    Jason Kessler Refiles Charlottesville Lawsuit

    .

    As with Augustus Invictus’s presidential campaign, it is good to see someone fighting back for a change rather than holding Blompf’s beer and rolling over and losing multiple lawsuits.

    Daily Progress:

    .

    “Exactly two years after the Unite the Right rally, the lead organizer of the deadly white supremacist event has again filed a federal lawsuit against the city of Charlottesville and various officials alleging a violation of his First Amendment rights.

    Kessler voluntarily dismissed an earlier lawsuit that similarly claimed his First Amendment and 14th Amendment rights were violated.

    The most recent iteration of the lawsuit drops the claim that Kessler’s 14th Amendment rights were violated and adds new defendants and plaintiffs.

    In addition to Kessler, the lawsuit adds David Matthew Parrott as a plaintiff. Parrott was formerly the spokesman of the now-largely defunct Traditionalist Worker Party and, along with Kessler, is a defendant in a separate lawsuit filed by area residents against key organizers of the rally. …”
    .

    I fully support this lawsuit. I encourage you to support it as well.

    I didn’t support the Unite The Right 2 rally because I have grown skeptical of activism in the Blompf era (no effort has been made to rein in the Democratic cities issuing stand down orders), but a federal lawsuit against Charlottesville should have been our focus from August 2017.

    Not continuing with the college speaking tour.

    Not flash rallies which no one cares about.

    Not organizing a Unite The Right 2 rally.

    Not spending a whole year arguing over optics.

    Not campaigning to elect more conservatives who are puppets of Jewish billionaires.

    The fallout from Charlottesville was badly mishandled. We should have said nothing publicly and calmly started working on our own lawsuit.

      New York Times: Charlottesville Lawsuit Puts Rising Intolerance On Trial

      New York Times: Charlottesville Lawsuit Puts Rising Intolerance On Trial

      I went to Charlottesville.

      It was one of a series of Alt-Right rallies and speaking events in 2017.

      Let me tell you the truth about Charlottesville as an eyewitness of that event.

      New York Times:


      “The most sweeping lawsuit against the promoters of the Charlottesville white power rally has been churning toward trial for two years, ever since hundreds of white supremacists and Nazis staged a torch-lit march that sparked a weekend of violence.

      In that time, lawyers have been methodically pursuing a case that could demonstrate how to use the courts to combat extremism in an age when the internet has provided a global megaphone for ideas once limited to an isolated fringe.

      The outcome is not a foregone conclusion. A closer look at the legal strategy in the lawsuit, known as Sines v. Kessler, illustrates the hurdles involved in putting hate and intolerance in the dock, with members of the far right habitually citing the First Amendment as their shield. …”
      .

      The fake news media wants to “put rising intolerance on trial.” That’s the narrative.

      We went to Charlottesville to oppose the removal of the Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson monuments. The League of the South had gone to many other places like New Orleans in 2017 to oppose the removal of Confederate monuments. That’s the truth.

      The idea was to exercise our First Amendment rights and to defy the mainstream media and boldly stand up for what we believe in as honorable Southern White men. Although we paid a very heavy price for having the audacity to go into Charlottesville, a Virginia judge recently ruled that Charlottesville has no right to remove the Confederate monuments.

      .



      As always happens these days when anyone on the Right holds any kind of public event, violent Antifa groups showed up to disrupt the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Even though the organizers of the Unite the Right rally had procured a federal court order to host the rally, the event was disrupted by Antifa and thrown into chaos because the state police and local police deliberately allowed it to happen to get the result that they wanted.

      This was all exposed in the Heaphy Report which was an independent review conducted by a former federal prosecutor who was by hired by the City of Charlottesville to determine what went wrong that day. It was also exposed by the local media. Both sides who attended the event that day as well as bystanders have all said that the police showed no interest in maintaining order. This has become a common occurrence with rightwing events in leftwing strongholds like Berkeley and Portland. It is what happened that day in Charlottesville as well.

