Alex Michael Ramos, who surrendered himself to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office in Georgia on Monday evening, has been charged with one count of malicious wounding. Fellow attacker, Dan Borden, faces a similar charge for the brutal assault of Black school teacher De'Andre Harris, which nearly cost him his life."

Trump's NAZI America

Greg Palast

A special education teacher named De’Andre Harris was beaten with metal poles and a yellow hunk of lumber by a group of white supremacists in a parking garage in Charlottesville on Saturday night.

Harris was saved when some courageous young Black men — with no weapons — ran into the underground garage and the white posse scattered. Except for one. The gunman.

He pulled out what looks to be a 9mm pistol, maybe a Glock semi-automatic, and positioned himself to fire on the rescue squad. But then he heard the click of our photographer Zach D Roberts' camera, just three feet away, and realized he was getting photographed.

Simultaneously, Roberts realized he'd left his bullet-proof vest in his car. In this strange stand-off, the camera proved mightier than the bullet: The would-be shooter figured it would be wiser to quickly conceal the weapon and flee.

The white supremacist attacks on Harris and others this weekend were not isolated incidents. They are connected to a host of ongoing structural attacks against Black people in Virginia.

We will be going back to Virginia on September 9, to the capital, Richmond, to fight for the right for Black folk to arm themselves with the one weapon these white punks fear most: the vote.
