A hate crime investigation is underway against the self-proclaimed president of the Virginia KKK. Harry Rogers, was charged with attempted malicious wounding, destruction of property, and assault and battery after he drove his pickup truck into a group of Black Live Matters protesters.
There were no serious injuries. Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney Shannon Taylor said,
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. We lived through this in Virginia in Charlottesville in 2017. I promise Henricoans that this egregious criminal act will not go unpunished. Hate has no place here under my watch.
