James Alex Fields, Jr. is a guest of the county in Charlottesville. He is the man who drove his car into a crowd of counter-protesters and bystanders at a white separatist rally about 14 months ago. One person died in that mess.
In any event it seems that Fields got thumped by Timothy Brown, Jr. Allegedly Brown knew and was in the company of the dead woman when she was ploughed under by Fields.
Fields was not seriously injured. Depending on how you interpret the news articles Fields may have been under escort by custody staff when the attack occurred. Assuming that is true, somebody screwed the pooch or they need more observant staff.
Not that I give a fuck about Fields, but once you put someone in the slammer you have a duty to reasonably ensure their safety. The Albermarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail failed in that duty, or at least so it would appear.
