A federal judge has ordered the white supremacist group Patriot Front and its leader to pay some $2.8 million in damages for violating the civil rights of a Black musician who was attacked by Patriot Front members in Boston’s Back Bay in 2022. The attackers approached Charles Murrell III as he was headed to perform at a Fourth of July event, pinned him to a lamppost and kicked and punched him. They were also heard using a racist insult against Murrell.
