Civil trial over deadly 'Unite the Right' extremist rally to begin in Charlottesville

 

More than four years after a white nationalist rally in Virginia turned deadly, jury selection began Monday in the federal civil trial against the organizers and some participants.

 

The civil lawsuit accuses more than two dozen defendants of conspiring to violate the rights of peaceful counterdemonstrators and commit racially motivated violence against nonwhite and Jewish people during the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017. 

 

The trial is expected to last at least four weeks, according to ABC News.

 

"The violence, suffering and emotional distress that occurred in Charlottesville was a direct, intended and foreseeable result of defendants' unlawful conspiracy," the lawsuit says. "It was all according to plan."

 

The far-right rally was organized in response to the planned removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.

 

Hundreds of Ku Klux Klan members, neo-Nazis and other white nationalists – some dressed in what looked like battle gear – marched through the University of Virginia campus wielding tiki torches and shouting racist and antisemitic chants. Violent clashes with counterprotesters broke out while authorities largely stood on the sidelines before police declared an unlawful assembly and forced the crowd to disperse.

 

James Alex Fields Jr. later drove his car into a crowd of peaceful counterprotesters. Heather Heyer, 32, a paralegal and civil rights activist, was killed, and nearly three dozen people were injured.

 

President Donald Trump sparked controversy after the rally when he said “both sides” were to blame for the violence.

 

Fields was convicted of murder and later sentenced to life in prison after pleading guilty to 29 federal hate crime charges. The Lee statue that sparked the rally has since been removed.

 

The civil lawsuit was filed by community members, some of whom were injured in the car attack, and funded by the nonprofit organization Integrity First for America.

 

The suit accuses the defendants of using private servers on Discord, an instant messaging platform designed for online gaming, to orchestrate the rally.

 

Attorneys for the defendants, including extremists Richard Spencer, Jason Kessler and Christopher Cantwell, argued that the online conversations were "lawful event planning," that they acted in self-defense, and that the rally was protected by the First and Second amendments.

 

The civil case has moved slowly over the past four years because of the large number of defendants, a lack of cooperation from some of them, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The lawsuit invokes a post-Civil War federal law from 1871 designed to prevent the Ku Klux Klan from denying Black Americans their civil rights that allows people to sue when they are injured by conspiracies.

 

The Charlottesville suit already has helped dismantle some of America's most well-known white supremacist groups, and it has financially crippled Spencer, once leader of the "alt-right," the white supremacist and nationalist movement that came to prominence under Trump.

I hate passive voice sentences. Fields was tried, convicted, and sentenced for killing Heather. No need to used that alleged language anymore.

 

James Alex Fields Jr. later drove his car into a crowd of peaceful counterprotesters, killing Heather Heyer, a paralegal and civil rights activist. He also injured three dozen people in that section of the crowd.

 

He killed her. She wasn't killed by some "was" thing.

A judge cut off Richard Spencer 3 times during his opening statement at the Charlottesville 'Unite The Right' trial

 

A federal judge cut off white nationalist Richard Spencer three times as he gave his opening statement Thursday at the civil trial for the organizers of the deadly 2017 "Unite the Right" rally.

 

Spencer is one of 25 defendants in a civil lawsuit brought against the organizers of the Charlottesville, Virginia, rally where James Alex Fields Jr. deliberately drove his car into a group of counterprotesters, killing Heather Heyer and injuring 35 other people.

 

The plaintiffs in the case are a group of nine Charlottesville residents and counter-protestors who were injured in the car attack and other instances of violence at the two-day rally. The plaintiffs allege in the lawsuit that the "Unite the Right" organizers conspired to incite violence, and are seeking compensatory and statutory damages for their injuries. caused to them.

Spencer is representing himself at trial because he can't pay attorney fees, according to the Associated Press.

 

During Spencer's opening statement, Judge Norman K. Moon first cut off the white nationalist when he said that he had never been arrested in relation to violence at the rally. Whether anyone was arrested was irrelevant because the plaintiffs brought a civil lawsuit, Moon said.

 

Moon cut Spencer off a second time when he began ranting about Black Lives Matter protests that took place in summer 2020, which he said "eventuated in vandalism, looting, violence," and "riots."

 

Spencer argued that BLM protests and the "Unite The Right" rally fall under the same umbrella of free speech, but Moon didn't allow him to finish the thought before admonishing him to "stick to the facts of this case."

 

Moon interrupted Spencer for a third and final time when the white nationalist started talking about what implications he thought his case would have on the concept of "justice." 

 

"We're not sending a message here," Moon told Spencer. "The question is, do the claimants prove what they must prove to hold the defendants liable?"

'Unite The Right' organizers discussed whether they could legally hit protesters with a car before the Charlottesville rally: testimony

 

The ex-girlfriend of a Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' rally organizer said some who coordinated the event discussed the legality of running over protestors before the rally.

 

The court played a video of Samantha Froelic's earlier recorded testimony in the 'Unite the Right' civil trial on Tuesday.

 

Froelich is the ex-girlfriend of Eli Mosley, a defendant in the case. Mosley, whose real name is Eli Kline, is a prominent neo-Nazi and the former head of the white supremacist group, Identity Evropa.

 

Froelich said in her testimony that Identity Evropa held multiple parties at the home of prominent white supremacist, Richard Spencer, at one of which some members of the group talked about the legality of running over counter-protesters.

 

Froelich said there was an idea "circulating" at the party that if someone was on their way to work "in North Carolina or in Virginia" and there was a protest taking place in the street, they could "hit the protester and the law would be on your side."

Spencer et al found liable.  Haha.

