One dead after car plows into marchers in Virginia; driver in custody

A car plowed into a crowd of people peacefully protesting a white nationalist rally Saturday in a Virginia college town, killing one person, sending at least 26 others to hospitals and ratcheting up tension in an increasingly violent confrontation.

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the chaos boiled over at what is believed to be the largest group of white nationalists to come together in a decade: the governor declared a state of emergency, police dressed in riot gear ordered people out and helicopters circled overhead.

    “In all countries, in all nationality there is good and bad. Do not judge D/cans. Keep your brains opened. Nearly all of us, if not all of us have “WHITE BLOOD” in us. You expect us to denounce the white people?”(Let The Tfruth Be Known).

    That bit of garbage is written by someone with so many names she is confused; and so her name now becomes Let The Tfruth Be Known-original; So maybe you are no longer Kid On Block or Facts, and all the rest.

    Now; you see that bit of garbage in the quote, I read something like that from you in the past. What I gather from such foolishness is that when people like you do not know better, you believe anything: you compile your nonsensical thoughts only to make yourself feel good!

    Again most of the knowledge possess derives from the level of our education; scientific or otherwise. If you want to be black and white that is up to you. Nevertheless, this crap all of us have white blood in us is something conceived in your mind which is false,…

      Don’t you think the scenario could be the other way around? Well I know it is the other way around; because every white person, alive on earth today owe their life to a black man and woman. For your information lady human life began in Africa, Namibia to be precise.

      I learn that when I majored in Health Science, while pursing a medical degree. Modern science, and the science of deoxyribonucleic acid has traced every life on earth back to the Bushman’s tribe of Namibia, and for your information lady it is a fact that two black can produce, and has even recently in England produced a white child.

      A twin was born, one black, and the other “white.” You need to stop talking nonsense, that is what happens when people education is mediocre!

    J.J Charles” please educate yourself, and stop being a disaster, in ancient Egypt, the ceremony of opening the mouth is to know. EMANCIPATE YOURSELF FROM MENTAL SLAVERY. don’t be laughed at.

    Steve Foerster” you trying to do good living in our midst, does not compensate for the millions of whites who hate and continue to commit crimes against Africans and humanity in general. There is always a hidden agenda with your kind having a say in the reactionary. After 500yrs, my people are waking up, maybe less in Dominica.

      Again, you need to educate yourself. History does not begin and end with Jesus Christ. You know a lot of these white racist people use Jesus Christ to justify their position. The Slave owners, such as the confederate generals were, including Lee, use Jesus Christ to justify their actions. You need to set yourself free! I can see you are mentally enslaved. We have to be objective in our views.

    I will admit that I am not educated ,left school in standard 3,but as I have said I can read and with a little common sense God has given me, I will not follow my fellow blacks “like a sheep to the slaughter.They are believing since you are black you must support democratic party .I am asking them, what have they done for you? and you know the answer? They just scratching the head.The democratic party have been using the blacks like prostitutes,the difference is you have to pay the lady,where as the blacks nothing.All they are told Republicans and racists.
    Just last weekend 39 shootings, 9 deaths in Chicago,blacks killing blacks.Does democrats cares? Black lives only matter if a white police involve

      John Charles, unless you are exaggerating, I can the effects of a third grade education, because your comments here is absolutely nonsensical; if you wish to be a republican, or support the republican party, it because you are a living modern day slave, and shall remain a stupid slave for the rest of you life!

      You are so ignorant you have absolutely no clue as to what you are witnessing in the picture. Open you blind eyes, and tell me if you see a single black person in the crowd demonstrating or fighting!

      Food for thought, mind your business, what Roosevelt is doing to you in Dominica, keeping you in economic slavery is similar to what the Nazi and white supremacist has don to idiots like you for years, the next time they lynch (hang) a black person your stupid self will applaud and say thank you Donald Trump!

      Shut up man; such comments are that of a fool!

