Because I think that they will be sued. As well as whatever company insured the event.

Kessler, in a video posted to his Twitter account, thanked the civil rights groups and attorney-activist Kyle Bristow.

“I want to thank — from the bottom of my heart and from all the attendees of the Unite the Right rally, the ACLU, Rutherford Institute and the great, the legendary Kyle Bristow — for working on this case for us,” he said.

9. No, they won't ... in fact, they better not be. ACLU was RIGHT to defend their right to march ...

I kinda hate that this is the case, but it is true.

And we should NOT wish for them to be sued. That'd set a terrible precedent.

But they won't be.

Say "one side is right"
Avoid "there are not two sides"

Don't use "not". Talk about your own values.
See George Lakoff.
