A man found guilty of punching a white supremacist ... fined $1.

Jeffrey Winder was convicted of misdemeanor assault in February after he was found guilty of punching white supremacist Jason Kessler, who organized the Aug. 12, 2017, Unite the Right rally in which 32-year-old counterprotester Heather Heyer was killed.

The day after that rally, Kessler held a press conference where he blamed police and counterprotesters for the violence. That’s when Winder punched him.
Winder was sentenced to 30 days in jail with all the time suspended.
On Tuesday, a jury told Winder to pay a dollar in fines.

At Winder’s trial last week, white supremacist Kessler said he suffered emotional trauma from being hit.
“I was attacked in front of the whole world,
and then people made fun of me for it,” Kessler said.

Well, maybe don't be a nazi jagoff on national television, and that won't happen.

I swear the thing that pisses me off the most about these right-wing assholes is not that they're right-wing...it's that they're assholes who think other people should be responsible for their bullshit:
Don't have the job I want? Blame a brown person.
Can't get laid? Blame ALL the women.
Get made fun of for being a morAn? Well clearly that's everyone ELSE'S fault.

They don't know how to OWN their own bullshit and that's what royally pisses me off lol
