Jury awards millions in damages for Unite the Right violence

Unfortunately, I think extremist violence will only increase. There are powerful players and voices who benefit from right wing grievance and hatred, including (but not limited to) Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump and Jr., the current GOP, and Vladimir Putin.

Pay up suckers!

Unfortunately, I think extremist violence will only increase.

When you lump in “every” white person that is not a liberal under the same umbrella as a White supremacist you will see a growing backlash and why would you not? It’s insulting to millions of white to pit and make gross generalizations. The same goes for any other race. The notion to even suggest that if you’re white and liberal and being progressive or radical socialist is bad, but if you’re a devout and traditional conservative that’s bad? Well, looking at the red tidal tsunami that’s growing completely undercut this ridiculous narrative.

There are powerful players and voices who benefit from right wing grievance and hatred,

the same way the left media does for their white progressive audiences.

Not sure how Putin got into the conversation, but…ROFL

Good. The plaintiffs should move to aggressively collect and drain these hate groups of their assets.

Social media should ban the organizations and their individual members if it has not sone so already.

One would hope that the FBI and the DOJ are looking at these Nazis and other hate groups hiding in plain sight, inciting violence and then claiming it’s a joke.

They are not joking and it’s not acceptable.

Eh? The text you quoted says nothing about white supremacists, it states "extremist violence".

He was right though, a huge portion of the right in America are very, very angry, they have a lot of guns, and they feel that their minority opinion is worth fighting for, with said guns if necessary.

I didn't.

if you’re a devout and traditional conservative that’s bad? 

Says who? My father is a "devout" and traditional conservative in the real sense. I respect his viewpoints even though I disagree with them. Difference is, he doesn't go for the conspiratorial, mean-spirited, divisive, destructive, nationalistic (and sometimes racist) MAGA movement.

Not sure how Putin got into the conversation, but…ROFL

All of the U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Putin has had an active hand in stoking grievance in America, particularly among those on the right (though not exclusively) and the less educated, through social media and other means of misinformation. The more America is divided, the more democracy is discredited and distrusted (e.g., Trump's Big Lie about 2020, the storming of the capitol), the more authoritarian kleptocracies flourish. Bozos such as the Unite the Right, Proud Boys, and Oath Keepers are helping Putin and Lil Friends bring down America.

Alluding to the fact that other Far-right extremists groups may also face the same future is not off-topic

There are other well-known extremist groups that may face the same the same future.

In a mixed verdict, a jury awarded more than $25 million in damages Tuesday against white nationalist leaders and organizations for violence that erupted during the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.

I wonder how much in damages the mob that robbed Nordstrom the other day will have to pay.

You know, I also think that the organized smash and grabs going on now represent a real issue that has to be dealt with.

But if you cannot understand the difference between organized theft and and an organized gathering designed and intended to incite violence and in the defendants' own words own words and texts "start a race war", you are not qualified to be part of this discussion.

No-one has done this, though.

Are you happy that this group of neo-Nazis, who cried, "Jews will not replace us" and carried swastika flags, are being heavily fined?

yes, I find it odd that its only non liberal white people who can be called white supremacists.

Even Black people can be called such nonsense as "the Black face of white supremacy", but never any liberals of any color, ever.

(But they are, too- such as the KKK guy that the current president gave the eulogy at his funeral, Robert Byrd?)

Depends how you feel about the free speech rights of the New Black Panthers and other Black nationalist groups. I would think that anyone has a right to say anything in a public square, and people have the same right to listen/not listen to what they have to say.

New Black Panthers for Self-Defense strolled the perimeter, long guns in hand.

“I’m not going to turn the other cheek. I love Martin Luther King, but I’m not going to turn the other cheek,” said Mikhail Muhammad, with the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense.

The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies the New Black Panthers for Self-Defense as a hate group with virulently racist and anti-Semitic views.
