Charlottesville rally organizers ordered to pay $26 million in damages - Washington Examiner

and I bet no one ever forces them to actually pay. As we have seen many times before, angry white conservatives are never held accountable for their actions. They suspended sentences and fines that no one bothers to collect.

And now here comes the usual crowd of closet nazis on Anandtech to defend their actions.......

Jury finds Unite the Right defendants liable for more than $26 million in damages | CNN

Unite the Right rally organizers found liable for violating Virginia conspiracy statute; plaintiffs are awarded millions in damages.

www.cnn.com

The events surrounding August 11-12, 2017, saw White nationalists and supremacists marching through Charlottesville and the University of Virginia campus chanting, "Jews will not replace us," "You will not replace us" and "Blood and soil," a phrase evoking Nazi philosophy on ethnic identity.

The violence -- which enveloped the rally to protest the planned removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee -- reached a crescendo when James Alex Fields Jr., who was protesting the statue's removal, sped his car through a crowd of counterprotesters, injuring dozens and killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

Half of the $24 million in punitive damages awarded were against Fields. In addition, the jury awarded punitive damages against Kessler, Spencer and Cantwell at $700,000 each, and Heimbach for $500,000.

Despite the large jury award, there's the question of whether the plaintiffs will see much of that money. Fields is serving multiple life sentences. Some of the other defendants -- individuals and White supremacist organizations -- have indicated they are financially stressed.

Ez, gofundme will hook them up. Fields is in jail for life, not sure how they think he's gonna cough up 12 million.

While full recovery is highly unlikely, the plaintiffs should be able to get a lien on the defendants' future earnings.

It will also send a message for future shitheads. We will come after your ass.

Anyone want to bet Trump's DOJ wouldn't have taken this case. I may start a poll.

This way their broke asses will stay broke forever.

Pretty much wiped out the idiots in Idaho a couple decades ago. Aryan Nations ring a bell?

Or, they could be like my grandchildren's daddy...He has fathered over a dozen kids by nearly as many women over the years. As soon as the child support people come knocking, he changes jobs...or works strictly cash jobs. I never heard about him paying a single dollar in support for any of the kids.

Hit'um where it hurts real bad. I hope the IRS is going to be a very large and ever looming presence in their future. Sic'um boys. I do hope personal assets are in play here.

Ever see that field on your credit report about civil leins and judgements? Think they'll be able to get a new mobile home mortgage? Or new truck loan?

Are protest organizers always responsible for any violence that springs up?
What about looting and arson? Asking for a friend any major US city. Maybe they have some folks to go after for the riots since last summer.

When you ideology specifically promotes eradication of inferior person and violence overall, I'd say yes. If you can pinpoint specific BLM leaders that promote rioting, go for it. Until then, take your JAQ'ing off elsewhere, unless you like defending Nazi's.

Defend? You are mistaken. The precedence this established is for the purpose of attacking.

Democrats have used it against Republicans.
A turnabout is just fair play.

those were also rightwing terrorists like the Proud Boys and such that caused the violence. You know that, right? I mean, you don't have to trust me. That's on the record of Trump's own justice department. Arrest records are public knowledge.

The Charlottesville Nazis were outside instigators that organized an intentionally violent rally. The local, ostensibly peaceful BLM protests were inundated by outside rightwing jihadist terrorists that brought violence with them.

Notice the trend?

Again, this is publicly available knowledge. Local law enforcement (many of whom also instigated while off-duty), also keep these records.

It's not used against republicans. It's used against violent, extremist, rightwing theocratic terrorists. If republicans and violent theocratic terrorists are easily confused for you, well, that's sort of the current zeitgeist, isn't it? I think it's intentional on the part of the GQP

I wouldn't blame anyone for confusing those groups.

They are if they're black.
Or white liberals.
Or white conservatives who live in San Francisco.

Yawnworthy. Nice to see you return to your roots. good job!

JAQing off about a nazi rally is akin to defending it.

I don't think Jaskalas is even capable of comprehending what he's doing at this point. He's returned to his tribal roots.
