The Alex Fields thing is a bit complicated. He was definitely overcharged, and doesn't deserve his current situation.
There was also a ton of misinformation from both sides, so it's hard for me to unequivocally declare him completely innocent, either. I simply don't know.
I think the fact that he mainly hit another car, and not the crowd, is a bit mark in his favor. He's either an incredibly incompetent terrorist, or not a terrorist.
His car was definitely attacked, but a lot of the videos have been removed, so it's hard to say if it was attacked before or after the incident. I'm thinking before, but you could definitely make the counterargument too.
Lastly, and most importantly perhaps, he was definitely threatened previously. A leftist professor or TA (forget which) bragged openly about waving a rifle in his face before the incident. So Alex Fields definitely had a fucking gun pointed at him some time before he sped into the car/crowd.

He got fucked with 29 Federal Hate Crime charges.
Yup. Like I said, definitely overcharged. Does not deserve that in the slightest.
If he did do wrong, and it wasn't panic/self defense, he should still be charges in line with other similar incidents.
It was absolutely political, even if he were definitely a murderer.
Rule of law means nothing, if it's not applied equally.
Who was in charge of the federal government that did that to him again?
