MASON, Ohio (WKRC) - Deondre Harris was badly beaten by several men armed with poles and boards. It happened while he was at a counter protest to the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Harris says stranger helped keep him alive.
Police are still looking for the men who beat Harris, but one man's identity was outed on Twitter. Officers say he has been identified as Daniel Borden and he was a student in Mason.

(4,940 posts)The truth will come, hopefully. And speaking of hope? My neighbor, a young man who just moved to "town" from his village is playing a little basketball and has Steppenwolf on his player (whatever it is). This is so encouraging. He is an awesome kid. Starts at University of Alaska in about a week.
He'll help rock the world. Unlike the losers in the pictures. (Not DeAndre's family, but the rednecked supremacist assholes.)

(2,050 posts)You should have stayed home, now your entire life for the remainder of your days is fucked, irrevocably fucked, and you did it to yourself.
Too young to realize there are consequences to your actions, you're going to find out very soon that the real world won't put up with you, we won't put up with your hate, your bigotry, you in general.
Welcome to the world of adults, you're about to get a crash course.
erronis
(15,286 posts)But your comments are absolutely right on.
The young people with malleable brains are swept up into these group-think organizations. Brothers (usually), Sisters.
But for good chance I could have gotten my ass into a lot of permanent trouble in those teen-twenty years. This poor person (in character and actions) will serve as an example to other young people about how not to go about life.
Of course, the military around the world like people like this. Indoctrinate them early, lead them into war for "just" reasons. One way the rich try population and societal control.

(2,050 posts)Was a Navy Veteran of the Korean War, served 16 years on aircraft carriers, Destroyers, Destroyer Escorts, A.O.G.'s and a Submarine or two, Deputy Sheriff of Yamhill County Oregon for a few years, 20+ years on oceangoing Tugboats.
Volunteer of the Year for Washington State Parks for three years, an Officer in the local Elks club ( I'm an Officer in the Elks for four years running now, I'll be the Exalted Ruler of my lodge in two years ), he volunteered for state office in the Good Sams camping group for seven years, volunteer of the year for the Local Veterans Home, where he volunteered for ten years, father to three and the Best Father ever.
My Father was everything that 45 is not, I'd give anything to have him back.
But I'm glad he didn't have to see what has happened to his beloved Country, it would have pissed him off beyond words.
Just a little more about my Parents, my Mother is just as free with her time for being a volunteer, she just recieved the Distinguished Volunteer of the Year award 2016-2017 from the Washington State Elks, she also spends a lot of time at the local Veterans home, as do I.
I grew up with the Worlds Best Parents, I really did.....
Unlike 45's kids.

(15,286 posts)And it looks like you followed in their footsteps. Congratulations!
I've known a lot of veterans who would not have put up with this P-O-S president. They may have been intrigued by the talking-points of the right but weren't conned by the RW promises. Living through the depression and WW-II, most of them knew what was right and wouldn't have countenanced the "alt-right".
My father was active during the Truman through Nixon administrations. When he saw the way that the news media and the country was being directed by external forces ($'s mainly) he felt betrayed. My wife's father parachuted behind the lines of the NAZIs (RW thugs) and fought through France, Germany. He enjoyed the flashiness of FuxTV but understood that it wasn't real.
I'm coming out to the Olympics in September. I think WA/OR/VT have so much in common. Sorry about a lot of those irritable Red states.
If I was the spawn of DJT, I'd probably drown myself rather then live a life where history points the finger of blame on him - for at least as long as Stalin and Hitler.

(28,125 posts)How could you just document this without yelling for them to stop this heinous crime?
barbtries
(28,798 posts)but the recording is important, and the numbers were not on the videographer's side. i think he was brave to do this though i feel as if i would have been screaming and telling them to stop, we cannot know what we'd do in the situation unless/until we find ourselves in it.

But this is the US, not Syria.
barbtries
(28,798 posts)i'm here in Durham and they've jailed the activist who took down a statue the other night and charged her with a felony. for some reason these thugs are still loose. wonder why that is.
Duppers
(28,125 posts)This is not right. Hope she has great legal representation. I would think that in Durham public opinion would be on her side.
Besides, she did not do this alone.
Thanks for letting us know, barbtries.
barbtries
(28,798 posts)she may not be the only one being prosecuted.
no, she isn't

and all the other confederate statues are being guarded around here. browsing the paper, the big local around here, it looks like it was taken over by Sinclair based on the headlines.
DAMN! The area is more RW than I realized.

(28,125 posts)If not, please do.
Thx.
barbtries
(28,798 posts)it's not on DU already?

(28,125 posts)I read DU thoroughly but could've missed it. Besides, it needs as much attention as possible.
Thx, Barb.

From and article in The Atlantic, October 2016:
"This year, the German public television network ZDF produced a documentary tracing the ideological and financial ties between Russia and extreme right-wing elements"

I hope these bastards get the maximum sentence allowed for what they have done! They could have killed him! In fact, that's probably what they were trying to do.
