Third white supremacist found guilty of beating black man during Charlottesville protest

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

One at a time, the white supremacists filmed last year battering a black man in a parking garage in Charlottesville, Virginia, are learning that they will be facing significant jail time.

Following a series of guilty verdicts over the past few weeks, a judge on Monday found Daniel Borden, 19, guilty of assaulting DeAndre Harris during last August’s deadly “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville.

Borden, who was filmed beating Harris with a stick — all while wearing a white hard hat that read “Commie Killer” — entered an Alford plea, effectively admitting that enough evidence existed to find him guilty.

The presiding judge recommend a six-year sentence for Borden, who will receive his formal sentence in October.

Despite his youth, Borden already has a notable history of white supremacist violence and rhetoric. For instance, according to WCPO, a former middle school classmate accused Borden of threatening him with a knife, calling him “Jew Boy.” Borden, who had previously been charged with disorderly conduct for threatening a school shooting, also reportedly claimed to be a member of a group called “Brothers of Confederacy.”

1. Trump won't even notice

And if he does, you can bet he won't be calling these poor misunderstood white men "animals."

3. Shit no he wouldn't call them Animals

He calls them his base.

2. It would make my week, my month, and maybe even my year (thus far)

if EVERY SINGLE White House press corps reporter tomorrow asked Sarah Huckabee Sanders some variation of the question "Does Trump consider Daniel Borden to be a 'fine person' or not?" and nothing else.

She would never give a straight-up yes or no to the question anyways, but I'd love to see her fume over the perseveration.

4. Thank goodness someone filmed it.

These idiots are finding out that people are armed with cellphones and aren't afraid to use them. I guess soon they will wise up and start wearing hoods again instead of polo shirts, tan pants arm bands with hate symbols and messages on them.

5. I'm in favor of restorative justice in this instance

Community service in a diverse setting as part of the sentencing.

6. +1

I didn't know there was a name for it.

7. He will go to jail,

join a white power gang there, and come out an even worse threat to society. Who are "animals" again?
