A former teacher of James Alex Fields, Jr., the man accused of ramming a car into a group of protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, on Sunday said Fields had a “fascination with Nazism.”
“It was obvious that he had this fascination with Nazism and a big idolatry of Adolf Hitler,” Derek Weimer, who said he taught Fields history in high school, told the Washington Post on Sunday.
Weimer told the Washington Post that Fields conducted a research project into the Nazi military during World War II which he described as a “big lovefest for the German military and the Waffen-SS.”
“He had white supremacist views,” Weimer said. “He really believed in that stuff.”
Fields was charged with second-degree murder and other counts on Saturday after a car plowed into protesters at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville. A 32-year-old woman was killed in the car attack and dozens of people were injured.
How ironic that Mr. Weimar was unable to hold off the adoption of Nazi beliefs among some of his students.
We really should shunt all radicalizable students into sections taught by Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Churchill. Mr. Chamberlain must be fired immediately.
Surprise, surprise! I wonder how many others among the white supremacists, NAZIs and KKKers in Charlottesville yesterday had similar “fascinations” while in high school, and where those ideas came from. Sort of like the fascination with Hitler by Trump who, based on reports by his first wife, kept a collection of Hitler speeches and a copy of Mein Kampf on his nightstand.
This should he a profound “heads up” to all of us.
But Mom never had the tiniest inkling.
Just a playful scamp with a “big lovefest for the German military and the Waffen-SS.”
Like any other all-American boy…
But the problem is “both sides” and particularly the violence of the Antifas black bloc idiots.
