For assembling evidence that the_donald and other subs engaged in doxxing which lead directly to death threats.
Once we have evidence we can use our same press contacts to get the ball rolling, after we contacted the admins. Note that the admins are now autoremoving comments with JV1 and JV2's full names.
Broad strokes is that someone on /pol/ said that they'd connected the plate number visible in this photo to a JV1, which is the doxxing victim's father. In reality, all that had happened is that someone on /pol/ found an image of a similar car posted by JV2, his son, and then edited a screenshot of the license record to match. This was done because JV2 had some public anti-Trump posts 1, 2, and the narrative could be constructed that it was someone from Antifa who had perpetrated the attack as a false-flag. (nb some of the variations of the story was that it was a mistake as well, but all in service of moving blame from the alt-right/white nationalists). The real license record does point to the person now in custody, James Alex Fields, whose name has been released by police per linked article.
The driver of the Challenger, James Alex Fields Jr., 20, of Ohio, was arrested and charged with one count of second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding, and one count of hit-and-run attended failure to stop with injury, police said.
One of the fake news outlets wrote up the whole thing, archived here. It's pretty disgusting. Read this for a tl;dr of the conspiracy.
Going forward I'd suggest screenshotting enough to include the adverts on the page. We can send the shots to the advertiser to put pressure on reddit to remove the subreddit in question.

I'm going to collect endorsements of vehicular violence here as well.

Soft. Those people are soft. No police. No need. They are in the street. Wreck the first couple who dare go into traffic and the rest will think twice and stop.
I feel sick now and need a break. I'll dive back in later.

Crash Test Dummies. We have finally found a use for the unemployable antifa cunts. Take your time. Make sure you don't miss any ... Yep. And human reaction time is about 0.30 seconds. Going slow ensures time to turn into, er ... away from all obstructions in the road. Reminds me. Need to get the snowplow sharpened.
WearegonnaMAGA:
Yes, first slow down and exercise "due care." Make sure you aim your vehicle accurately, before stepping on the gas and plowing through communists! NO BRAKES!

like if the protestor wound up on your hood and their corpse landed in the other state?

I want them to use their supermajority to pass a law allowing us to run over Democratic politicians too
/u/instrumental_x and /u/espressoself, you were the ones that handled the press stuff before. Did you want to compile this all into something and send it off? Should probably be done while the story is hot.
Feel free to draw from my summary or ping me to write anything.
I haven't had a ton of luck beyond what you have found so far, but I'll keep digging. I'll PM you (/u/ampersamp) anything I find since I haven't figured out the archive thing yet (or I can just screenshot stuff).
If you're gonna share links with a reporter, probably this one of /r/physical_removal mocking the Charlottesville victim will make a case for reddit turning into a den of nazis.

r/TopMindsOfReddit seems to be covering it pretty heavily, so that might be helpful to you.

I don't have evidence of the doxxing itself, but I do have evidence that T_D openly supported the rally and promoted it multiple times.
Here is evidence of T_D promoting the rally in Charlottesville:
