Police in Charlottesville, Virginia Monday issued a warrant for 20-year-old DeAndre Harris, a black man who was beaten at a white nationalist rally in August.




Lt. Stephen Upman said an alleged victim went to the magistrate’s office to describe the events leading up to a violent assault against Harris at the East Market Street parking garage. Video of that assault went viral in the aftermath of the violent white supremacist rally earlier this year.

According to police, Harris is wanted for unlawful wounding; he is accused of attacking one of the men who participated in his assault. Two of his attackers were charged with malicious wounding in September.

Watch video of the attack below, via Twitter:

the victim of a viscious attack is to be arrested, for protecting himself. What happened to the guys that beat him bloody? Did they go back to the suberbs and never hear from cops?

American Idiot
Green Day
Don't wanna be an American idiot
Don't want a nation under the new media
And can you hear the sound of hysteria?
The subliminal mind-fuck America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Well maybe I'm the faggot America
I'm not a part of a redneck agenda
Now everybody do the propaganda
And sing along to the age of paranoia
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue
Don't wanna be an American idiot
One nation controlled by the media
Information Age of hysteria
It's calling out to idiot America
Welcome to a new kind of tension
All across the alien nation
Where everything isn't meant to be okay
Television dreams of tomorrow
We're not the ones who're meant to follow
For that's enough to argue

I'm not joking. There have been cases where cops have charged their victims with assault for their blood getting on the officer's uniforms.

Are they claiming the flashlight attack occurred before the parking garage attack?
