As reported by The Huffington Post:
New rules implemented on Twitter Monday have led to the suspensions of accounts belonging to prominent neo-Nazis, white nationalists and other far-right extremists.
[...] "You may not make specific threats of violence or wish for the serious physical harm, death, or disease of an individual or group of people," states Twitter's rule for "violent extremist groups," which went into effect Monday.
"This includes, but is not limited to, threatening or promoting terrorism," the rule continues. "You also may not affiliate with organizations that – whether by their own statements or activity both on and off the platform – use or promote violence against civilians to further their causes."
[...] The "alt-right ― a loose association of neo-Nazis, white nationalists, assorted racists, fascists, and other far-right elements that has used Twitter for years to organize and recruit ― anticipated today's "purge," with many preparing to make the jump to Gab, a largely rules-free micro-blogging platform used primarily by white nationalists.

Uh... you can't really argue that he didn't unprovoked drive into a bunch of protesters, which had the direct result of one person dying and several injured. Whether the protesters where antifa nutters, alt-right nutters, religious nutters or any other variety of nutter (or even non-nutter) doesn't change the fact that the driving nutter is a cold-blooded asshat who is a menace to civilized society. I mean, have you even looked at a video [youtube.com]?!
As for the defence of "[his car was] set upon with ball bats and iron bars"; after someone's maliciously run people over that's a lame fucking ass excuse of a defence. You live by the sword you die by the fucking sword. I would morally have no problem with him being lynched then and there in response to his action. And I'd say the same if the roles were reversed and the driver was antifa and the crowd alt-right. It's fucked up, that's what it is. Sides don't play into that part.

Very little is proven or even known about the incident. A car hit some people, and an onlooker died of a heart attack.
No one has of yet provided evidence of any intent (flight, accident, assault, murder). If the intent had been premeditated murder, cars are capable of driving fast enough to do so, which it clearly was not as the people he hit were only bruised.

Nor can you argue that Antifa staged an illegal, violent protest, with the result that a woman died. Paint it black, and your Antifa are just as black as anyone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InRDF_0lfHk [youtube.com]
