Grand jury indicts torch-wielding marchers from 2017 incident in Charlottesville

24. Yup

The prosecutor (who was later voted out of office) opted not to prosecute, apparently not considering their use of tiki torches in their "march" as "burning something". It's one thing walking around with a glass-enclosed (wicked) flame-lit lantern, a candle, or even an activated butane lighter. But I expect something more than that with an open flame is probably borderline, if not, illegal, given those are fueled with an oil.

And this despite the fact that their carrying around what is normally a pole meant to be planted "stationary" in the ground, symbolically invokes the use of "torches" that were often used to commit arson on the homes/businesses of those groups that the KKK was known to intimidate and attack (let alone became a reminder of the imagery of the burning cross, which was a hallmark of that vile organization).
