KKK member who drove into protestors sentenced to 3 years in prison

 

 

 A member of the Ku Klux Klan was sentenced to three years in prison for driving his pickup truck through a crowd of Black Lives Matter protestors. 

Harry Rodgers, 37, was convicted of three counts of assault and battery, one count of destruction of property and one count of hit and run. 

Rogers was originally sentenced to six years in jail, but he appealed that conviction. 

Police say Rogers drove over a median near a confederate monument and through a group of protestors. He ran over a man’s toe and hit a woman, though nobody was seriously injured.

On social media Rogers bragged about the incident.

“This Chevrolet 2500 went up on the curb and through the protest,” he said on a Facebook video. “They started scattering like f*cking cockroashes…Its’s funny if you ask me.”

He told the court he was sorry for his actions, he said that he “didn’t make the right decisions that day,”