      Two months later, the same groups who went to Charlottesville held another rally in Shelbyville, TN. The White Lives Matter rally was peaceful and uneventful because it was held in a jurisdiction that wasn’t a leftwing hothouse. The police did their jobs and there were no issues. Just as The New York Times cannot be trusted to report the news rather than give you the narrative, the lesson of Charlottesville is that leftwing cities can’t be trusted to uphold law and order and protect the First Amendment rights of every American regardless of their political leanings.

        I remember when I saw people promoting this lawsuit and I just laughed cynically and did not comment.

        Well.

        The case being thrown out is just a minor news item in the back pages of apnews.com.

            Opinion/Editorial: The public interest again appears at risk

            Opinion/Editorial: The public interest again appears at risk

            The Daily Progress Feb 2, 2021

            Now, let’s see if we got this right:

            Members of the public cannot use the Virginia Public Records Act — even though the records ultimately should belong to the public?

            Briefly summarized: The City of Charlottesville has argued in court that a plaintiff has no right to challenge city actions under the PRA.

            And if the city’s right, then the statute is wrong — morally wrong.

            Representing Charlottesville, attorney Elizabeth Southall told a judge recently that a citizen plaintiff has no right to relief under the statute.

            The law recently was revised by the General Assembly, she said, so that citizens lack the ability to legally challenge governments’ record-keeping.

            The plaintiff’s lawyer disagrees. The PRA is part of the Virginia State Code’s approach to freedom of information, said Andrew Bodoh, author of “The Virginian’s Guide to FOIA.”

            The PRA and the Virginia Freedom of Information Act are intended to work together, he argued, and so there is an implied right that the citizen access granted in the FOIA extends to the PRA.

            He’s right: The Public Records Act is fundamentally necessary to the Freedom of Information Act. FOIA gives citizens the right to request and receive public documents (outside certain specified exemptions).

            But if those documents aren’t maintained in the first place, then the freedom-of-information protections are rendered impotent.

            Bodoh was acting for client Jason Kessler, who had asked to see records relating to the white-supremacist rally that turned deadly here in August 2017. Kessler helped organize that rally. The man’s ideology is disgusting, and he is abhorred for his actions and beliefs.

            But the issue here is not about those actions and beliefs, but rather about a possible deficiency in state law.

            Kessler became curious about statements made by then-Mayor Mike Signer in his book about the rally, and especially about referenced text messages involving the men who were employed as city manager and police chief at that time.

            Kessler filed a FOIA request to see those texts. He was told that they were wiped, according to city policy, when a new manager came on board.

            Kessler then alleged that Charlottesville improperly eliminated the texts, invoking the Public Records Act. He wants them resurrected if data files can be found.

            Now, again, the point here is not to side with or against Kessler. Indeed, some records can be discarded according to law and business best practices.

            The point here is to raise questions about state law.

            The argument that the FOIA and PRA are meant to work together is morally compelling. Citizens are supposed to have access to public information — which implies that the information is meant to be retained for them and, further, that they have the right to legal redress if it isn’t.

            Southall contends that the statute’s rewrite removes citizens’ right to legal action and gives it to the Librarian of Virginia — and even then is intended to be more about guidance than about punishment for record-keeping (or record-deleting) mistakes.

            But if Southall’s interpretation is correct, that carries serious and chilling implications for public access.

            If the act doesn’t exact meaningful penalties for wrongly deleting records, what force does it have to hold governments accountable?

            And suppose the Librarian of Virginia isn’t inclined to get involved in a case of wrongdoing. Then who can? Someone else needs to have that chance.

            “Maybe [the General Assembly] should have done a better job with it, but this is what we’re stuck with,” Southall said of the PRA rewrite.

            Well, we, the public, shouldn’t be stuck with it.

            We have a new General Assembly whose progressive tilt ought to make it sympathetic toward issues of public empowerment and citizen access to information. Let’s see the legislature repair the damage with a new rewrite.
