CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) The Latest on the sentencing of a man who deliberately drove his car into a crowd of counterprotesters at a white nationalist rally.
An avowed white supremacist who drove his car into a crowd of anti-racism protesters during a white nationalist rally in Virginia has been sentenced to life in prison on hate crime charges.

Fuck that. Fry the bastard. White supremacist groups, all of them, should be classified as terrorist organizations and should be treated as such. Free speach is our right but not free "hate" speach. We need to look at changing this to get hate mongers out of our society.

There should be no punishment greater than life in prison. Even that should be used only in very rare instances.
