Glad at least the first two charges were not contested, but the rest of it is just damning. There needs to be forward thinking in this case as to how we can still get our First Amendment-protected speech heard, and how not to get trapped in a sticky situation in the future.

Now, an interesting question related to UTR. I recall many saying that these protests would have elevated the alt-right to mainstream political presence had there not been such a scary scene at the rally and a major fallout for nationalists after August 12. What if tension between both sides of the protest remained calm, and the Fields situation never happened?
