Henrico County, VA Commonwealth's Attorney Shannon Taylor: “While I am grateful that the victim’s injuries do not appear to be serious, an attack on peaceful protesters is heinous and despicable and we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. The accused, by his own admission and by a cursory glance at social media, is an admitted leader of the Ku Klux Klan and a propagandist for Confederate ideology. We are investigating whether hate crimes charges are appropriate."

1. I didn't know about this.

Holy cow.

[Newest Reality]

2. That must be disappointing...

That must be disappointing for DAS FUROR. This guys sounds like he may have been a perfect candidate for the staff as the revolving door turns. Well, there are plenty more where that came from.

Note the minor in the back of the truck.

He was in an altercation Charlottesville for a Heather Heyer Memorial, but I don't seem to have the photos at hand.

4. Can easily be charged as attempted murder with the vehicle

being the weapon.

[Corgigal]

5. Well, then

he’s gonna love the prison atmosphere. Enjoy.

6. Lock him up for about 30. That ought to do it.

7. He's lucky they didn't drag him out and beat him to death

He should thank the protesters for having more restraint than he did.

8. Bad things keep happening to good people.

27. Very fine people.

9. I refer to the Prophet Gump: "Stupid is as Stupid Does."

I don't know VA laws but in NC you have to have seat belts on any passenger. Loose in the bed of the pickup is a serious conversation with Judge and a meaningful fine. If not a charge of reckless endangerment of a minor.

11. Could be "Racist is as Racist Does"

[Ford_Prefect]

13. This too I'm sure.....I like the edge it gives to say Stupid. Just being mean I guess

Racist is many things at once and all of them vile, and un-evolved. Stupid gets to the heart of the matter so directly. If you are that stupid then.....Y'know? Plus it's an insult they can't avoid and really find offensive.

A fool can be so many things and stupid is so often one of them.

15. Like how you think, Thank You

19. Racists insist they're superior to everyone else, yet their racism MAKES them inferior.

If you're a racist, everyone you say is inferior is actually better than you.

[Ford_Prefect]

22. Hence you call them out for using Stupid reasoning.

The scary part of that is there really is only one cure for Stupid. I'd hoped they were teachable. But lately, this seems to be less and less likely. I despair for the future for some of my neighbors.

10. Why is he standing up with hand cuffs on?

I thought procedure was on your face on the ground with a taser jammed into your spine, or a knee on the windpipe.

[Traildogbob]

16. Dylan Roof

Any more questions? That should have been enough to light this fire.

12. I honestly think anyone who kills a protester with their vehicle should face the death penalty

I told my local state representative that too after the death of Heather Heyer. You have moron Kluxers driving 80,000 pound vehicles into a crowd full of toxic materials so it's time for the Kluxers to understand if they play stupid games they'll win such prizes from the government.

14. So is this a terrorist attack ? Or does he have to be Arabic for that ?

White supremacists, the new al-Qaeda.

[Traildogbob]

17. Al-Skeeter.

All praise to their lord.

[tclambert]

18. He's not antifa, and he's white, so . . . not a terrorist.

The laws are very clear.

[eppur_se_muova]

20. You got it.

[Ingersollman]

21. I

believe they go by "Ya'll Kayduh"

[calimary]

25. OUCH!!!

That's EXCELLENT, Ingersollman!

"Ya'll Kayduh"!

[safeinOhio]

23. "propagandist for Confederate ideology"

I'm betting that he surrendered, as a follower of Confederate ideology.

24. What a very special turd. Additional Klan stuff and new charges...

Thess 3 photos have the same guy in all of them. Skip Rogers at a 2014 protest with the Virginia Flaggers, him at public demonstrations in his klan robes in 2016, and him at Unite the Right in 2017.

On August 13th 2017, he attempted to start a fight with a march that was holding a memorial to Heather Heyer. It didn't turn out well for him.

Henrico county police confirmed it was Rogers and that he has been arrested for assault and battery, a class one misdemeanor.

26. "Considering these precursors, a debate has arisen about which country

spawned the earliest fascist movement. France is a frequent candidate. Russia has been proposed. Hardly anyone puts Germany first. It may be that the earliest phenomenon that can be functionally related to fascism is American: the Ku Klux Klan." (Robert O. Paxion, "The Anatomy of Fascism," p. 49, 2004. ISBN: 1-4000-4094-9)

The fascist KKK is still strong, but Trump and Barr want us to focus on Antifa. Who has the record of terrorism -- murder, lynching, arson, and intimidation of African-Americans, other minorities, politicians, judges, juries, teachers, etc.?

Luck was with the fascist-KKK truck driver. When he emerged from his truck, he did not encounter an angry, burly Antifa lusting with the thought of smashing his face. But, if he had, AG Barr would be all over the case to shut down Antifa. It's time to get the FBI back into undercover work on the fascist KKK. Those criminals should be in prison.
