Charlottesville killer pleads guilty to 29 hate crimes charges
By Zack Budryk - 03/27/19 04:24 PM EDT



The white nationalist convicted of killing Heather Heyer with his car in Virginia in 2017 pleaded guilty to federal hate crimes Wednesday, the Justice Department announced.

James Fields Jr., a participant in the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in August 2017, killed Heyer, a counterprotester, and wounded numerous others when he drove his car into a crowd. He was convicted in December of first-degree murder, aggravated malicious wounding and one count of leaving the scene of an accident causing serious injury or death.

Well, that's a start.

His eternal future is where the real punishment will be.....
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

"Sometimes I think the Church would be better off if we would call a moratorium on activity for about six weeks and just wait on God to see what He is waiting to do for us. That's what they did before Pentecost."   - A. W. Tozer

Use the time God is giving us to seek His will and feel His presence.

What is the point?  He is already facing life + 400 years.  Criminalizing human thought is wrong.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