    I grew up in Dominica and I now live in Charlottesville Va and I am totally blown by the ignorant statements made by J. John Charles. I urge you to look at this video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P54sP0Nlngg&feature=youtu.be
    It gives you a view of what is going on in the US. We need to educate yourself on these issues before you come out making statements. This is not fake news – I live in Charlottesville

      What do you expect from someone who is proud of a third grade education?

      He does not know any better; he’s repetitive of some crap he heard or read some place, not understand the magnitude of his stupidity, he believes he is proving himself smart by repeating such garbage!

      People like that guy are prepared to allow the racists whites to kick his behind, only so that he can say thank you sir! The only time I feel ashamed to be a Dominican born, is when I read or hear the garbage like that which comes out of the mouth of a Dominica fool like him!

      The man is an idiot!

    There’s lots of videos of vehicles plowing into crowds on youtube. The reason why this is getting so much attention in the media is because it reflects negatively on Trump as a racist. The bias media has an agenda to delegitimize Trump and to fool the ppl and you all falling for it yet again. Sad.

    • Francisco Etienne-Dods Telemaque
      August 16, 2017

      Ossie, you and John Charles are at the same level educationally; if you were not dumb you would not want to legitimize Donald Trump, who will kick you in your behind the first chance he gets.

      If Trump was not a raciest, do you believe he would plan on invading Venezuela, if he was not raciest, do you believe he would have introduced such harsh immigration policies which could have many of illegal Dominicans picked up at any moment and deported to Dominica?

      Donald Trump has been a bigot, a raciest all of his father was a member of the KKK, when the KKK was all mighty and powerful; when they lynch and murder Black people for simply looking at a white person in their face.

      Donald Trump father was arrested while marching in a KKK march!

      If you do not know; rather than talking fart, making a fool out of yourself, just shut up, be quiet, nobody will that you are an idiot!

      Try renting an Apartment owned by Trump see what happens?

      Let me correct that!

      “Donald Trump has been a bigot, a raciest all of his life; father was a member of the KKK,”

      If you believe will favor you simply by you kissing up to him, with your patios Dominica accent, and try to beg for something from him, as most of you stupid Dominicans like to beg, see what happens.

      I do not know how you can support a man who is considered a rapist, one you may have heard said he gropes women, without their permission, and expect decent people to legitimized Trump!

      The rats you see demonstrating and murdering people are Donald Trumps type; they are the racist who made him president! Man keep your mouth shut, your stupid opinions are irrelevant in American politics!

    At the end of the day when black lives matter had all there protests and riots in the states the nazis never came out in force to aggravate the situation and let them have there freedom of speech. Now the nazis want there turn to peacefully have there match and have there freedom of speech the anti community was out there in force to aggravate the situation and drive things to a point where the nazis had to strike back. At the end of the day this would never had happen if people did not come out in force and decide to protest against there match and aggravate the situation. We all have freedom of speech. If black lives matter have the freedom to call for death of police officers. What can’t the white supremacist have the right to call for the deportation of none whites. At the end of the day FREEDOM OF SPEECH is meant for everyone not just for those who say what we like to hear . In other words the white supremacist are not to be blamed for what happened hear.

    The last few years have been a travesty in the country of my birth. That racists are so emboldened, that they clearly exist in such great numbers, and that severe inequality still permeates the so-called criminal justice system is a despicable stain on American society. Maybe the economy there is better, but money isn’t everything.

    lob France you sound like the fake media like CNN and others.Can you give just one instance where Trump said his a gender is to “make American white again?”
    You also wrote the white Supremacist etc came out from their nesting places and say they carrying the president ‘s agenda, again maybe you are just making it out of your dislike for the president or maybe you have access to these groups,in any event Trump have nothing to do with these people and He cannot prevent them from saying what they want.Just remember the saying “you cannot prevent the bird from flying in the air,but you can prevent it from making it’s nesting on your head.

