About this listen

In April 2025, the Supreme Court declined to hear a case filed by a pair of white supremacists who felt the police had violated their civil rights by refusing to help them put on a rally in Charlottesville in August of 2017. Their lawsuit was a joke, but unfortunately for all of us, the punchline is that the police don't actually have to help anyone.Sources:https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/neo-nazi-lawyer-represents-baltimore-suit-over-wrongful-arrest-and-19-year-imprisonment/https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/leaked-emails-name-shadow-lawyer-charlottesville-case/https://www.hunton.com/media/publication/34613_final-report-ada-compliant-ready.pdfhttps://www.courthousenews.com/attorney-accused-of-neo-nazi-ties-argues-for-new-shot-at-libel-case/https://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/21-5952.htmlhttps://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/20-1241.htmlhttps://www.supremecourt.gov/search.aspx?filename=/docket/docketfiles/html/public/24-891.htmlhttps://www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2016/03/city-council-members-call-to-remove-robert-e-lee-statuehttps://legacylis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604.exe?981+ful+CHAP0752https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title15.2/chapter18/section15.2-1812/https://www.danielshular.com/charlottesvillehttps://angrywhitemen.org/2021/12/22/neo-nazi-activist-wants-to-desensitize-white-people-to-hitler-and-holocaust-denial/#more-54777https://valawyersweekly.com/2023/05/11/unite-the-right-attendees-suit-vs-officials-dismissed/https://www.splcenter.org/resources/hatewatch/white-nationalist-organization-forms-racist-antisemitic-political-party/https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/students-horrified-about-coach-with-white-nationalist-ties-school-says/2018/01/10/81617f88-f5a4-11e7-b34a-b85626af34ef_story.htmlhttp://decisions.courts.state.ny.us/fcas/fcas_docs/2013JUL/3001010882012002SCIV.pdfhttps://www.oyez.org/cases/2004/04-278https://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-4th-circuit/1709128.htmlhttps://caselaw.findlaw.com/court/us-4th-circuit/1336802.html Julia Steiner, Beware of the Dangers of the State-Created Danger Doctrine: A Look at the Ninth Circuit's Approach, 79 U.
