Charlottesville rally organizers found liable by jury
Rally organizers Richard Spencer, Jason Kessler and Christopher Cantwell were all found to be liable under state law, The Washington Post reported.
The jury was unable to reach a verdict on two other claims, which dealt with whether organizers conspired to commit racially motivated violence or knew of such a conspiracy and did not stop it.
The case was brought by nine plaintiffs, including four who were injured in the car attack that killed one counterprotester. The individuals testified about injuries they sustained as well as other mental issues that have faced since the incident.
The jury awarded more than $25 million in damages, according to The New York Times.
The far-right white nationalist rally took place in Charlottesville on Aug. 11 and 12 in 2017. It was planned as a protest of the planned removal of a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee.
Throughout the month-long civil trial, defendants did not shy away from their racist and anti-Semitic beliefs. The Times noted that slurs meant to describe minorities were used throughout the testimonies of the defense.
During the testimony of rally organizer Richard Spencer, a known anti-Semite who has advocated for ethnic cleansing, lead attorney for the plaintiffs Michael Bloch played an audio clip recorded one day after the rally in which he could be heard saying, "We are going to destroy this fucking town," referring to Charlottesville.

They ain't thoughtful and even tempered people! Computers and cellphones will be their undoing, the stupid pricks even post selfies of themselves committing crimes. One day after they have domestic antiterrorism laws the data will be mined looking for crazies to keep an eye on or bust. One day America will have a loser list, a domestic terrorist watch list and it will have implications for those on it.
"Jim Salter, a systems administrator and tech journalist, said: “Extremists, and extremist-friendly entities, have a noticeable shortage of even-tempered, thoughtful people doing even-tempered, thoughtful work at securing sites and managing personnel.”

