Indictments Handed Down for Torch-Carrying Marchers in Charlottesville Rally
Three individuals who carried tiki torches during a white nationalist rally at the University of Virginia campus in 2017 have been indicted on state charges of burning an object with the intent to intimidate. The indictments were part of an ongoing criminal investigation, and it is unclear how many people will eventually face charges. The rally, which was fueled by white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and Confederate sympathizers, shocked the nation and set off a political furor after President Donald J. Trump equated the two sides.
