.
Its been two years since neo-Nazis marched with Tiki torches in Charlottesville, Virginia, and a new report from the Anti-Defamation League has found that many of the marchers have not fared well since that fateful weekend in August 2017.
The ADL this week published a Where Are They Now? guide to the 2017 Charlottesville demonstrators and found that a good deal of them suffered from various repercussions for their actions, including imprisonment, job loss, de-platforming or banning users who violate their terms of service on social media platforms, travel bans and rejection by friends and family.
Among those who saw their lives ruined by their participation in the rally are three former active-duty Marines who were discharged by the Marine Corps after they were discovered marching in Charlottesville.
The report also found that more than a dozen Unite the Right marchers have since been imprisoned for various crimes, most notable Ohio resident James Alex Fields, Jr., who was convicted of murdering counter-protester Heather Heyer after he plowed his car into a group of people.

has almost completely disintegrated the groups. These people are still out there of course but from what Ive read most of their organizations have splintered. The reason is that they showed their faces and were caught due to social media.
