Integrity First for America successfully made the Nazis involved in the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville pay for their violence. The jury in the trial against a group of two dozen, which included the likes of Richard Spencer and Chris “Crying Nazi” Cantwell representing themselves as well as hate groups like Identity Evropa and League of the South, found all parties violated the Virginia state law against civil conspiracy. The jury failed to reach a verdict on counts one and two, which related to conspiracy to commit racially motivated violence and failure to stop conspiracy. For the third claim, individuals must pay $500,000 in punitive damages while groups like Vanguard and Trad Workers Party must pay $1 million per group. Eliott Kline, Robert “Azzmador” Ray, Spencer, and Cantwell were found liable for racial intimidation and will pay $200,000 apiece in punitive damages. Plaintiffs Natalie Romero and Devin Willis will receive $250,000 each.

For his role in claim five as it relates to assault and battery, Fields must pay $6 million in punitive damages. Read more