      Mr. John Charles, it’s mind boggling that you would lend support to a most polarizing and bigoted figure like the Donald. Your statements clearly indicate that you are a slavishly Pro-Trump pundit. The infamous racist, David Duke, very recently proclaimed that he and his loyal followers voted for Trump and are carrying forward his agenda. With his businesses and his administration, Donald Trump practices Plantation Politics. He used Mexican laborers for his private businesses. Surrounds himself almost exclusively with White men in the White House. He perpetrated a lie for many years against the first Black President of the United States. This man is the chief architect of bigotry. Only people of the same ilk las the Donald would give him bouquets for doing unpardonable wrongs.

      August 16, 2017

      John, if you were not an uneducated idiot, you would be able to cognitively determine that Trump agenda indeed means to make America white again!

      John you are a fool: You need to know a computer, or a smart phone is a very good tool, handy; nevertheless, one of the things they do to people like you is expose your stupidity.

      The more you argue, writing crap, is the more I am discovering how very shallow you are; I do not know where you are, but if you reside in the United States, and are here legally, I suggest you find an adult night or day institution (school) where you can finish your elementary education, and perhaps try for a college education.

      The say Dominica is a heaven for idiots, fools and very stupid people: You are the epitome of a Dominica fool, one who is truly wearing you stupidity on your forehand as a your badge of honor!(Pirie Charles).

      I suppose the late prime minister Charles had you in mind when he quoted that!

      Mr. J. Jno. Charles

      He didn’t have to say it. He set the tone and his followers said it for him. I actually saw a young man with a placard during the campaigning for Presidential elections which said “Make America White again”. What do you think was the meaning of the battle cry “America first?” for me it was “America best” and to……. with everybody else. He emboldened the supremacists with his language and rhetoric! so nothing that is happening here should be a surprise. The man was pretty open about his demeanour and character right through his political ascendancy to the Presidency. Many Americans allowed their hatred of the other side to override cautious and dispassionate analysis.

      As many people have been saying – “words have meaning” but the lesson I want us to take away as Dominicans is to watch people’s words and demeanour when aspiring to high office because these are indicators of what will happen if or when they get “into office”!

    If Ed Scoble brought conservatism to Dominica this is a badge of honor.because conservatism is indeed virtuous. What is wrong in believing an innocent baby in the womb is a gift from God and should be protected? That marriage is sacred and is between one man one woman.Less government dependency, but the same should create the environment 4 the private sector to invest so that the citizens can be gainfully employed and not wait on government for handouts.That we the people should be patriotic. Also government should not dictate to the investors how to run their business.That hard workers should not be over taxed to give to those that who refused to work.
    Being black dose not mean I should hate whites and wish for their demise. As a saved man who love Christ I don’t see black and white but a fellow human being who is loved by God.
    I don’t envy people because they are rich,but I encouraged my children to educate themselves work hard and stay far from trouble OK

      “conservatism”

      John Charles you have taken plenty of time to prove yourself a common fool!

      What on earth does “conservatism” have to do with the subject of bunch of bigots, led my Donald Trump who in so many words you do not understand encouraged the chaos, and murder which took place last week end?

      I doubt you know the definition of the word “conservatism” so, let me define the word to you! That word is defined as “a disposition in politics to preserve what is established!

      It is a political philosophy based on tradition: Traditionally fool; White America, considers a Black person to be 3/5 of a white person, and because you are dumb, that means one white is valued more than three black people (it means it takes three Black people to make one white!

      And what they did traditionally is that they enslaved our forefathers, that is why your dumb behind is born in Dominica, if they lynch your forefather people would not be dealing with your stupid comments in 2017,…

    It is quite evident that the ascension of Donald Trump to the position of president of the USA has emboldened the White Supremacists and the Neo-Nazis to come out from their nesting places. Many of these people have openly declared that they are carrying out President Trump’s agenda to make America White Again. No matter how vigorously some have tried to deny it, Donald Trump by his history, actions, non-actions and words is the epitome of racism. No amount of political spin, blame game and ridiculous accusations by his intellectually lazy and dishonest minions can distort the truth about him. This is a man who doesn’t connect the tongue to the brain before he speaks. Words matter when you are the president of the US. The whole world is in for a very rocky and perilous ride with Mr. Ignoramus at the driver’s seat of world affairs.

