Hey everyone,
I have the opportunity to confront some of the journalists who misreported the DeAndre Harris fight in Charlottesville.
I've been writing a sort of "report" in order to make sure I know my shit. These people deserve to be called out, and I don't want to fuck it up.
So I'm going to post my report so far in this thread and if you have anything to add to it, that should be emphasized, if you find any mistakes etc. PLEASE let me know.

The following is an abridged analysis of the DeAndre Shakur Harris attack at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12th, 2017.
[youtube.com
When Unite the Right was ordered to disperse from Lee Park, activists including those involved or associated with the National Front Coalition (comprising The League of the South, the Traditionalist Workers Party, The National Socialist Movement and National Vanguard) were forced to exit the park and into the streets which had become filled with hundreds of counter-protesters, some associated with Antifa and Black Lives Matter. With little police protection, the UtR protesters began making their way through East Market Street. Some of the counter-protesters stalked the them as they moved down the street.
One of these counter-protestors, DeAndre Harris, can be seen marching alongside a group of black activists with his face covered by neckerchief. Video evidence demonstrates he arrived as a member of this group. One member of the group is carrying a Pan-African or UNIA flag, the flag of Black Nationalism. Another holds a sign which reads “Black Lives Matter”. One quotes Islamic scripture. One of the counter-protesters swings a stick around his head clumsily and appears to be under the influence. Additionally, a billy club is held aloft by one member, who makes various threats along with the rest of the group in an attempt to intimidate or instigate conflict with UtR protestors, “Do something my nigga”.
Harris attended the rally with black activist Corey Long, seen throughout the riots starting a series of fires with an aerosol can and a lighter. Earlier, Long had directed his makeshift flamethrower towards a group of UtR protestors carrying Confederate flags, causing a panic. A protestor fired a warning shot at the ground. Surrounding activists assaulted one of the protesters, stole his Confederate flag, and Long burned it in the street.
Outside the Market Street Parking Garage near the Charlottesville Police Department building, Harris, Long and their group attempted to steal another Confederate flag from a group they had been following. This started a tug of war between Harold Ray Crews of the League of the South and Long for the flag. Eventually, Harris pulls out a large Maglite flashlight which he had been seen holding earlier in the day. Harris then swings the flashlight at Crews. Harris strikes Crews across his head and left shoulder, as captured in a since-deleted video by Buzzfeed News.
Harris’ actions were taken seriously by surrounding UtR protesters, who responded quickly by unleashing a can of pepper spray, which filled the parking lot entrance, causing disorientation and chaos as the fight unfolded. One of Harris’ group attempts to flee and leaps into Harris, knocking Harris to the floor. As Harris’ gets back up, some of his group attack a UtR protestor in a white helmet who falls to the ground unconscious, provoking an all-out brawl between both sides. As Harris attempts to flee, he is quickly surrounded and his infamous beating occurs. Harris is struck from all angles by poles, pipes and wooden boards. Eventually, his assailants relent and Harris scrambles to his feet, stumbling over himself several times, dazed and afraid- the UtR protestors loudly warn him to leave and he runs away.
Charlottesville Police Department was present on the scene, however video documentation shows they did little to prevent the escalation of violence. Occasionally they can be seen chastising violent protestors outside the parking lot and meekly attempt to break-up fights, which end on account of their presence and not their actions. As the parking lot battle occurred, officers did not get involved and instead preoccupied themselves observing various street fights, occasionally yelling at the combatants. The disorganized and apathetic police response to the violence left protesters and counter-protesters with the responsibility of defending themselves. Harris’ injuries were treated by volunteer street medics on the scene as proper emergency medical treatment was not made available by the Charlottesville police. Eventually he was taken to the hospital.

