Richmond, June 11 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of Virginia, a man who claims to be a leader of the Ku Klux Klan has been arrested after driving his car into a group of protesters in Richmond on Sunday night.  Harry Rogers was charged with assault and battery.  Local authorities described him as an “admitted leader of the Ku Klux Klan and a propagandist for Confederate ideology.”

Meanwhile, in Bakersfield, California, there have been at least three recent cases where drivers ran into protesters.  On Saturday, a 55-year-old African American named Robert Forbes died after being hit earlier in the week by a white driver.  No charges have been filed, but witnesses have accused the driver of intentionally trying to hit protesters.
