First: Rest in peace to those who lost their lives in yesterday's Charlottesville protest-turned-racial massacre.


The image that has been captured as a result of yesterday's event is one in which James Alex Fields, Jr. :pacspit: drove his car through a barrage of counter-protesters who were protesting on the streets.


Here's the pic:

As you can see, a black man is seen being ran over by that Nazi's Dodge Charger.

But there's a very romantic and chivalrous story involving that breh. The man's name is Marcus Martin. He was a 26-year old counter-protester who was marching the streets with his fiancée Marissa Blair, 27, and their friends.

As reported in the article:
"When a Dodge Challenger suddenly rammed into the crowd, Martin didn't hesitate to push his bride-to-be out of the way, resulting in him being hit by the accelerating vehicle.

Martin was photographed in mid-air seconds after he saved Blair's life, and other photos reveal that when the car backed up over him, his shoe was dragged off.

Amazingly, Martin survived the 'intentional' car crash but sustained a broken leg in the horrific incident, as Blair live-streamed the entire event on Facebook."

Mr. Martin's fiancee:
'We were saying, "Whose streets? Our streets!" and just having a good time. We were right at the intersection, deciding to go right or left. We went left.

'We hear a commotion from the top of the street. It happened so fast. I felt myself shoved out of the way. [Martin] had pushed me out of the way.

'It was so fast. All he could think was to push me. He saved me then he was under the car. I checked myself and then immediately thought, where's Marcus?

'I started looking where the car had hit people. I saw his hat had blood all over it but he wasn't there. I found him with no blood on him.


'We were taken to the hospital and I overheard someone say that the heavyset woman who they were doing CPR on had died.


'My fiancé pushed me out the way. He got hit, his leg is broke. We're alive. I lost a good friend today.

'Everyone has an opinion, but we were out there spreading love and not allowing hate groups to terrorize our city! Our country!!

'The only person is wrong is the person behind that wheel. Feel what you do, but spread LOVE today. Spread LOVE everyday. Promote LOVE. Send LOVE out to the universe.'"


The couple got engaged in February after dating a little more than a year.
