VIOLENCE. >>> THAT CRASH WAS CAUGHT ON
VIDEO BY SEVERAL PEOPLE AT YESTERDAY'S RALLY AND BE WARNED
THIS IS GOING TO BE DISTURBING. IT SHOWED THE CAR SPEEDING
FORWARD TO PLOW INTO PEDESTRIANS AND BACKING UP AND HITTING MORE
PEOPLE AND SPEEDING AWAY. >> BRENNAN MOORE RECORDED IT ON
HIS PHONE. TAKE US THROUGH WHAT YOU SAW.
>> ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING SCENE. I WAS FILMING A PEACEFUL
NONVIOLENT MARCH WHO WERE COMING UP A NARROW STREET I WAS IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE STREET MYSELF AND HEARD FROM BEHIND ME THE
ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE AND SAW THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION
BARRELLING DOWN A NARROW STREET WITH NO TRAFFIC ON IT, AT A HIGH
RATE OF SPEED CLEARLY INTEND ON DOING DAMAGE.
CRASHED OVER A BARRIER AND WENT DOWN THE STREET AND ACCELERATED
HARD AS IT WENT INTO THE CROWD. >> AMONG THE THINGS YOU SAID
YESTERDAY, LET THERE BE NO CONFUSION THIS WAS DELIBERATE
TERRORISM. YOU STAND BY THAT?
>> ABSOLUTELY. I DON'T KNOW THAT THE
AUTHORITIES HERE HAVE USED THE WORD TERRORISM YET.
THERE'S A JUDICIAL PROCESS WHICH WILL PLAY OUT BUT IT WAS
PERPETRATED BY ONE OF THESE RACIST NAZI'S WHO CAME TO
CHARLOTTESVILLE TO SPREAD THEIR IDEOLOGY.
HE TARGETED THIS CROWD CLEARLY. THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT HIS
INTENT WAS TO CAUSE A MASS CASUALTY INCIDENT.
>> YOU MUST HAVE FELT FRIGHTENED FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY.
WHAT WAS THAT LIKE BEING THERE? >> MY NEED CONCERN WAS TO ATTEND
TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAD GOTTEN HIT.
A WOMAN COLLAPSED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME SO AFTER I STOPPED FILMING
I GAVE HER FIRST AID AS I COULD. POLICE AND FIRST RESPOND ES WERE
ON THE SCENE QUICKLY. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY
AS A MARTYR ON THE SIDE OF ANTIRACIST WHO GAVE HER LIFE
FIGHTING ON THE SIDE OF THIS IDEOLOGY.
>> YOU RECORDED FIGHTS BREAK OUT IN THE CROWD EARLIER.
SO TALK ABOUT POLICE PRESENCE. WHAT DID YOU SEE IN THAT REGARD?
>> THERE WAS A HEAVY POLICE PRESENCE AROUND TOWN.
THERE WERE FIGHTS AROUND THE SFRAL LOCATION BEFORE THE STATE
OF EMERGENCY E WAS DECLARED. I WAS CRITICAL ON TWITTER
WONDERING WHY THEY DIDN'T INTERVENE.
BUT I DON'T WANT TO SECOND GUESS THE JOB THAT THE THOFRTS HAD
YESTERDAY WHEN A FEDERAL JUDGE GRANTED A PERMIT TO A GROUP
WHOSE IDEOLOGY IS BASED ON HATE. YOU KNOW, THE LEGAL AUTHORITY
LET THEM COME TO A VERY COMPACT TIGHT PART OF TOWN.
SO THE POLICE HAD A VERY DIFFICULT JOB TO DO.
ONCE THE STATE OF EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED THEY MOVED IN QUICK,
BUT THESE NAZIS CAME TO TOWN WITH THE INTENT TO DECLARE HARM.
THEY WERE AWASH WITH SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPONS, SHIELDS,
HELMETS. THEY CAME HERE TO SPUR VIOLENCE
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED AND'S IN A WHAT WE SAW.
FRANKLY WITH THE AMOUNT OF WEAPONS ON THE STREET HERE IN
CHARLOTTESVILLE I'M SURPRISED IT WASN'T WORSE.
>> YOU SAID YOU THOUGHT THE POLICE NEEDED BETTER TRAINING,
DO YOU STAND BY THAT IN REFLECTION TODAY?
>> I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING NEW FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HERE
IN CHARLOTTESVILLE. THIS IS SOMETHING NEW FOR A LOT
OF US. THIS IS A WAKEUP CALL TO A LOT
OF PEOPLE WHO AREN'T WOKEN UP TO THE TYPE OF VIOLENCE THAT THIS
RACIST IDEOLOGY LEADS TO. COMMUNES OF COLOR HAVE BEEN
AWARE OF THE THREATS OF THIS FOR MANY YEARS.
BUT OTHER AMERICANS HAVE TO REALIZE THE NATURAL CONCLUSION
OF THIS TYPE OF IDEOLOGY IS VIOLENCE.
