Charlottesville, Virginia (CNN)A jury has awarded more than $26 million in damages after finding the White nationalists who organized and participated in a violent 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, liable on a state conspiracy claim and other claims.
The jury in the federal civil trial said Tuesday it could not reach a verdict on two federal conspiracy claims. The violence during the Unite the Right rally turned the Virginia city into another battleground in America's culture wars and highlighted growing polarization. It was also an event that empowered White supremacists and nationalists to demonstrate their beliefs in public rather than just online. The first federal conspiracy claim was the most prominent against the defendants because it alleged the defendants conspired to commit racially motivated violence while the second alleged the defendants had knowledge of a conspiracy and failed to prevent it.

But what investigation of police and city actions were brought up in the trial?
That jackass is anything but of the right. I’m very glad that they’ve been fined.
So what are they going to charge Pantifa with? Misdemeanor loitering?
The Heaphy Report was not allowed to be entered into evidence by the prosecution. Turns out Kaplan also had an existing relationship with the judge’s clerks, and was giving them money during the trial.
And nary a BLM’er will ever be charged for conspiracy.
The FBI can easily afford that. I’m sure all members of this group work for them or some other federal agency
The whole thing was a staged show.
Not much, the Heaphy report was not admissible evidence.
Hopefully they’ll appeal.
It was staged, and nothing much said about it can be believed.
Do you believe there are young white males in this country who hate anyone who isn't white simply due to the color of their skin?
They really have no reason not to.
One violent riot out of 500 is prosecuted.
Two systems of justice.
Why are you linking to CNN? Whether you like CNN or hate CNN, it makes money with every click.
This is a very dangerous decision, if it is used as a precedent.
About to make a judgment against years worth of “mostly peaceful” Leftwing trash aaaaany day now.
Any day.
Yep.
why hasn’t anyone sued Black Lies Matter, Antifa, and others for the damage and death in all the riots?
Because the story I had was from US Today and that forbids even excerpting. FR had no mention of this story and I thought is was important. So it was either CNN or Al Jazzera.
