Counter rally in Charlottesville suspect’s town of Maumee
New details about the suspect accused of driving into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Va., have emerged. One woman was killed.
After the destruction came quiet and sorrow as a vigil was held where Heyer was killed. He’s 20 years old, and he had traveled to Virginia from his home in Ohio. And the FBI is pursuing a civil rights investigation.
“I don’t know who’s going to be that cheerleader for me now that she’s not here”, said Wilson.
Bloom told the Toledo Blade that she ahd told Fields Jr.to practice caution.
McCain added, “White supremacists and neo-Nazis are, by definition, opposed to American patriotism and the ideals that define us as a people and make our nation special”.
Fields’ mother Samantha Bloom told CBS News she heard about the charges facing her son from a news reporter.
Keegan McGrath described Fields as “a normal dude”, but who sometimes uttered “dark” jokes, including at least one about the Holocaust and that the two got into a heated debate one night on the trip over his views. Always, what goes through your mind is: “‘What could have we done?'” Wilson said. Police immediately escorted them away.
“It was obvious that he had this fascination with Nazism and a big idolatry of Adolf Hitler”, Weimer told the newspaper. Fields wrote a long paper about the Nazi military for one class, according to the teacher.

If you would like to show your support for Charlottesville, there has been a donation page launched that you can check out here. The group said Fields was not a member and that the shields were distributed widely.
The court appearance was conducted via video while Fields was in jail, according to USA Today. “She was really good at that”. “Knowing what he did, it’s kind of haunting now, you know”. It’s a teacher’s worst nightmare. “Hate speech and violence are not welcome in MI – it’s not representative of who Michiganders truly are or of the future we want to build for our children”.
The rally quickly saw clashes between counter-protesters and the alt-right demonstrators, and police quickly had to disperse the demonstrations minutes after the scheduled start time at noon Saturday.
