Tunnel vision is a known phenomenon when in fear. The only thing that makes sense to the individual in fleeing the immediate threat....damn the next step.I've been to Charolttesville at least 100 times. If afraid, one has tunnel vision and flees the immediate threat...not may places to flee in that part of the town.Dunno if you've ever been to Charlottesville, but it's not an easy place to get around. One ways, narrow streets, once you make a wrong turn you are going to have to go way out of your way to make your direction right...especially in the "mall" area...and all that without several groups of idiots demonstrating.Sure that's what he is going to say. You think he is going to say he did it on purpose to kill and hurt people? If that were the case he wouldn't have turned up on the sidewalk...
What may be the most tragic of all is this guy just got scared and had no other intent but to get away from a perceived threat.
So sad, any way it turns out.
It still doesn't make sense that he would drive up on a sidewalk full of people to get away from people.
But fleeing people by driving into more people doesn't make any sense. If someone is shooting at you, do you run towards the sound of the gun shots?
Who knows if that is what he thought, though.![]()
Yeah it just seems odd given what you said about the streets there. They said he was going over 40 mph when he hit the people and the back of another car.
