Organizers Behind Deadly Charlottesville Rally Are Inviting More Skinheads This Year
Source: The Daily Beast
The organizers behind last summers deadly Unite the Right rally want to cast an event held on its anniversary as a non-violent demonstration. But those same organizers are quietly asking members of violent paramilitary groups to attend the event, leaked messages reveal.
Jason Kessler, Unite the Rights main organizer, has been losing far-right allies at a steady rate since the first disastrous rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last August. Facing multiple lawsuits over the fallout of that deadly white supremacist meetup, Kessler has declared that the sequel event will be a peaceful affair. But two months worth of leaked Facebook messages, released by the nonprofit media collective Unicorn Riot, reveal that Kessler and his co-organizers discussed bringing on at least one violent skinhead group, and hoped to court other far-right groups that have publicly distanced themselves from Unite the Right.
We are paramilitary + neo-Nazi, a Facebook user calling himself McCormick H Foley wrote in the group chat, which contained a total of 20 people at various times. Foley is an alias for a member of the group Vanguard America, Unicorn Riot reported. James Fields Jr., the man accused of driving a car into a crowd of anti-racist protesters at Unite the Right, was seen marching with Vanguard America and holding a shield with the groups logo.
In the chat, Foley mentioned acting as security for Unite the Right 2 as I can stay at least somewhat close to my Vanguard.

Kessler eventually ran off-screen. When he returned, he admitted that the person was his father, whose views Kessler nlamed on his watching the History Channel with its constant anti-German propaganda.
Im stuck in a situation where I have to stay with my family because Im paying for all these lawsuits, Kessler complained.

Shouldn't take too much, since obviously a lot of them stay w/ Mommy and Daddy at home in the basement...
Pathetic...
Why the heck anyone pay attention to these thugs, if they can't even pay their own way, or must rely on Mommy and Daddy still and they are in their 30s on up?
