Ohio man gets nearly 4-year sentence for beating black man during Charlottesville rally

Source: NBC News

Daniel Borden was one of four men charged in the beating of DeAndre Harris during the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville.



<snip>

"An Ohio man was sentenced Monday to just under four years in prison for his role in the beating of a black man the day of a white nationalist rally in Virginia.

Daniel Borden was sentenced to 20 years, but most of that sentence was suspended. His active sentence amounts to three years and 10 months.

Borden, of Huber Heights, Ohio, was one of four men charged in the Aug. 12, 2017, beating of DeAndre Harris in Charlottesville.

Last year, Borden entered an Alford plea to malicious wounding. The plea means Borden did not admit guilt, but acknowledged prosecutors had enough evidence to convict him."

Hope some journalist follows him to see whether he thinks ganging up on an defenseless man was worth it. I’m skeptical, but maybe a few years of reflection will change his views.

Whoever would call this mess a "man," also?





He's not good enough to go around without a keeper.

Hope his trash parents are proud of the poison they have dumped into the world.

16. Surely he'll be scooped up by the Aryan Nation behind bars and protected.

Which is probably a good thing for him, as he doesn't look like the sturdiest brand of prison material. Three and a half years of watching his back in prison around non-whites will be pretty stressful if he survives.
