Charlottesville Tiki Torchers charged with "burning w/intent to intimidate"

Didn't even know intimidatingly burning a tiki torch was a crime

https://www.vpm.org/npr-news/2023-04...y-are-indicted

RICHMOND, Va. — Nearly six years after a large gathering of white nationalists in Charlottesville erupted in violent clashes with counter-protesters, a grand jury in Virginia has indicted multiple people on felony charges for carrying flaming torches with the intent to intimidate.

The Albemarle County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office said in a news release that the indictments relate to an event on Aug. 11, 2017. That's when a group of white nationalists carrying torches marched through the campus of the University of Virginia, some chanting, "Jews will not replace us."

Commonwealth's Attorney James Hingeley did not say in the release how many people have been indicted and did not immediately return a call and email seeking comment on Tuesday. According to electronic court records, the indictments against three people have been unsealed, including William Zachary Smith, of Nacona, Texas; Tyler Bradley Dykes, of Bluffton, South Carolina; and Dallas Medina, of Ravenna, Ohio.

Each is charged with a single count of burning an object with the intent of intimidating a person or group of people. The charge carries a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison.

Smith's attorney, Cody Villalon, declined to comment when reached by phone Tuesday. Dykes and Medina do not have the name of any attorneys listed in electronic court records.

The indictments, which were issued in February but only recently unsealed, come almost six years after violence broke out during two days of demonstrations by the largest gathering of white nationalists in a decade.

Clashes began on the night of Aug. 11, 2017, during the torch march, and continued the following day, when a "Unite the Right" rally was planned. James Alex Fields Jr., a white supremacist from Maumee, Ohio, rammed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing one woman and injuring dozens. Fields is serving a life sentence for murder and hate crimes.

Prosecutors said the indictments were issued "as part of a criminal investigation that is active and ongoing," adding they work with law enforcement to investigate, analyze applicable laws, and bring charges "when appropriate."

"This is our process regardless of how much time has passed or where the alleged offenders may be found," they said.

Former President Donald Trump set off a firestorm of criticism when he said there were "very fine people on both sides" of the clashes between white nationalists and anti-racist demonstrators in Charlottesville.

Paid for by Soros to get the ratards out for optics.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) reports that Jason Kessler, the organizer of last Saturday’s white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, is rumored to be a former Occupy Wall Street activist and supporter of Barack Obama.

Being blatantly racist isn't cool, but it's weird how they're charging dudes 6 years later for just that. It comes off as someone having to deep search and find some oddball law from colonial times still on the books. Why charge them 6 years afterward? The one way enforcement is definitely clown world. Meanwhile arson, destruction, looting - meh.

It's clear those guys are racist buffoons and they need to get a f'n life.
But isn't there some sort of statute or limitations on intimidation. Genuinely curious.

I agree. I've always maintained that the KKK should have a right to say whatever they want, even if I think they are idiots.

We used to fight for that stuff. Now.. radical progressivists and a power hungry government want to move away from the notions of individual liberties and rights.

Lol @ the article, cot dayum, imagine being so evil you well know Trump referred to the protesting local citizens (who are actually decent) and pretending theyre neo nazis just for some political points. Cot dayum, thats next level creep.
