D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine announced Tuesday that his office is suing the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers over the January 6 attack at the U.S. Capitol complex. Using a law that had been used to go after the Ku Klux Klan, the civil lawsuit will try to obtain financial relief from the groups.
The civil war-era law was recently used for the first time in modern history in the civil lawsuit Sines v. Kessler, which won $26 million in compensatory and punitive damages from white supremacists and neo-Nazis who helped organize the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017. The "Ku Klux Klan Act," an 1871 statute, was designed to protect African Americans from the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups.
The lawsuit names both individual defendants, like alleged members of the Proud Boys, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Zach Rehl, as well as those allegedly associated with the Oath Keepers, Thomas Caldwell, Donovan Crowl, and Jessica Watkins. The larger organizations of Proud Boys International, LLC, and the Oath Keepers are also named as defendants.

Racine says the goal of the lawsuit is to receive "full restitution and recompense" for the city and its law enforcement officers.
These redneck hillbillies need to be held accountable but it's quite pointless as these clowns don't have any money to go after.
 
Go after their dental insurance!
