And the police have now arrested this man for injuring a white nationalist
protestor.

A savage attack on a counter-protester during Saturday’s violent “Unite the
Right” rally in Virginia evoked memories of the ugliest days of the civil
rights movement, an original Freedom Rider said Monday.
Among the victims of the Charlottesville violence was a local resident who
joined his friends to demonstrate against the organizers of the white
nationalist event in the city’s Emancipation Park.
Deandre Harris, 20, was attacked in a parking lot by a group of white
supremacists who kicked him, punched him and pummeled him with metal poles.
“I was knocked unconscious repeatedly,” Harris wrote on a GoFundMe page set up
to help with his medical expenses. “Every time I went to stand up I was knocked
back down.”

The fund was seeking $50,000. More than $106,000 had been raised by Monday
night.
Video posted on Twitter shows the aspiring hip-hop artist desperately trying to
escape his attackers as they repeatedly strike him with poles and other
objects. The images provide disturbing insight into the level of hate behind
the actions of some of the white nationalists.
One photo, which Harris shared on his GoFundMe page, shows blood dripping down
his face from a gash on his head.

In addition to this account, Greg Palast reports that the "parking lot" was
under the building housing the Charlottesville Police Department. Officers
appeared not to care about what was going on.
But an unknown person filed charges against DeAndre Harris, the victim, and if
convicted, he could face a stiff jail sentence.
It makes me wonder just who raised these White Hate Mongers. If Life were a
football game, I'd say that the Good Guys Team is on their own one yard line,
with three seconds left, trailing 7 to 0 and their great quarterback, God
Almighty takes the ball and throws an interception. And all of the members of
the opposing team rip off their white sheets and do a celebration dance with
their forked tails and forked tongues waggling, and their pointed horns bobbing
up and down.
...What's that! Oh, my alarm just went off. Thank goodness it was only a bad
dream...wasn't it???...
