Robert Paul Rundo is a founding member of the Rise Above Movement and lead defendant among 3 men charged with recruiting and training others to commit violence at rallies in Huntington Beach, Berke…
An appellate court partially agreed, finding that portions of the Anti-Riot Act intruded on protected speech.They determined that parts of the Anti-Riot Act are constitutional, including those focusing on “unprotected speech” and “unprotected conduct” concerning acts of violence “in furtherance of a riot.”
Charges against a fourth defendant, Aaron Eason of Anza, initially indicted alongside Rundo, Boman and Laube, were dismissed earlier this year, court records show. It isn’t clear exactly when Rundo traveled to Romania, how long he was in the country or what he was doing there. According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the Justice Department’s Office of International Affairs and the FBI’s Legal Attache Office in Bucharest worked with Romanian officials to find, arrest and extradite Rundo.
Other members of the Rise Above Movement have previously been convicted in federal court, including four members who took part in the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia when counter-protestor Heather Heyer was killed and dozens of others injured.
