2:03 am
here. really. peaceful given tensions are currently in the united states as the opposing demonstrators throughout the city clashes quickly broke out. here on the street. protesters. reversed. and killing. five more are still in critical condition the driver of a car fled the scene but he hasn't course since been arrested and identified as twenty year old james fields of ohio he's being charged with second degree murder that attack is being characterized as terrorism by many people here what terrorism is is the use of violence to incite terror and fear and of course it was to present afterward the attack did condemn the violence egregious display of hatred bigotry
