No surprise that he's a racist. This should be a hate crime.
"A man who is accused of driving his car through a group of protesters in Virginia is an "admitted leader of the Ku Klux Klan and a propagandist for Confederate ideology," according to the Henrico County Commonwealth's Attorney.
"Harry Rogers, 36, is charged with attempted malicious wounding, felony vandalism, and assault and battery, and is being held without bond. He was arraigned in court on Monday morning, according to online court records.
"Several witnesses reported that a vehicle had "revved their engine and drove through the protesters occupying the roadway," police said.
"Rogers was arrested, and a victim who had called to report the incident was checked by rescue at the scene and refused further treatment, according to police.
"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," Henrico County Commonwealth's Attorney Shannon Taylor said in a statement.
"Taylor said in the statement that due to Rogers' admitted association with the KKK, they are investigating whether hate crimes charges are appropriate."
his auto insurance rates may go up. They would go up plenty for an accident - I wonder how it works if it's intentional.
He should lose his driver's license and go to prison.
He tried to kill people.
@LiterateHiker That would be great, but these days we can't depend on anything.
People like him need to undergo re-education about too many things to list here. Moreover, he should be held in secure accommodation until he is no longer a threat to other people.
Hate crime charges are demanded for this reprehensible behavior!
Life in prison! And to hell with the KKK!
He needs to be placed in a cage, hanging in a public place - and ridiculed, mocked and belittled mercilessly for the rest of his life. He should be fed and given health care, kept alive as long as possible. Might be able to get 40 years of it in! Then feed him to pigs.
"we will prosecute to the fullest extent of the law,"
