RICHMOND, VA -- The self-proclaimed leader of the Ku Klux Klan in Virginia was found guilty on Monday of six misdemeanor charges following a June incident where he drove a vehicle into a group of Black Lives Matter protesters. Video footage from June 7 shows Harry H. Rogers driving onto the median to pass a group of cars behind 300 protesters. "I am charging Mr. Rogers with the strongest form of assault and hate crimes permitted under Virginia law," Taylor said. Roger was not found guilty of the hate crime charges. Rogers' attorney George Townsend argued that the cyclist who Rogers is accused of hitting stepped toward Rogers' car during the collision.
