Former Athens man, injured in Charlottesville, wins $10,000 in court from neo-Nazi group

Athens NEWS Associate Editor
A former Athens County resident on Wednesday accepted a judgment offer made by a Cincinnati-based neo-Nazi group sued in connection to the severe injuries he sustained at the 2017 “unite the right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
According to federal court documents, William Burke will be rewarded $10,000 from The Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP), one of many far-right hate groups present at the rally that he sued.
TWP is a Southern Poverty Law Center designated hate group that “advocates for racially pure nations and communities and blames Jews for many of the world’s problems.”
The judgment entry — which is not the same as a settlement — essentially means that TWP will pay that sum in exchange for being released from the lawsuit. Burke’s attorney, Micheal Fradin, said that $1,000 of the anticipated payment will be donated to the PRIZM LGBTQA+ Youth Art Program, an after-school group in Athens for young members of the LGBTQ community.
