Torch-carrying marchers indicted over 2017 Charlottesville rally
Rantburg’s archives contain a much more truthful description of the events of that day here.
[IsraelTimes] Parade through campus by white nationalists, some of whom chanted ’Jews will not replace us,’ came a day before deadly Unite the Right protest

Nearly six years after a large gathering of “white nationalists”
...scare quotes mine — some of those so-called “white nationalists” were Black, many were there to protest Antifa acting on the Progressive project to erase American history, protected by Progressive multibillionaire-funded Democratic Party politicians and district attorneys...
in Charlottesville erupted in violent mostly peaceful festivities 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 August 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."
“You will not replace us,” actually, aimed at the Antifa Black Bloc cadres, but that doesn’t sound nearly as scary.
Commonwealth’s Attorney James Hingeley
...another of the Soros stable of Progressive city/county/state prosecutors protecting criminals and vicious far left “activists” from prosecution by the legal system...
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 August 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 counterprotesters, 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 US president Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
set off a firestorm of criticism when he said there were "very fine people on both sides" of the festivities between white nationalists and anti-racist demonstrators in Charlottesville.
He also bluntly repudiated neo-Nazis and white supremacists, but the Ay Pee journalist conveniently forgets that little fact.

#1 The famous Beria quote: "Show me the man, I'll show you the crime"

Lavrentiy Beria, the most ruthless and longest-serving secret police chief in Joseph Stalin’s reign of terror in Russia and Eastern Europe, bragged that he could prove criminal conduct on anyone, even the innocent.

Felony charges for carrying a tiki-torch peacefully in the street, seven years ago, because the government doesn't like what some of the people were saying. The County claims it is part of an " ongoing investigation" lasting over six years. Classic STASI intimidation tactic by a Soros-Progressive/
