Trial begins for ‘far-right’ organizers of deadly 2017 Charlottesville rally

[IsraelTimes] Civil damages suit filed by residents of Virginia city says those who arranged ’Unite the Right’ gathering planned violence in advance and came prepared.
A civil trial began on Monday of the organizers of a far-right rally four years ago in Charlottesville, Virginia, that left one person dead and 19 injured.
The lawsuit against the organizers seeking financial damages was filed by residents of the Virginia city impacted by the violence that accompanied the gathering.
The "Unite the Right" rally was held to protest municipal plans to remove a statue of General Robert E. Lee, who commanded the Army of Northern Virginia for the pro-Slavery South during the 1861-65 American Civil War.
It began with a march on the evening of August 11 by neo-Nazi
 ...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both....

Clashes broke out the next day and a white nationalist drove his car into a crowd of counter-demonstrators, killing a 32-year-old woman, Heather Heyer.

...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
came under fire when he said afterward that there were "very fine people on both sides" of the protests.
Among the parties to the suit are four people who were hurt in the car attack.
Defendants in the suit are two dozen "individuals and organizations that conspired to plan, promote, and carry out the violent mostly peaceful events in Charlottesville."
"There is one thing about this case that should be made crystal-clear at the outset — the violence in Charlottesville was no accident," the complaint says. "Defendants spent months carefully coordinating their efforts on the internet and in person."
"Defendants brought with them to Charlottesville the imagery of the Holocaust, of slavery, of Jim Crow, and of fascism
 ...a political system developed in Italy, symbolized by the Roman fasces -- thin reeds, each flimsy in itself but unbreakable when bound into a bundle. Its distinguishing philosophical feature is the Corporate State, which is the alliance of big business and labor with the government in service to the all-powerful State. The word is nowadays thrown around by all sorts of oddballs who have no idea what they're talking about...
," the complaint says. "They also brought with them semiautomatic weapons, pistols, mace, rods, armor, shields, and torches."
The organizers have rejected the charges, claiming self-defense, and argue that they were merely exercising their First Amendment rights to free speech.
Jury selection began on Monday. The trial is expected to last several weeks.
Anti-racism groups have previously used civil litigation to target bully boy groups in the United States and force them into bankruptcy.
