White supremacists who attended the violent Charlottesville rally were chased out of a courthouse this week after being found guilty of failure to disperse from the demonstration.
Counter-protesters charged Nathan Damigo, Evan McLaren and JonPaul Struys as they left Charlottesville General District Court on October 13, chasing them into a parking garage where the three men jumped into a vehicle, C-Ville.com reported.
The group of demonstrators waiting for the three men chanted F*** white supremacists and flipped the men off as they ran to their car, before being dispersed by a group of at least 12 police officers, who ordered the protesters out of the Market Street Garage.
The three white supremacists were found guilty of the class one misdemeanor and have been handed fines, but all three are appealing the verdict.

(18,619 posts)3. Why are they even fighting the charges?
It's a lousy misdemeanor charge that most people would agree to pay the fine for and go home. They risk nothing in the way of 2nd amendment rights and were likely offered a plea agreement with slap on the wrist probation.
The only reason I see to fight it is if someone else is paying their legal fees. The question now is who and why.