[PleaseBlitz]

Prominent white supremacists Richard Spencer, Jason Kessler and Christopher Cantwell and others engaged in a conspiracy to intimidate, harass or harm in advance of the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017, a jury has ruled.

 

The jury did not reach a verdict on two federal conspiracy charges, but did find that every defendant was liable for civil conspiracy under Virginia law.

 

The jury then awarded a total of $26 million in damages against the 12 individual defendants and five white nationalist organizations on trial. More than half that money is owed by James Fields, who is serving a life sentence for ramming into a crowd of counterprotesters with his car during the rally and killing Heather Heyer.

 

The 11 jurors needed only to find “a preponderance of the evidence,” rather than the higher bar of “beyond reasonable doubt” in criminal trials. But they deadlocked on two federal claims of a race-based conspiracy, while agreeing that there was a conspiracy under Virginia state law and that the victims were entitled to compensation.

Spotify’s Joe Rogan baselessly suggests white nationalist Patriot Front rally in DC was “fake” and put on by “the feds”

 

On the December 7 edition of his Spotify podcast, Joe Rogan baselessly suggested that a December 4 rally put on in Washington, D.C., by the white nationalist group Patriot Front was “fake” and claimed that it must have been put on by the “feds.” Rogan repeatedly justified his unfounded claim by pointing out that the attendees wore matching uniforms and were physically fit, saying, “First of all these guys are too slim. ... They’re all in shape. They’re all thin. They’re uniformly marching with flags. I’m like, there’s no way these ****ing idiots would be this organized.” 

 

In reality, more than 100 members of Patriot Front marched through downtown Washington, D.C., on December 4. Nevertheless, right-wing media and figures, along with Republican officials, claimed that the rally was fake, even asserting that the Patriot Front members were “just more movie characters.”

 

A Snopes fact check rated these claims as “false,” noting that the group’s leader “is a known far-right and fascist activist in the United States, and he was clearly visible and identifiable at the Dec. 4 National Mall rally,” and stating, “Claims that the event was faked or staged, by federal agents or actors, are entirely lacking in evidence, and are contradicted by the best available evidence.”

 

Nonetheless, Rogan continued his long-standing pattern of spreading right-wing lies and conspiracy theories on his Spotify podcast, asserting, “What the **** is this? Have you ever seen anything that looks more like feds? Tell me that doesn't look like feds.”

I think Donald Trump is obviously a false flag fed operation. 
 

I mean, can you imagine any real person being so cartoonish, stupid, and openly corrupt?  Dude is obviously a fictional character, designed to build a database of people who want to destroy the country.

Chula Vista man charged with anti-gay hate-crime attack on neighbor, hanging antisemitic banner

 

A Chula Vista man was charged Monday with a hate crime for allegedly attacking a neighbor last month while shouting homophobic slurs at the victim, according to prosecutors.

The suspect, 40-year-old Robert Frank Wilson, is also accused of working with a group of other people to hang an antisemitic banner on a freeway overpass Dec. 18 in San Diego.

 

Prosecutors allege Wilson used his vehicle to block his neighbor’s driveway, then got out of the vehicle and began yelling homophobic slurs at the victim. At one point, Wilson reached into the window of the victim’s vehicle and struck him in the face, the District Attorney’s Office contends.

 

On Dec. 18, the San Diego Police Department cited Wilson for allegedly working with other people to hang an antisemitic banner on an Interstate 805 overpass. The District Attorney’s Office said it is including that municipal code violation with the battery charge and hate-crime allegation against Wilson.

 

In the days after the banner was hung over the freeway, the Anti-Defamation League — one of the targets of the banner — blamed the incident on a “known neo-Nazi group” whose website was written on the banner. The ADL said the group is made up of “a small network of virulently antisemitic provocateurs” whose “overarching goal is to cast aspersions on Jews and spread antisemitic myths and conspiracy theories.”

Antifascist Action Against Patriot Front: An Anonymous Reportback On December 4th, 2021

 

On August 12th, 2017, thousands took to the streets after a neo-Nazi who marched alongside members of the white supremacist group Vanguard America, murdered antifascist Heather Heyer in the streets of Charlottesville. Over the next few days, colonial and Confederate statues were torn down, white nationalists were exposed in their communities and fired from their jobs, and subsequent Alt-Right rallies in Boston and the bay area were shut down by tens of thousands.

 

On December 4th, 2021, the re-branded Vanguard America, under the new name, Patriot Front, was openly mocked across the political spectrum after holding yet another unannounced rally with heavy police protection in Washington DC. The event ended as quickly as it had begun, yet as dozens of fascists waited for hours in the cold night to be picked up in a Uhaul, it was clear that something was wrong.

 

While many on social media initially reported this to be caused by either disorganization or simply being lost, we now can report it was the result of organized antifascist infiltration and direct action. The following anonymous communique, sent to It’s Going Down along with a link to a video recorded by Patriot Front themselves and made available through a collection of recently leaked chat logs from Unicorn Riot, reports on how antifascists disabled multiple cars and vans belonging to the neo-Nazi group, costing them thousands of dollars and throwing a wrench into the entire fascist mobilization.

 

While many on the Right have rushed to brand Patriot Front as “feds” in order to distance themselves from explicit white supremacists and Hitler worshipers, others, such as an “unofficial” Steve Bannon Telegram channel with 65K followers, have openly defended and promoted the group. This support, along with continued law enforcement protection at demonstrations, comes despite the fact that over the past several years, members of Patriot Front have carried out targeted acts of racist vandalism and intimidation against community centers, places of worship, and Black Lives Matter.
