A person of interest in the Harris attack in Ch'ville is from Mason, OH -- but police don't know

where he currently lives. They can't arrest someone they can't find, so the FBI is involved in the investigation.

Also, he became a person of interest because of photos posted online. Photo ID's have been proven wrong in the past, and so the police will have to investigate this case just like any other. Even if they knew where he was currently living, the photos themselves are not enough basis to convict him.

He does have a nasty background, however. I can see why his former classmates think it was him.

When he was 13 years old, Daniel Borden called another student at Mason Middle School "Jew boy" because of the size of his nose, according to police records.

Police in Virginia say Borden, now 19, is a person of interest in their investigation into the beating of a black man captured in a viral photo and video during white supremacist protests that turned deadly there Saturday.

“When you look at the photos and video, it appears to be him," Charlottesville police Sgt. J.R. Via told The Enquirer.

Borden has not been charged in the incident. During the nationwide attempt to identify people who marched at the rallies, there have been several instances where social media got it wrong.

Although the video has made Borden's name known across the country, it still not clear where he lives. Centerville police told the Dayton Daily News none of the men in the photo live there.

That's why Charlottesville police say the investigation could be a lengthy one, but they say that won't stop the investigation.

Welcome to the world of adults little boy, I wonder where he got his beliefs?, I would think his parents, imagine what a world he grew up in where it's ok to attack people of a different color, disgusting.

Too bad his parents, if responsible, can't be held responsible for his actions, but then he didn't grow to this level of hate just yesterday, it's been his world for awhile now.

He needs to put where he can see the error of his ways, for a long, long time.
