Two alleged white supremacists pleaded guilty to a federal crime Friday for instigating violence during the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville
By Paul Duggan Paul Duggan Crime reporter Email Bio Follow May 3 at 3:02 PM Two alleged white supremacists described by authorities as traveling “serial rioters” each pleaded guilty to a federal crime Friday for instigating violence during the notorious 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville.
“These avowed white supremacists traveled to Charlottesville to incite and commit acts of violence, not to engage in peaceful First Amendment expression,” said U.S. Attorney Thomas T. Cullen of the Western District of Virginia. In a statement, he said, “Although the First Amendment protects an organization’s right to express abhorrent political views, it does not authorize senseless violence in furtherance of a political agenda.
In a statement, the U.S. attorney’s office in Charlottesville described RAM as “a now-defunct, California-based, combat-ready, militant group that represented itself as part of the new nationalist and white supremacy movement.”
