‘Please know that the world is not a safe place with [him] in it.’
James A. Fields, Jr., the white supremacist who drove his car into the crowd at the infamous Unite The Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and killed counter-protester Heather Heyer, has been sentenced to life in prison plus 419 years, the Washington Post is reporting.
Back on August 12,2017, the Unite The Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, had descended into near-riots. Ostensibly the two-day, weekend event was about protesting the removal of a statue of a Confederate general. In fact, it attracted all manner of alt-right characters, many of whom, such as Fields, were avowed white supremacists.
Horrifying scenes from the first night of the rally such as the image of angry white supremacists, many of whom were young men, holding tiki torches in front of a Charlottesville building shocked Americans.
