James Fields GUILTY! of 1st degree murder in Charlottesville vehicle attack

It's been just a little over a year since James Fields Jr. plowed his car into a crowd of people protesting a white nationalist rally, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

He has been found guilty and faces life in prison where he will get facial and neck tattoos and join the skinhead Nazi party.

The jury reached a verdict in a little over seven hours to convict Fields, a low-functioning loser from Maumee, Ohio, in the killing of Heyer during a “Unite the Right” rally in Virginia on Aug. 12, 2017.

He was also found guilty of five counts of aggravated malicious wounding, three counts of malicious wounding and a count of leaving the scene of an accident.

During closing arguments Thursday, prosecutor Nina-Alice Antony portrayed Fields as a hateful young man who idled his vehicle for more than a minute before backing up and then speeding into the crowd, killing Heyer and injuring dozens of others.

Video from a Virginia State Police helicopter captured the incident, showing a grey "muscle car" as it rammed the group and then drove away.

Antony also referenced a text message sent by Fields the day before the rally after his mommy told him to be careful.

In the text, written at the level of a third grader, and accompanied by a picture of Adolf Hitler, Fields wrote: “we’re not the one (sic) who need to be careful.”

Antony also repeatedly reminded jurors about a meme Fields posted on Instagram three months before the crash. The image showed a crowd, identified as “protesters,” being rammed by a car, and depicted bodies being tossed in the air.

"What we have is a man who had a decision, and he decides to turn his Instagram post into reality," she said.

White nationalists, as distinguished from nationalists, are far-right wing anti-Semites, anti-Muslim, anti-black and basically anti anyone who isn't a white, American-born Christian who usually doesn't believe in Christianity.

A nationalist, like a patriot, puts the United States first, before all other nations. Many nationalists/patriots have died for the country.
