This weekend, at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, a horde of Nazis, white supremacists, neo Confederate militiamen and other members of the so called alt right ran rampant, brawling in the streets and toting a veritable arsenal of weaponry. One alleged member of a neo Nazi group called Vanguard America, James Alex Fields Jr., was arrested on suspicion of driving through a crowd of counter protesters, killing local woman Heather Heyer and wounding scores of others.

The organizer, Jason Kessler, blamed the city of Charlottesville for first providing inadequate security and then declaring an unlawful assembly before the rally could proceed, taking no responsibility for the violence. Now, some of the white supremacists involved are crowdsourcing a lawsuit against the city for allegedly violating their civil rights. The crowdsourcing campaign is being organized by Nathan Damigo, founder of supremacist group Identity Evropa, with the aid of lawyer Kyle Bristow, another avowed racist. The pair allege that after months of effort and obtaining valid permits, Charlottesville police failed to protect attendees from crowds of counter protesters who used pepper spray and threw bottles, sticks, and rocks into our ranks. They said speakers were not allowed to address the rally before it was declared an unlawful assembly Confusion swept over the crowd as many wondered if they should leave as ordered, or stand up against a clear violation of their Constitutional and Civil Rights. As most of the crowd began filing out of the park, Nathan Damigo, Founder and Leader of Identity Evropa, stayed and was arrested for refusing to follow an unlawful order that violated the federal courts injunction. However, he was soon after released, taking to Twitter to let his followers and supporters know of his illegal arrest. By mid evening, the site hosting the crowdfunding drive, Rootbocks, said it had been driven offline after refusing to comply with a directive from its web hosting service. But by mid evening, the drive had raised over 8,0. So thats the supremacists side of the argument, for all its worth. Do they have a case Attorney Ken White, who blogs under the nom de guerre Popehat on issues including free speech laws, told Gizmodo it would not be impossible for Damigo to have a valid claim that police violated his First Amendment rights if it was determined authorities improperly declared an unlawful assembly. The idea is that people are threatening violence towards you is not a lawful basis to tell someone to shut up and leave, White said. So, if the Nazis could prove that the cops did basically endorse a hecklers veto, they could have a claim. The hecklers veto describes a situation where threats of violence against people exercising their First Amendment rights in a perfectly legal but offensive manner results in police action against the person who has not broken the law. Recent court rulings have concluded that when police act in such a manner, they are essentially acting as enforcers for the crowd. But White added that outside of special exceptions, like a detainee coming to harm in police custody, its extremely difficult to sue the police for failing to protect you from harm. In fact, generally you cant do it. Theresbelieve it or notno constitutional right to be protected from danger by the police. What the caselaw provides is that they cant just refuse to protect them from hecklers and then shut them down on the grounds that theyre being threatened, White said. Having a valid claim only means the white supremacists case might survive a motion to dismiss, he added, not that they are likely to win. Juries dont like Nazis, White said, noting widespread evidence that Unite the Right attendees deliberately instigated violence suggests they are lying. And in general I am not inclined to take Nazis at their word.
