into a group of counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017, killing one and injuring dozens, was sentenced Friday to life in prison on federal hate crime charges.hate crime charges in March in a plea deal to avoid the death penalty for murdering civil rights activist Heather Heyer and injuring more than 30 others when he intentionally mowed them down on a side street with his car on Aug. 12, 2017.
Prosecutors said they were told Fields was"like a kid at Disney World" during that trip. They had earlier said that Fields had revered Adolf Hitler, keeping a picture of him next to his bed. "No amount of punishment imposed on James can repair the damage he caused to dozens of innocent people. But this Court should find that retribution has limits," defense attorneys wrote in a sentencing memo.
Very good ppl ... on both sides. Sighs...
Now we have to pay for this bastard for the rest of his life.
He is a poster child for the death penalty.
Good. Hopefully this guy will never set foot outside of prison. Now do the group assault by antifa of the single journalist who was punched, stalked and had a cement milkshakes thrown on him. Why so quiet NBC?
YES! JUSTICE! THANK YOU! NEXT!
He thought he was being a smart azz that day now he looks like a deer in head lights
There’s a vote trump won’t get👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Now we can spend 75k a year to keep this animal in a cage. He should be run over by his own car.
I’m not white, but I am a nationalist
One of 45 fine ppl 🥴
Good, sad he didn't get the death penalty.
Another trumpster Behind Bars 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This unfortunately does bring Heather back but I hope it gives her family some peace and feelings that justice has been served.
Look at that fine specimen of white Aryan right there!
Too bad we can't irradicate this disease. These people don't deserve to live.
Enjoy your stay!
How many more of these killer Nazi goons are still running wild around the country stirring up hatred or as Trump described them-good people
Hopefully he spends the rest of his rotten life doing this
Only Solitary Confinement would be fitting!!!!!
Good. Goodbye racist!
That's too good for him. He deserved to forfeit his own life for what he did! Truth!
His hate will cause him to spend the rest of life in jail ☹️☹️😢
Racists and their crew neck undershirts...smh.
Good
Good.
One of Trump's 'good people?' WhiteHouse SenateGOP CNN
Probably not enough.
Guess the jury didn’t agree that there were “very fine people” on both sides...
Neo Nazis attacked a journalist just now in Portland!!! Beat him!
K_JeanPierre realDonaldTrump Very fine people? Huh? Guess you and I disagree with yet another thing. But that's probably because you are an awful human being.
That is what hate gets you. Nothing good.
One of the fine people?
White supremacists convicted of hate crimes should not be put in prison with black people. That is cruel and inhumane to the countless black men for whom the criminal justice system failed and a treat to a known racial terrorist.
He will get a pardon from Trump.
This type of hatred needs to stop.
Not enough! He placed no value on the lives he drove his car over. He ended that ladies life! His should End!
justice
At least the jury could see what our own President couldn’t
Praying
And. His lawyers requested compassion for that useless ... You know what? I'll leave that kind of talk to them. Sorry for even bringing it up.
Such a waste of oxygen
Comes w all the free white power tats he’ll ever want.
Such fluffy and soft skin. The other kids will all want to be friends with him where he’s going.
YAY!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Justice.
What a waste of taxpayers money!!! He should’ve had the same treatment he deserved when he ran over the poor girl !
Enjoy prison, Baby Face.
If it’s federal then Trump will commute his sentence.
Yay!
This is nice and all, but believe me, if Heather was a Black girl, he would have gotten probation.
Laws against racism need real teeth.
Is that what you call it when someone intentionally runs over another person with their car?!?! A car wreck?!?!
ReaganGomez
Perhaps 45 will visit this 'fine' person in prison
Watch Trump pardon him...
Don't be surprised if Trump says something about pardoning him.
See ya.
Deadman walking (in general population).
illbedamed I hope he stays alive a long time.
He will sew that hatred in prison now. God rest her soul.
Good.
K_JeanPierre YES!
Yay!!!
Looks like they got a long-term Arian punk to rape
Waiting for a Trump pardon perhaps
Adios MF!
Now he regrets it. To late.
Trump said it was “good people ok both sides” right ? Hate Never Wins
He's going to love it in fed prison! There are a few waiting for him right now! Hang in there buddy, Trump will be there with ya in a couple years!
Not long enough for this misguided racist should be charged as a coconspirator with your trump
Maybe DerangedDonnie will pardon him.
So, when does Trump pardon him? 🤷♂️
ResistsMiranda Best news!
Trump will probably pardon him!
BreeNewsome Too soft a punishment.
JLustwerk Good riddance.
Stay outraged my friends.
Was that the rally where Antifa and white supremacists were seen getting off of the same buses, and talking/laughing together?
👍
Justice.
Yes !!!👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻
that is only fair. he had the right to march, protest and disagree with Heather Meyers, but he did not have the right to kill her.
Why didn’t you call him a Nazi 45 supporter like he really is?
May HeatherHeyer rest is peace.
Great news!!!
Hope another trumplike President doesn’t decide to pardon him in 10-20 years. If trump and his followers think he’s “good people” today...God knows what America’s laws and people will be like then.
Justice finally for Heather. RIP
K_JeanPierre Well here comes trump's next pardon attempt because this guy is one of the good guys as far as trump is concerned.
Good! I hope he is never paroled.
BreeNewsome tariqnasheed Ogun
I will be a millionaire by 2025, and I will be a billionaire by 2050. If no one puts up a statue of Heather by then I will put one up in place of one of the old confederate ones in South Carolina.
And the countdown to Trump defending him begins now...
BreeNewsome Ogun
Justice for Heather Heyer.
K_JeanPierre Finally, some good news today. justiceforHeather
Thoughts and prayers....but mainly:good riddance!
K_JeanPierre
Hate crime charges! I don’t hope for his death in prison. That’s a free card out of jail. He needs to stay in there and suffer every single day.
K_JeanPierre Good
I think this is one case where he should have been put to death! He was trying to kill many not Heather Heyer only. The intent was mass-murder; he wanted to kill all he saw and drove his auto into them.
I forget: Is this “one of the god people...” realDonaldTrump talks about. I lose track with all of HIS people who are going to jail.
Finally some justice. I hope he rots.
Trump: 'If I pardoned him while I'm in Japan would that count?'
RickPetree Please let him have a big roommate named Bubba. And Bubba has anger issues.
And given the death penalty for wearing a crew neck t-shirt with an open top collared shirt... ✋✋✋✋Don't leave me hanging JesseThorn
How you gonna be a part white of supremacy yet you kill your own race which is white.
Will trump pardon him now?
Good
What evidence is there that makes him labeled as a 'white supremacist'? A white man killing a white woman?
And the Republican President Donald Trump said they’re good ppl on both sides! The Fu..ken hatred by Donald towards certain Americans is pure Evil!!
Yes-but he will be treated like a king by the white supremacists who thrive in jails. We can hope that he comes face to face with others who will challenge his thinking.
Finally, someone is held accountable!
How long before Trump gives them a pardon, after all, he’s one of his boys!
heretoresisthim Where was he radicalized 🤔
Good.
Was a supporter of Biden can check my Twitter feed however is spokeswoman Kate B making the comments on MSNBC how bussing was a failure couples with everything else is the last straw fired
