Jason Kessler, the organizer of the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, has been indicted by an Albemarle County grand jury on a felony perjury charge.

According to court records, the charge stems from a sworn statement he made in January.

Kessler gave a statement to a magistrate on Jan. 23, 2017, claiming that he was assaulted by James Taylor on the Downtown Mall while trying to gather signatures for his petition to get Wes Bellamy removed from the Charlottesville City Council.

However, Kessler later pleaded guilty to assaulting Taylor and charges were dismissed against Taylor.

Kessler admitted to punching Taylor in the face after a confrontation over his petition.

"He and his buddy came over, they scribbled on my petition and vandalized it," said Kessler. "James didn't want to have a conversation with me, he yelled you're a....and he called me a name. I felt threatened and I hit him to get him away from me."

On the other hand, Taylor says he was simply killing time on the mall with his dog and a cup of coffee.

"He handed me his clipboard so I could read it and I handed it back to him," said Taylor. "I said what I said to him and he didn't like it."

Taylor and Kessler both say curse words were exchanged before Kessler punched Taylor in the face, busting his lip.

Kessler went on to say, "Man to man, yell in a man's face and expect to get punched in the face."

When asked in April about the dropped charges and his accusations of assault against Taylor, Kessler walked away from reporters.

"I'll admit that what I did was not legal," Kessler said earlier that day, though. "I was having a bad day. I've never done anything like this before and it will never happen again."

And now we've come full circle.

Did this altercation happen before or after the Spencer punch?

Richard Spencer was punched January 20th. The dude in the article was in front of a magistrate about punching someone on the 23rd, so he could have possibly punched someone days before Spencer was.

Well that would potentially change the narrative if the Nazis swung first.

We also already have nazis stabbing themselves because of their own haircuts, so them not understanding the perception of their own appearances is out too.

Hey, this one sounds familiar too. Guess it really is just disingenuous trolls on the internet that don't expect to get punched for their conduct out in public.

Kessler really setting himself up to be locked up for a very long time. Good, fuck him. I can't wait for the civil case from the victims brought against him for organizing a violent protest resulting in their injuries and a death.

I'd have to know what was on the petition and what specifically was said before I say Kessler was in the wrong here. Legally he's clearly in the wrong, but if you're screaming in another man's face you should probably expect retaliation.

I think we could probably fill in some of the blanks ourselves for the "what was said" bit.

Considering one guy is already up for perjury and is also a neo-nazi while the other guy has neither of those points against him, it's a pretty safe bet to assume that Kessler is absolutely in the wrong here.

I'm not talking about the legality of the situation. I'm talking about the fight between Kessler and Taylor. If the petition was just a regular petition and Taylor disagreed and started screaming in Kessler's face, I don't feel any sympathy for him getting punched. If the petition was racist and Kessler was acting like a dick, then that changes things.

Kessler is a Neo-Nazi that got his panties in a bunch over the idea of a black man removing a statue of a Confederate general. And then punched a guy that refused to sign his petition to remove said black man from office. What more do you need to start making obvious conclusions?

Totally the same as punching someone who is preaching genocide tho. There are consequences for refusing to sign that petition right Liberals?! - CE conservatrolls.

He said the guy scribbled on his petition and ruined it, and then started screaming in his face. Don't diminish that. I agree that Kessler is a piece of shit. All I'm talking about is why the punch was thrown--if Taylor was being aggressive first, or if Kessler was.

He also said Taylor punched him, and that was proven wrong. Hence the perjury charge. I'm more inclined to take the word of the dude that got punched.

That's fair. And I'm not taking either of their words 100%. I'm saying I would prefer to know what actually happened before I decide if the punch was morally wrong or not.

If Kesslers side had much merit then he wouldn't have been slapped with a perjury charge. Don't need to delve much further than that.
