Avowed KKK leader who drove through crowd at BLM protest in Henrico gets 6-year sentence; he still faces felony countshttps://richmond.com/news/local/crime/avowed-kkk-leader-who-drove-through-crowd-at-blm-protest-in-henrico-gets-6-year/article_4278e52b-a53f-5b94-b4a8-230094c696f4.html
A Hanover County man and avowed Ku Klux Klan leader boasted on social media shortly after he drove through a crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters in Henrico County in June, according to video shown during a trial on Monday.
They scattered like cockroaches, said Harry H. Rogers, 36, in a Facebook live video he posted after the June 7 incident, in which no one was seriously injured, and shortly before he was arrested by Henrico police. Its kind of funny if you ask me.
Rogers was convicted Monday of six misdemeanors, but no hate crime, and sentenced to 12 months in jail for each. He still faces three felony charges of attempted malicious wounding one count for each of the three people struck in connection with the same incident.
The three felony counts were also certified Monday by the same Henrico County General District Court judge who found him guilty of four simple assaults, property damage and hit-and-run.
The felony counts will be heard by a grand jury in September.

Read the article for a fuller description of just how proud Harry Rogers was of his handiwork. We'll have to wait until next month for the trial on the felony charges, but I'm guessing Mr. Rogers isn't laughing quite so much now. He's about to enter a whole new neighborhood.