How far-right extremist groups face exposure from army of hacktivists
Data leaks and breaches by so-called ‘ethical hackers’ – often assisted by poor security practices – have exposed inner workings of groups and the nature of the movement as a whole
hroughout 2021, websites associated with far-right extremist groups and extremist-friendly platforms and hosts have suffered from data leaks and breaches that have exposed the inner workings of far-right groups, and the nature of the movement as a whole.
The data has been exfiltrated in breaches engineered by so-called “ethical hackers” – often assisted by poor security practices from website administrators – and by activists who have penetrated websites in search of data and information.
Experts and activists say that attacks on their online infrastructure is likely to continue to disrupt and hamper far-right groups and individuals and makes unmasking their activities far more likely – often resulting in law enforcement attention or loss of employment.
Numerous far-right groups have suffered catastrophic data breaches this year, in perhaps a reflection of a lack of technical expertise among such activists. Jim Salter, a systems administrator and tech journalist, said: “Extremists, and extremist-friendly entities, have a noticeable shortage of even-tempered, thoughtful people doing even-tempered, thoughtful work at securing sites and managing personnel.”
There are many examples.
In the wake of the 6 January attacks, the Guardian reported on the leak from American Patriots III% website, which allowed the entire membership of the organization to be identified.
In that case, poor website configuration had allowed savvy researchers to view and republish the information on the open web.
In July, another organization affiliated with the Three Percenters, which monitoring organizations classify as an anti-government group or a component of the militia movement, had internal chats leaked which reportedly exhibited a “thirst for violence”.
Then, in September, it emerged that the website of anti-government group the Oath Keepers, was comprehensively breached, with membership lists, emails, and what appeared to be the entire content of their server suddenly put on public display.
The data exfiltrated from that site was widely reported on, coming at a time when members of the organization were facing charges or on trial for their role in the attack on the US Capitol on 6 January.
The Guardian reported that the breach showed that the group had enjoyed a surge in membership after the events of that day.
Another neo-confederate group with extremist connections, the Sons of Confederate Veterans, had its entire membership list exposed this year, after a self-described “hacktivist” provided the data to the Guardian.
Although there were many such breaches and leaks this year, 2021 could be seen as the year in which a wave of anti-fascist cyber-activism crested.
In recent years, extremist groups including Patriot Front and The Base have had internal communications revealed by infiltrators.
Independent news organization Unicorn Riot has published dozens of chats from far-right groups leaked from Discord, a chat application created for gamers that came to be a platform favoured by extremists, including for the planning of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville in 2017.
The hacking is even more significant as recently mainstream social media and chat platforms like Facebook, YouTube and Twitter have – with varying degrees of enthusiasm – moved to exclude extremists from their platforms.
Events like Unite the Right and the Capitol attack brought pressure to bear on platforms including Discord, which banned hundreds of extremist servers during 2021.
The intermittent crackdowns have led some extremists to flock to so-called “alt-tech” platforms, which reproduce some of the functions of big tech sites while advertising themselves to the far right with “free speech” policies. But these platforms, too, have come under attack by hacktivists in 2021.
In the days leading up to the Capitol riot, Parler, a Twitter-like site which had advertised itself as an online home for the Trumpist right, leaked account details, videos, posts and other materials.
Following the riot, Parler data was used to identify participants in the rally, and others who had entered the Capitol building.
Then, in March, Gab, a platform which had long played host to extremists who had been banned from other platforms, was also hacked.
Gab had achieved notoriety for, among other things, being the venue where Robert Bowers announced his intention to attack the Tree of Life synagogue in October 2018.
At the time of the breach, the Guardian reported that the data revealed the email addresses and other personal details of thousands of users, including Gab’s investors and verified accounts.
It also showed direct messages between Gab CEO, Andrew Torba, and a QAnon influencer, Richard Cornero Jr, who came to prominence under the alias Neon Revolt.
The hack was attributed to Gab’s introduction of security vulnerabilities into their own platform in their adaptation of an open source social media application for their own use.
Then, in September, domain name registrar and web hosting provider, Epik, had the entire contents of its home server repeatedly breached.
Epik had offered services of last resort to groups like neo-Nazi podcasters, The Right Stuff; sites like QAnon hub and extremist playground, 8chan; and even, for a time, Gab itself.
CEO Rob Monster built up his business by promising an anything goes platform for such groups. The Guardian’s inspection of the data reveals that Monster – who has worked as a broker of domain names – had also speculatively snapped up dozens of domains which invoked the code words and preoccupations of the QAnon movement.
Megan Squire, senior fellow in data analytics at the Southern Poverty Law Center, agreed with Salter’s assessment of the level of technical talent on the far right when it comes to security online. She said: “A lot of the people who are actually qualified to do this work are not going to be willing to work with these people.”
While “the hacktivist ethos is alive and well on the left”, Salteradded, extremist-friendly hosts like Epik are unable to hire the personnel who might help them create a defensive capacity. She described Epik’s data design as poor. “I haven’t seen anything that bad in my entire career,” she said,
Salter said that any talented technologists on the far right “tend to be clustered heavily around more offensive roles attacking others rather than defending – and far more importantly, day to day managing – their own infrastructure.”
Given this deficit, and the surge of hacktivism on the left, breaches like those seen in the last year seem set to continue, she added.

Pregnant librarian killed after pulling gun on motorcyclist in road rage row
A pregnant librarian was killed after she allegedly pulled a gun on a motorcyclist in a road rage row in Florida.
Sara Nicole Morales, 35, was shot dead by Andrew Derr during a confrontation outside her home in Orange City on 20 November.
The incident began when Ms Morales allegedly intentionally hit Mr Derr’s motorcycle with her car on North Volusia Avenue and fled the scene, the Orange City Police Department said in a news release.
Mr Derr and a witness called police and followed Ms Morales to an intersection where they demanded she stop to await officers’ arrival.
When she refused to pull over, Mr Derr and the witness continued to follow Ms Morales to her home, where she ran inside to grab a handgun, authorities said.
She emerged from the home with her gun and confronted Mr Derr and the witness in the street before being shot multiple times by the motorcyclist.
Ms Morales, who was around five months pregnant, was airlifted to Halifax Health Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.
