1. Paltry damages in my opinion

They can crowd fund that from other Nazis.

3. What CNN is reporting....

https://www.cnn.com/2021/11/23/us/charlottesville-unite-the-right-trial-deliberations-tuesday/index.html

A federal jury in Charlottesville, Virginia, could not reach a verdict on claims one and two in the Unite the Right civil trial.
Claim one was the most prominent claim against the defendants in the civil lawsuit because it pertains to whether the defendants conspired to commit racially motivated violence.

The jury could also not reach a verdict on claim two, which pertains to whether the defendants had knowledge of a conspiracy for racially motivated violence and failed to prevent it.

The jury in Unite the Right trial finds all of defendants violated Virginia state conspiracy.

Without the jury present, the judge said, "I don't know why there's any misunderstanding about that. I think I'm going to tell them they must continue to try to reach a unanimous decision on all six counts."
The jury will decide in each count whether each defendant is liable for damages. In a civil trial, plaintiffs' attorneys have to show a defendant is liable by a "preponderance of evidence," Moon told jurors, meaning 50.1% or greater chance of the claim is true.

4. Out of curiosity, does anyone know what the chances are that any of the victims will

ever see a nickel?

I have always wondered whether any of the awards that we hear folks get are ever paid?

5. Some will

Fields' auto insurance will likely pay some to those injured in his attack.

The rest, I don't think it is likely, but I'm no expert.

6. as TFG said there are some very fined people on one side

did I get that right?

8. Remember the mom who sued the Klan in Idaho (Montana? I forget)

and bankrupted them-- ended up with their 'ranch'.

This will hurt them even if they do get donations.

9. Portland, Oregon

Tom Metzger and the White Arian Resistance (from Sand Point Idaho) were bankrupted in a civil trial led by Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center. White skinheads murdered an Ethiopian student named Mulugeta Seraw in 1988. The murder happened in my ultra-liberal Portland neighborhood.
