Last week, Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted of five counts of homicide and endangerment, stemming from a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Today, a jury in Georgia convicted three men of murdering Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man, in 2020. Court cases are ongoing in connection to the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot, which some historians and experts say was rooted in ‘white rage,’ a violent form of identity politics that stems from white supremacist ideas.

After three days of deliberations, the jury returned mixed verdicts in a federal civil lawsuit brought against 20 white nationalist leaders and groups. They were accused of planning to commit racial violence during the August 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, which left one counterprotester and two police officers dead and many more injured.

Four years ago, hundreds of people - mostly white men - rallied in Charlottesville to protest the planned removal of Confederate monuments and spread white supremacist propaganda. The rally, called Unite the Right, brought a throng of known hate groups from around the country. Now a lawsuit alleging they planned the violence that ensued heads to a jury.
