Torch-carrying marchers indicted in Charlottesville rally
They really screwed up that headline.
I think it should say "Torch-carrying rally marchers indicted in Charlottesville"
via NBC29.com
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Nearly six years after a large gathering of white nationalists in Charlottesville erupted in violent clashes with counterprotesters, 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.

I posted a write up yesterday about this in Editorials and Other Articles by Molly Conger https://www.democraticunderground.com/1016349526
Molly does an incredible amount of research on fascists and often has information on twitter before it hits the mainstream. https://twitter.com/socialistdogmom
She is now writing articles about these facists and is publishing them on a webpage https://the-devils-advocates.ghost.io/
As an aside I've met and scritched Otto and Buck, her doggies.
