In this video it looks like no one was around him at the beginning. It appears he headed straight towards a group of people at high speeds, no horn, indiscriminately.
Amazing how this vid was left OUT by the OP

You mentioned the white polo shirt he is wearing in the car. Have you not found it odd he is wearing a black and white shirt in his mugshot?
I think mugshots are taking pretty soon after you come in as part of the booking session. Before you are given prison cloths I think, but may be wrong

Well i'm still waiting for evidence that he was a WS or a Nazi. Official sources are awfully quiet to confirm that Alex Fields was in fact a WS or a Nazi. I'm reading a lot of comments claiming that but they all have no answer for that question that is also backed up by official sources. Interesting.

I knew someone else would put it in and figured out I was running out of space. It is in the thread, but it still doesn't necessarily prove or disprove anything...

Right. You are just arguing from your gut because you want to defend a Nazi. It's plain as day. (go on, keep insulting my intelligence and watch me get nastier).

First, not defending anyone. Let's get that out of the way.
A few things that bug me about this is, why did the guy hit the breaks before impact if he wanted to mow down people? Brake lights are lit up in the video thumbnail. Why try to stop if you're trying to kill people?
Look at the people left and right of the street, he could have easily taken out way more with a slight turn of the wheel before the final impact. Hell that dude in New York straight up drove on the sidewalk.
Another thing I noticed is one person ("counter protester" I assume) whacks his car with a bat. Hard to telling from this video but he seems to gun it after that.
Like I said, Not defending anyone, just some things I noticed that don't make sense if this guy was out to kill a bunch of people.
Have the police made a statement about this yet?

1) In no way am I supporting Nazi, white nationalists beliefs. For the record, I think they are basement dwelling scum bags.
Without fail, every time I read a disclaimer like this, it is followed by a justification for what they have done.
It's the ole' "I'm not racist but I think the blacks are _______"

The guy had two full blocks to change his mind and turn down a side street where there were no crowds of people marching.
There's a video showing the car racing down the street for two blocks (where there were no crowds of people marching), flying by side streets (again, where there were no crowds of people marching), and continuing on at high speed until finally plowing into the crowd.
Then the driver slams the car into reverse, and again tromps on the gas fleeing the scene in reverse, far enough back (roughly another 2 blocks back again) to take off down a side street and make his escape.
Why would the driver be scared for his life when he was two blocks away where there were no crowds of people in the area where he originally tromped on the gas pedal to pick up speed ?

What's that saying that keeps popping up on Game of Thrones?
"Everything before the word 'but' is horse#."

Gee, ya think?
However, I am not really buying this guy just decided to randomly run down protesters until presented evidence to show the contrary.
That's what investigations are for.
Personally, I think the video taken from behind that shows him not braking and driving in a straight line towards the crowd is going to be the biggest obstacle for his defense. If he was scared of something that happened why would he drive towards a mass of people down the street instead of backing up away from them when the street was relatively sparsely populated?

A DOJ investigation has been opened. Their investigation will be thorough and hopefully justice will prevail.
I sure would like to see a visual looking back from the opposite direction. All we have is somebody's phone video of him driving toward a crowd. How do we know what was going on around him just before the impact. How do we know whether or not someone had brandished a gun at him or not. Have you ever looked out at someone pointing the barrel of a gun at you? He could have panicked if he was trying to get away and someone was chasing him.
Maybe there is video from a different vantage point, so we can see who was around his car and what they were doing.