The DeAndre Harris beating became a social media phenomenon and news of the incident quickly went viral. In particular, photojournalist Zach Roberts’ shots of the fights were shared rapidly as a narrative about Harris’ innocence spread. Clips from Chuck Modi’s livestream were used frequently in news reports, but only the part of the stream immediately following the fight for the flag and the flashlight assault. Local news WAVY10 TV claimed “It starts with a man on the ground” [youtu.be
Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King launched an Internet campaign to identify the men involved in the beating. This led to the identifying of Daniel Borden by citizen journalist group Bellingcats. Borden was an 18 year old member of the national socialist Traditionalist Workers Party. Days after Borden was charged by police, a warrant went out for Alex Michael Ramos, a Puerto-Rican activist associated with non-racist civic nationalist groups such as the III%ers and the First Order of Alt-Knights. Then, Jacob Scott Goodwin of Arkansas ShieldWall Network was extradited from his state. All three were charged with malicious wounding.
As this happened, DeAndre was setting up a GoFundMe asking for $50,000 for medical expenses and ended up making over $166,000 in donations. Though he promised to spend the money on medical expenses only, it took only months for him to use the money to buy himself a Mercedes-Benz, a $2000 pair of Air Jordans and produced music videos for what he hoped would begin his rap career. The Benz and Jordans can be seen in one video, as well as DeAndre drinking cough syrup mixed with soda (lean) with gang members. DeAndre’s mother is also present in the video as well as hundred dollar bills which are strewn throughout the various scenes. Harris and others are wearing shirts with a picture of his own bloodied face on it. [youtube.com

While DeAndre was making his fortune off his version of events in tear-filled interviews, which were never questioned seriously by journalists, the arrested UtR protesters were in jail and to be tried in Charlottesville, denying their right to a fair trial. The United Nations condemned the “terrible beating of Mr. DeAndre Harris by white supremacists” as Borden and Ramos sat in jail for nearly a year with no opportunity of bail. Eventually they and the others arrested would be found guilty of the alleged crimes and given harsh sentences with multiple years in jail and thousands of dollars in fines.
Harris, however, was not off the hook entirely himself. Harold Ray Crews, the man who had been hit with Harris’ flashlight, was actively pursuing an arrest since the incident occurred. Along with Occidental Dissent bloggers Hunter Wallace and Mark Cicero, Crews repeatedly provided the Charlottesville Police Department with videos of the assault and protested for a warrant to be made for Harris’ arrest. When the CPD refused, Crews took the matter directly to a magistrate and signed a sworn affidavit testifying against Harris. The magistrate agreed there was a strong case to be made, and formally filed a warrant for Harris’ arrest. Harris turned himself in 3 days later. Though facing similar charges as those who had beaten him, DeAndre was immediately released on bail.
Throughout all of the legal battles resulting from the Unite the Right rally, Antifa and and other activists repeatedly showed up to city council meetings and courthouses to rally and disrupt which caused many delays. Many protested the Crews’ actions, saying it was unfair or unusual for a warrant to be approved by going directly to a magistrate. However, this is not illegal, and Alt-Right talk show host Christopher Cantwell, who was featured by Vice News’ piece on the rally, was arrested under the exact same circumstances. Claims were also made that the magistrate had a connection to Crews, though it was never substantiated.
As he awaited trial, DeAndre was pulled over speeding. When he rolled down the window, officers smelled a strong marijuana odour, prompting them to get a warrant to search his car. Inside, they found a loaded AR-15 under a coat on his backseat. He was given a misdemeanour concealed weapon charge and a second misdemeanour charge for transporting a loaded weapon.
Harris’ assault trial was brief. His lawyer argued that Harris was not attempting to beat Harold Ray Crews, but instead to push the flagpole out of Crews and Long’s hands. He claimed that he didn’t mean to hurt Crews, but to prevent him from assaulting Long, claiming Crews was attempting to charge Long and skewer him with the flagpole. However, video evidence clearly demonstrates that Crews’ flagpole was grabbed by Corey Long, twisting Crews around towards Long and prompting the tug of war which led to Harris’ flashlight attack. Harris’ lawyer also argued that his swing was too weak to be considered threatening. Finally, there were claims that the injuries sustained by Crews could not be proven to have come from Harris, and while it’s proven that Harris had swung his flashlight at Crews and struck him, the intent of the swing could not be proven. Harris was found not guilty of assault by Charlottesville Judge Robert Downer.
