I feel really, really fucking stupid. Because I just cannot wrap my head around this. How is any of the legal fallout from this even a single iota... legal?
Someone smarter than I, please enlighten me.
This is supposed to be Earth: The Blue Planet.
It's lookin' awfully Orange, right now.
Orange is the new Orange.
And I am very, very angry right now.

Clearly this would not justify the response. If they really wanted to go down this road they would arrest everyone but the fact that they are only arresting him says something
It says white nationalist right in the lawyer's twitter bio
I'm thinking maybe that should grounds to be disbarred? Or is that only when you criticize the President's racism? What do I know

All in the name of "both sides" and to place blame on the victim because the dp did nothing considering the attack took place literally next door to the police station.
So, as far as I can tell, white supremacists got footage together, showed it to a Magistrate, and the Magistrate decided that based on that, it was reasonable to issue a warrant for Deandre Harris. Once issued, the police are required to serve it, which they did. Harris's lawyer will be taking him in for an arrest, at which point the police claim they will release the evidence the warrant is based on.
The Magistrate system is designed to make the police answerable to citizens, so if they aren't investigating something they should, you can go to them and they'll force the police to investigate. It seems clear that it's being misused here to harrass the victim.
The feds will probably just think hes part of that new terrorist group they made. Theyll just say hes a BIE.
You mean the Feds who recently took white supremacists off the watch list and replaced them with "black identity extremists?"
America's forever fucked. I don't know what to do. We might be unsalvagable.
What feds? Sessions' justice department or the FBI who are more interested in targeting black activists than white supremacists?

These people are terrifying. It's incredible that they can be so organized in the name of such hatred.
Where is this kind of organization against this kind of injustice? We call out how bad it is and complain but who's actually working to do anything about it? There's peaceful protest after peaceful protest, but what else can people do to take a stand?

This the hit?
Is that a hammer?
Maybe. Can you identify all the weapons in this picture as well?
You know, the picture of four men beating another man, factoring in our present reality that only one of them was arrested and said suspect is now trying to claim what's happening in this photo was valid, restrained self defense?

Sure those look like fucking clubs and pipes and shit, even worse. Nobody fucking deserves that. I'm just trying to wrap my head around if he was clubbing someone over the head with a hammer prior? The whole situation just seems fucked up, and all the guys beating him up should be thrown in jail.
How the FUCK are white nationalist cunts like this shithead allowed to spew their hatred on Twitter so brazenly? Why does nobody in charge seem to care?

Because the people in charge are deeply racist or willing to tolerate racism for the sake of money.
Could be. Either way, he swung a weapon of some sort at the old guy's head. Don't know if he made contact, but this is not good for him.
1) Him swinging a hammer does not warrant multiple people beating him, knocking him down, and continuing to beat him.
2) Why is he getting arrested when only one, ONE, of the people beating him has had the same happen?
Harris *attempted* to injure someone. Everyone else succeeded in injuring someone. They're out there walking around, proud of beating a black man and getting away with it.

You mean the old neo nazi looks like he is trying to impale the dude next to him with his flag. You can even see the old guy lunging forward.

And none of you Americans are going out and protesting this shit. Just being outraged online.
The more people equate that hammer thrust (if thats what it was) to the beating Harris received, the clearer you can witness white supremacy in action.
You don't have any idea what we're doing.

Na, when making the gif I looked around for videos of other angles and now my youtube recommendations are all fucked. Anyhow it looks like someone grabbed the old guy's flag, they're tugging back and forth with the old guy obviously loosing, Harris swings something at the old guy's head and old guy seems to jerk his head back enough so it misses.

This country is shit.
I agree with you on 1. Either way, this footage is bad for him, because it gives racists an excuse in their minds. It's really hard to tell if he actually makes contact with whatever he swung at the guy, but I would imagine if he'd done any real damage the old guy's name would be out there.
I thought two attackers were arrested? Not sure about the other folks, but I'm guessing there isn't video out there that can identify them. I hope they catch every one of them.
This literally happened tonight. People don't just mobilize that fast.

Just talk to half of this forum that thinks us going out and protesting is inconveniencing them
This the hit?
Unlawfully wounding a guy coming at you with a stick.
He unlawfully wounded these fuckers in the fists too, while he was being beat on.
We literally have a 20 day protest going on right now in relation to similar racial injustice in a different state. But yeah, we don't meet your precious European protest purity tests, sorry
