So, we have this now:

Jury finds Unite the Right defendants liable for more than $26 million in damages

$12 million of the damages were against James Fields, the guy who rammed his car into a crowd of protestors and killed a woman (and who seems rather unlikely to have $12 million in spare change). So that leaves around $14 million levied against the organizers of the rally due to the damage and injuries that occurred.

This… this precedent has potential. For example:

Widespread vandalism and looting during BLM protests will cost the insurance $2 BILLION after violence erupted in 140 cities in the wake of George Floyd’s death

I have little doubt that there’ll be a whole lot of “yeah, but, no, see, the thing is…” from those trying to deflect responsibility from those who spent a year or more fomenting violence and arson and death on a nationwide scale. And I’ve little doubt that there will be few city, county, state officials with the integrity and courage to bring these suits. But those suits that are brought *should* be enough to bring historically vast damages: a billion or more in compensation to cover the property that was destroyed, and a few dozen billion in punitive damages for being a bunch of hatred- and violence-spewing dickheads.

And there is also this potential source for a massive lawsuit:

‘It sounds like the revolution has started in Wisconsin’: Black Lives Matter activist says Waukesha Christmas parade horror that left five dead was linked to Rittenhouse verdict

It’s actually *six* dead with the passing of an eight year old child: https://www.gofundme.com/f/waukesha-parade-attack-sparks-family

If the racist hate crime in Waukesha turns out to have actually been a result of anger over the Rittenhouse verdict, the families of the injured and the dead would seem to have a massive case not only against the perpetrator but also the same news outlets, celebrities and polticians who spent a year lying about the facts of the case in order to gin up hatred.
