I talked to Molly on the street here yesterday. Her dogs were so sweet.

For more insight and commentary read the whole thread on Twitter.

Replying to @socialistdogmom

for his brutal assault on deandre harris on 8/12/17 in charlottesville, daniel borden was sentenced to 20 years, with 16yrs 2mo suspended. that’s an active sentence of 3yrs 10mo. he’ll get credit for the approximately 16 months he’s already served, so he’ll be out in 2.5 years.

he has 20 years of good behavior beginning *today,* not upon release. that means he has to be on his best behavior in jail or risk having to serve that full 20 years. he will have 5 years of supervised probation upon release.

DeAndre was hit in the head with a metal pipe. He could have died. He almost certainly has some brain injury.

Nearly 4 years of hard time seems appropriate.

Then I thought about whom he would be hanging out with in prison.

And how much worse a monster he might have become upon release.

I believe that white supremacists can be deprogrammed. It's just a question of will and money.
