James Fields, the white supremacist who drove his car into a group of protesters and killed 32-year-old Heather Heyer following the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA, has pleaded guilty to 29 federal hate crime charges, the Justice Department announced on Wednesday.

According to the DOJ, Fields pleaded guilty to “one count of a hate crime act that resulted in the death of Heather Heyer, and 28 counts of hate crime acts that caused bodily injury and involved an attempt to kill other people within the crowd.” He was already found guilty on state charges of first degree murder this past December.

“In the aftermath of the mass murder in New Zealand earlier this month, we are reminded that a diverse and pluralistic community such as ours can have zero tolerance for violence on the basis of race, religion, or association with people of other races and religions,” Attorney General William Barr said a Justice Department statement. “Prosecuting hate crimes is a priority for me as Attorney General. The defendant in this case has pleaded guilty to 29 hate crimes which he committed by driving his car into a crowd of protesters. These hate crimes are also acts of domestic terrorism.”

Before running over Heyer and other protesters at the Charlottesville rally, Fields was photographed standing with a shield that prominently featured the logo of the “Vanguard America” hate group.

Hopefully, this will take this particular piece of trash out of the gene pool.
