Charlottesville: As Loud As A Bomb
“I felt terrorized. I didn’t realize it until I walked onto the street, as I was walking away from everything, I stepped onto the street and I had to cross traffic. I saw a car on the street, and my heart started pumping fast again, and I realized that every car on the street is a weapon. I was scared, and I realized that I had been involved in a terrorist attack. That’s a terrifying feeling. It’s an awful feeling, because it’s not like I can avoid automobiles on the road. I realized I’m going to have to be conscious of that going forward — that there is a fear. This will probably manifest in some other way.
“That’s when I went to a friend’s apartment and got some water and had some air conditioning and was able to start editing the photos. The apartment was quiet. Everyone was just shellshocked. Nobody was talking. Everybody was looking at news trying to figure out what happened. Everybody in that apartment was just glued to their screens. There was about seven people, and there was no conversation.”
Saturday in Charlottesville was another dark day in Southern history. Bitter Southerner contributor Pat Jarrett was only 10 feet away when a white supremacist rammed his car into a crowd of protesters.