A month later, following up on his weapons charges, Harris pled guilty. Once again, his Judge was Robert Downer, who dismissed the charges and claimed his bond violation was now irrelevant as this trial was happening after he was proven innocent of the assault which led to his arrest in the first place. DeAndre Shakur Harris was once again a free man, and seems to have stayed out of trouble since and has kept a low profile. None of the other members of Harris’ group have been identified and are not under investigation. Corey Long was given positive news coverage but was eventually charged with disorderly conduct. Despite his role in the chaos throughout the day, he was given 360 days in jail, with all but 10 suspended. He was allowed to serve his 10 days in jail over five weekends.
The paths of Borden, Ramos and Goodwin since the incident however, have not been as easy. After their trials in Charlottesville, Goodwin received a sentence of eight years (with two years suspended), while Ramos received a six years sentence (with the possibility of three years of probation). Borden, who was also tried in Charlottesville, received a severe sentence of 20 years, suspended to three years and ten months of actual incarceration after a plea deal where Borden did not have to confess guilt. They all currently remain in jail.
When it comes to the various horrors of Charlottesville, one doesn’t need to choose sides between the Alt-Right and Antifa. Politics, in this case at least, are irrelevant when it comes to the truth. An investigation into police activity on August 12th uncovered internal disorder that borderlines on gross criminal negligence. First, a State review, which revealed that the police weren’t able to communicate effectively, were completely unorganized, and criticized the department for uncertainty amongst the officers about the “Rules of Engagement” with protesters, leading to police standing by as violence escalated. This criticism was seconded by Black Lives Matter New York leader Hawk Newsome.
Legal firm Hunton & Williams completed the most thorough review to date. [docs.wixstatic.com
The police were under orders not to intervene unless absolutely necessary. The CPD ignored the advice of other cities including Portland and Pikeville, who contacted the CPD to urge them to keep both sides separated. The CPD failed to block the intersection at Fourth and Market Streets, where the Heather Heyer accident occurred. A school security officer had been assigned to the intersection, but got scared and was allowed to leave her post.
anyone getting flashbacks yet?
The CPD were inadequately trained, ignored Department of Homeland Security warnings and were described as being afraid of both the protesters and counter-protesters. The CPD and VSP was alleged to have deliberately pushed the Alt-Right into the crowd of Antifa protesters on Market Street, which was corroborated by photojournalist Zach Roberts. The VSP and CPD has failed to coordinate in their response to the Unite the Right rally. In fact, the Charlottesville Police retreated from Lee Park at the peak of the violence in order to go put on their riot gear.
The report also comments on the DeAndre Harris case. It claims that DeAndre Harris and his friends pursued League of the South members returning to their vehicles in the Market Street Parking Garage. The report claims that Harris initiated the brawl by attacking Harold Crews with his flashlight.
Hunton & Williams’ overall conclusion is that Charlottesville failed to protect both public safety and freedom of expression. They alleged that the CPD allowed Antifa to incite violenceas an excuse to declare Unite the Right an unlawful assembly. Simply put, Charlottesville appeared to be a set up to evade a federal court order. Police Chief Al Thomas is alleged to have destroyed evidence to cover his tracks. Though the Charlottesville police responded to this allegation with the resignation of Thomas, he stays on the payroll, earning $135,000 annually.
In hindsight, it’s a shame that Charlottesville became a condemnation of citizens when the institutional corruption and malfeasance of municipal and state law enforcement is most likely to blame. But for the protesters themselves, ultimately, what President Donald Trump stated in the wake of the rally was as accurate as could be:
“What about the fact that they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do. As far as I’m concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day… I will tell you something. I watched those very closely… you had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent.
