You're losing the race war white supremacists. Gettng you asses kicked and we aren't even using guns.
A federal jury in Virginia awarded victims of violence stemming from a 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Va., more than $25 million on Tuesday, after finding prominent white-supremacist leaders and groups liable under state law for injuries suffered during a torchlight march and Unite the Right event.
Among the individual and organizational defendants found liable were Jason Kessler, the primary organizer of the Unite the Right rally; Richard B. Spencer, considered a founder of the insurgent white-supremacist movement known as the alt-right; and James Fields Jr., who was sentenced to life in prison for killing a woman when he drove into a crowd of counterprotesters.
The jury also held responsible several other white-supremacist groups whose members promoted and participated in the rallies, including the National Socialist Movement, Vanguard America and League of the South.
Amy Spitalnick, executive director of Integrity First for America, a nonprofit civil-rights organization funding the lawsuit, said the plaintiffs sought to recover enough money to bankrupt those at the center of the movement
“These judgments underscore the major financial, legal, and operational consequences for violent hate,” she said Tuesday.
