⚖️ On Friday, October 11th, Florida-based attorney and White nationalist Augustus Sol Invictus was found guilty in a Virginia court of "burning an object with intent to intimidate." This charge carries a potential sentence of up to five years. His conviction follows Albemarle County’s unsealing of a dozen indictments related to the Unite the Right rally, and comes shortly after the arrest of ex-Marine Vasillios Pistolis on September 18th for his involvement. Additionally, Thomas Rousseau, founder and leader of the Patriot Front, was arrested in Virginia for the same charge in late February of this year.
🔥 The charge of "burning an object with intent to intimidate" stems from an old Virginian "Anti-Klan law," which addresses the Ku Klux Klan's use of cross burning, an ancient Celtic tradition, at their rallies. In 2018, shortly after the events of Unite the Right, Virginia legislation attempted to amend the law to include "carrying a flame-producing instrument." This is clearly a move by the anti-White establishment to criminalize the freedom of speech of Unite the Right protesters.
⚫️It is also noteworthy that both prosecutors in the Invictus case, Lawton Tufts and Armin Zijerdei, were present on August 12th, counter-demonstrating against Unite the Right alongside violent Antifa and Black Lives Matter activists, none of whom have faced any charges.
⚫️Mr. Invictus is appealing his case to the Supreme Court.