And nobody wants to say that, but I’ll say it right now… you had a group on the other side that came charging in, without a permit, and they were very, very violent… I’ve condemned neo-Nazis. I’ve condemned many different groups. But not all of those people were neo-Nazis, believe me.Not all of those people were white supremacists by any stretch. Those people were also there because they wanted to protest the taking down of a statue of Robert E. Lee.
I’m not putting anybody on a moral plane. What I’m saying is this: You had a group on one side and you had a group on the other, and they came at each other with clubs -- and it was vicious and it was horrible. And it was a horrible thing to watch. But there is another side. There was a group on this side. You can call them the left… that came violently attacking the other group.
…and you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides… I saw the same pictures as you did. You had people in that group that were there to protest the taking down of, to them, a very, very important statue…”
One reporter asked “Sir, I just didn’t understand what you were saying. You were saying the press has treated white nationalists unfairly?I just don’t understand what you were saying.”
This remark says it all. Unfortunately, many in the press truly don’t understand how to treat people they don’t like fairly anymore. Even white nationalists (and a Puerto-Rican civic nationalist) deserve a fair analysis in a society where it is still lawful to.
And that is why I wrote this report.
He need a amberlamps?
Anyway, that's it gang. Any info or corrections you may have would be greatly appreciated.
Big if true
Holy fuck who gives a shit about a god damned nigger.
I don't care about this idiot, I give a shit about the guys in jail because of he and the media's lies. An 18 year old kid is in jail for years because of them.
No matter what you say, the report they make will be twisted to fit their narrative. I hate to say it, but you are wasting your time.
Send it to Tim Pool.
I'm not trying to save the world I just want these guys to be uncomfortable for once in their lives
sum it up for speed sake, whos Deandre?
OP is a cool guy, bump
Here's the TL;DR:
DeAndre Harris was a counter-protester associated with BLM who attended the Unite the Right rally.
Media portrayed DeAndre as an innocent man who got ganged up on by white supremacists and beaten. And he was, very badly.
What the media never showed was DeAndre striking Harold Crews with a flashlight, thus setting off the fight that ended with him stumbling in a parking lot, bloodied and broken.
DeAndre got off the hook, crowdfunded $166,000 and started a rap career
The boys who beat him, trying to defend themselves and Crews from counter-protesters got fucked by cops.
Ultimately, the blame is on the Charlottesville Police for their corruption and incompetence.
You okay leaf. That nigger started the fight and then the whites got in trouble for it. That's our justice system now. It's run by Jews and seeks to punish white people.
bump, I agree with this guy , if you did your homework someone would want this story
thanks guys, appreciate it.
Sadly, something like this should've been prepared long long ago! I'm hopelessly amateur. I'll be providing more sources in the final version.
*stomps into your thread*
Bump cause this sounds like a good story that could go mainstream
>Sadly, something like this should've been prepared long long ago
I think the problem is exactly the police here are corrupt as fuck. like the smollette case, even with so much evidence, everything just drags and then gets swept under a rug.
but you are a hero, if anything for trying to get the truth
I made sure to avoid this part of the day as much as possible. Only mentioned it once to demonstrate how inept the police behaved.
thanks for that infographic, that's very helpful.
that story was false as well, she died 10-20 feet from the car
ONE CRISIS AT A TIME! lmao
Here's a nice shot of DeAndre's Maglite pre-Crews-attack
good luck, bud
Here's DeAndre's gang on their way to the rally. youtube.com
Do they seem like they're going to the rally just to "speak their mind" and "peacefully protest"? And yes, that's Corey Long walking with DeAndre and friends, *he showed up with them*!
Does anyone know what the guy in the rasta hat says at the start? "Allah Mullah Salas"?
thanks
Wow what a fucking nigger,
Beat someone with a maglight then got his ass whooped in retaliation and he makes 166K
This country is going down the drain fast.
The media is 80% responsible for this.
They need to be held accountable soon or we're all fucked.
the media is evil, they are literal criminals, complicit in 99% of all these events and even recent "attacks". its so insane right now
Fucking hell
These judges need to be executed.
This is complete heresy.
Idc what skin color either of them are.
