then he turns around like he's gonna leave but then he comes back and tries to jump over the counter."as she calls 911, her coworker goes from ice cream slinger to dishing up 31 flavors of kung fu ... throwing punches and kicks...all while holding the suspect's knife...."he's very intent on getting that money. he doesn't care if the clerk has the knife or not."as the two continue to battle it out, the thief finally finally grabs a grand total of 6 bucks from the register before bolting out the door with the clerk hot on his heels."not the brightest robbery guy but he is dangerous."fortunately, neither employee was injured. police have the suspect's huge knife in evidence and they never advise taking on a robbery suspect, leslie is grateful she wasn't alone.

(justine) a man who drove his car into a crowd of counter protesters at a white nationalist rally in charlottesville, virginia has been convicted of first-degree murder.(jrs) the jury rejected arguments by defense lawyers that james fields jr. had acted in self-defense. reporter kaylee hartung has reaction from those who survived. the self-professed neo-nazi who barreled his car into a crowd protesting a white nationalist rally in charlottesville, virginia was convicted friday of first-degree murder and all other charges brought against him. tanesha hudson, local activist, counterprotestor i thank every last one of those jurors for doing what they needed to do. they made the choice to express to the world, like, we don't stand for this type of hate. at all. a jury took just over seven hours of deliberation to find james alex fields jr guilty of heather heyer's murder, eight counts of malicious wounding and one count of failing to stop at an accident involving a death. he faces a possible life sentence of life in prison. through a week of testimony, prosecutors and defense attorneys focused on

fields' intent. the commonwealth argued that fields was unprovoked and acted with the intent to harm counterprotestors when he idly watched the crowd before him, backed up his dodge challenger, then raced it down the street, reaching 28mph before crashing and fleeing the scene. the defense didn't deny he drove the car, but said he was in a state of panic and acted in self- defense. a jailhouse phone call from fields to his mother recorded in march was played in court. in it, fields said that he was defending himself from "a violent mob of terrorists." but those calls revealed more about fields bill burke was 1 of the 35 people injured in the attack. the most chilling pieces to me jailhouse phone calls to his mom, the way he was talking to his mother, the way he called heather's mom susan an anti- white communist, called us all terrorists and said we were the enemy and it was no big deal heather died because she's the enemy that just told me everything i need to know about the kind of person he is. on august 12, 2017 burke and heather heyer were among those demonstrating against the "unite the right" rally as so-called alt-right activists, chanting racist slogans, some carrying guns

and flags with swastikas and confederate emblems marched on this college town. fields drove more than 500 miles from ohio to participate. his attack turned an already bloody, violent and hate- filled day deadly. there was widespread anger and outragei have a message to all white supremacists and nazis plain and simple go home you are not welcome, not wanted shame on you. then "i think there is blame on both sides" president trump's refusal to condemn the racist attack in its immediate aftermath, further inflammed the national conversation. just because he was found guilty this is not over. this is just the start to let people know don't think you can come here and do this type of thing and get away with it. we won't have it.
