locke-MT Agreed.
We dodged a bullet, when he lost his status as 'Prince of the RIght'
He used to be relevant
Now it's just sad
Everytime spencer talks about IE just post this
I should add more to this image
I think we should just ignore Spencer at this point, he's going after Patrick to draw more attention onto himself, let's not give him any more attention he deserves, which is none.
This is the future.

The mustache is an attempt at relevance