      @Ibo France – You are a classic example of the person the liberal agenda & media is deluding.

      Make America White again? Since when was that Donald Trump’s agenda? And what do you mean make America white again? Isn’t America primarily a populous Caucasian country? How can something which is already white in the majority be made white again? 8-O 8-O 8-O 8-O

      With all this talk about Donald Trump and racism, what has Donald Trump done to indicate that he is racist? And to whom is he racist?

Not too longer ago a democrat almost shot dead a congressman of the Republican party, and this man had a list of others in his pocket to kill and no one blamed Clinton or Bernie Sanders.

      @J.John Charles – There is a concerted overt campaign against Donald Trump by covert forces utilizing the media & other strategies to darken the public’s perception of Trump and frustrate his plans.

      It was quite clear from the US general election campaign that the liberal agenda & media absolutely hate Trump, Mike Pence & the principles they stand for. Just look at how these entities twisted & continue to twist and distort the things Trump says in-order to sow seeds of discord & discontent in the US with sole goal of blaming Trump and getting him out of office.

      ‘Everybody’ is harping about this Russia thing but was the information that the hackers (whoever they hackers were) revealed about Hillary Clinton & the Democratic party etc false? It seems not. This seems to be the classic case of kill the messenger & ignore the message.

      Something is going on out there.

      Stay tuned…

    The Dominicans in the USA , the majority live in the inner cities of New York, NewJERSEY and BOSTON, they do not come into contact with true multifaceted USA, the words PLUTOCRACY and OLIGARCHY, don’t seemed to be of use on the island, WHITE NATIONALISM as it pertains, is not comprehended by the majority of Dominicans because they still see the WHITE MAN AS GOD. The conservatism doctrine, brought to Dominica by the then chief strategist of the DOMINICA FREEDOM PARTY EDWAED SCOBIE, is really the political philosophy of WHITE NATIONALIST USA, where the RICH controls every aspect of POWER, it is now playing out right before our eyes. Nations of the developing and underdeveloped world, are being forced to accept everything thats being pushed, Presently, we are seeing the death of the WHIT MAN created DEMOCRACY doctrine, because he himself does not believe in it, His NEW DOCTRINE IS NOW ANACHY, its been on the table for the past 16yrs, Check it out.

      In all countries, in all nationality there is good and bad. Do not judge D/cans. Keep your brains opened. Nearly all of us, if not all of us have “WHITE BLOOD” in us. You expect us to denounce the white people?
      We must learn to live with each other. Cease looking at the world with your lens of white and black.
      I have repeated this more than once, not on DNO. This is the first time. “God does not care two hoots who is black and who is white.” I will further state that He created us just the way we are for good reasons. This is to see how well we can live with each other on this earth and get along together without which we will never obtain eternal salvation.
      The white supremacy are stupid. They take it upon themselves to hate those who are not of their race. They are ignorant and have much to learn. One day, they will see their racist and wicked attitude. They love to stir up trouble. “Satan finds some mischief for idle hands, mouths and feet to do.”

      “WHITE NATIONALISM as it pertains, is not comprehended by the majority of Dominicans because they still see the WHITE MAN AS GOD.”

      Nonsense. My personal experience over many years is that most Dominicans just see white people as people like any other, and that the few who don’t see it that way hold a negative prejudice, not a positive one.

      You should have a word with some Dominicans here and in the diaspora who are actively working with some of these people to continue to suppress the Caribbean and are actively using some of these people to try to crash their own country with battering rams of misinformation and other strategies!

      Just witness the Rijock saga. Can you believe it! Just see the CBS 60 minutes attack on the Caribbean’s CBI programmes! Just see how some of our citizens are having an orgy of dirt-digging on Dominica and actively seeking to sink it into oblivion! Do they understand what you are saying? Not that I agree with everything you are in fact saying but I can identify with much of it!

      Thanks for the discourse!
