Oct. 2, 2018. Four Men Arrested Over Unrest During 2017 “Unite the Right” Rally. The four are members or associates of the Rise Above Movement, a white supremacist group based in Southern California, prosecutors say. By Rahima Nasa.

Federal prosecutors on Tuesday announced they had arrested four members or associates of the Rise Above Movement, a white supremacist group, over their alleged role in the infamous 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The four men were charged with having traveled to Charlottesville with the aim of inciting a riot and conspiracy to incite a riot, and prosecutors submitted an array of photographs and videos capturing the men pummeling and choking protesters over two days.

If convicted, the men- Benjamin Drake Daley, 25, of Redondo Beach, California; Thomas Walter Gillen, 34, of Redondo Beach; Michael Paul Miselis, 29, of Lawndale, California; and Cole Evan White, 24, of Clayton, California- could face five years in prison for each of two federal riot charges. White has been described as an associate of the group, not a member. *Read More at Link above...
