On Monday, James Fields, the neo-Nazi convicted in the death of Heather Heyer and the injury of multiple protesters during the 2017 Charlottesville rally, was sentenced in state court to life in prison, plus 419 years.
Fields, 22, was the man responsible for driving a car into a crowd of protesters during the white supremacist rally in 2017, injuring many and killing the 32-year-old Heyer. During trial, he admitted to intentionally driving his car into the crowd. In December 2018, he was convicted on first-degree murder charges for his role in Heyers death. He was also convicted of aggravated malicious wounding and leaving the scene of an accident.

(5,313 posts)...also from Rolling Stone, an article about another douchebag nazi incel asshole who vows revenge for the sentence the murdering coward Fields received:
From the article linked below:
...Cantwell claimed the conviction would create an army of fanatics who are ready to die and drive us toward [Charlottesville and the lefts] complete and total destruction, as a matter of necessity for our very survival.

Tell me why your god would create such hateful beings, and so many of them.
The only reasonable answer is evolution: We're animals, and some of us aren't fully formed, or are fatally broken.

On that last note, my aunt used to laugh and say that she had dresses in her closet that were older than 5000 years