The flashlight nigger should be in jail.
I know damn straight if got caught smelling like weed with a firearm I would face a felony immediately and never be allowed to own one again.
WTF this system is so corrupt.
>Idc what skin color either of them are.
I hope that's what these guys take away from all this. These guys could've screamed silly at each other til they went hoarse and go home peacefully IF THE POLICE HAD DONE THEIR JOB.
There were similar situations like this rally in Shelbyville and Pikeville and it didn't turn into a disaster because police tightly separated the Alt-Right and Antifa from each other
share info, wake people up, that's the most effective way to fight back
I have a facebook video which shows how phony the "didn’t mean to hurt Crews" excuse is but I don't think Jow Forums wants me to post it.
bump
thats the jewdicial system for you. jewed to the max.
Thanks for the insight.
no problem
I want to see it though
let's try this
shout out to Puerto-Rican White Supremacist Michael Alex Ramos
final bump!
The first picture isn't even Heather Heyer you retard. Autist exposed with your prosopagnosia. If it helps at all, Heather Heyer didn't wear glasses.
And I'm sure whoever is in the first picture decided the middle of a protest was a good time to undo all of her braids and put it up in to a neatly brushed bun. Good god you white people are hopeless.
It happens in the beginning and the quality is really bad.
>I'm sure whoever is in the first picture decided the middle of a protest was a good time to undo all of her braids and put it up in to a neatly brushed bun
This anti-white person is accurate. I've always had a problem with that picture.
DeAndre is the one in a black jacket with a blue backpack. You can clearly see him strike Harold Crews
I know which one it is, but I can't really tell if he's trying to hit the pole or him. It happens too fast, it's filmed from far and the picture quality is terrible.
This needs a federal investigation. These commies out here whilin.
That's the same recording, just zoomed in.
The "counter protestors" were there illegally right?
that's why i said closer
Unite the Right had a permit. The "counter protesters" did not. When the "state of emergency" was declared, that permit was torn up so all events described happen after that.
Sickening that these snakes are still using this. I just found out Signer worked for Podesta and McAuliffe lol
Thomas Jefferson owned slaves you savage
Multiple crimes committed by counter protesters that day, not the least of which was holding a march through the streets (no permit) during a declared state of emergency (which is a felony) in order to attack another group of protesters (whom the state had granted the proper permits to march)
stupid timestamp didn't work, anyway at 57 to the end in this video is the clearest evidence I've seen that DeAndre Harris started it and they responded.
To me it doesn't really matter. In the end he did hit him which the convicted men saw and acted on. At least, that's the story. In any case, it doesn't really matter whether he tried to hit the flag pole or the person, the outcome was the latter. In that case anyway.
In the nigger's court case, I'm not too sure.
dude, thank you
agreed
at 141 the screen still clearly shows he's pulling his flag, not spearing. Besides why would an old man start shit with 4 fit black 20 somethings. antifa and blm are so pathetic they only start shit with senior citizens.
PLEASE DO THIS... Please!
Good grief, start with this, then end with the above if they want proofs.
old white men are demonized, they don't see an grandfather they see a monster
ha ha fair enough
one last bump!
Good shit OP. You are not a faggot.
Keep it succinct enough to hold viewer interest.
will do, just need to have a thorough version
Damn, they must of kicked him in the mouth! His lips are swollen.
>ended up making over $166,000 in donations.
Are donations taxable?
And if so did they think about it, or just blow all the money.
Saved a bunch of shit from this thread for future red pilling. Great work user.
These people need to be fought. Good luck.
>The media is 80% responsible for this.
agree
>sat in jail for nearly a year with no opportunity of bail.
Just want to let everyone know, we have a better conviction rate than N. Korea.
>The police were under orders not to intervene unless absolutely necessary.
I think it was a set up to make the right look bad.
I wish I could conclusively agree. Until I see more info I have to conclude that the police department were corrupt and malfeasant throughout the day
yea, I'm still MAGA.
In that moment he demonstrated remarkable clarity.
You are retarded
