LINK Three men sentenced for assaulting protesters before 2017 Charlottesville rally
This was buried in the news cycle. And yet again, the word "terrorist" doesn't appear anywhere, in charges, conviction or even the ruling. A brand of white privilege that really needs to be addressed.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.They are not labeled terrorists because they are not terrorists, they are simple thugs using prejudice as an excuse for barbaric behaviour.
Terrorist are motived by political, ideological, religious or the need to raise funds for one or more of the above causes.
These morons just wanted to be violent for the sake intimidation.
Calling these fuckwits would be crediting them with too much intelligence.

So, they were tried and convicted and will be doing time. I'm not sure where White Privilege comes into play here.

I believe the point is that the news of this was buried and that they were not labelled "terrorists" because they were white.
@Athena
Possibly. More likely, simply not deemed newsworthy.
It's possible. But, it's also likely it would have made more news under different circumstances, where a group of non white attackers committed this crime.
It's also likely they would have been called terrorists.
@Athena
True. I think it's whatever sells advertising. And your scenario would be more "sensational".... sadly.
They should be called domestic terrorists!
Typical fake news left or right which is really right of center and fascist far right.....shows you fake news is controlled by NY ATLANTA & the secret bowels of silicon valley....hoping to make our divisive rulers happy with fake news of the week....hiding genocide in Palestine Ukraine and starving families everywhere
