A Redondo Beach man who trained with a militant white supremacist group pleaded guilty Monday to one count of conspiracy to riot in connection with the deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., in August 2017.
The agent also said White grabbed a counter-protester by the shoulders and jerked him away before he head-butted a minister wearing a clerical collar. The video also appears to show Miselis, his hands taped, shoving a black man to the ground and then striking him.
According to court documents, Fields admitted that he drove into the crowd because of the actual and perceived race, color, national origin and religion of the counter-protesters. He admitted that his actions killed Heyer and that he intended to kill the other victims he struck and injured with his car.
“Rise Above Movement is essentially a white supremacist organization that operates like an alt-right fight club,” Joanna Mendelson, a senior investigative researcher for the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism in Los Angeles, told The Times in October. “They romanticize themselves as these foot soldiers to fend off against the elements that threaten their white existence.”
In 2017, Gillen attended rallies in Huntington Beach and Berkeley in which Rise Above members pursued and assaulted protesters and others, and later celebrated the news coverage depicting photographs of the assaults, authorities said. During the course of the investigation, authorities said the FBI and the Virginia State Police waded through an “incredible” volume of digital evidence — more even than during the investigation of the Boston Marathon bombing.
