I suppose I should have squeezed “allegedly” into the title somewhere as Borden has not been convicted...yet….but the good news is that police in Cincinnati have cuffed him, and the video evidence and the good work of former Kossack Shaun King should help to ensure his conviction.
The police arrested two men, including a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and were seeking a third in connection with violent episodes that took place at the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., this month, including the beating of an African-American man that was caught on video and widely shared on social media….
….
Daniel P. Borden, 18, was charged with malicious wounding in connection with the aggravated assault on Mr. Harris, the police said. He was arrested Friday and was being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center in Cincinnati, the Charlottesville police said in a statement.
The authorities also released a wanted poster for Alex Michael Ramos, 33, of Marietta, Ga. He was also charged with malicious wounding, a felony punishable by one to five years in prison.”
Also arrested yesterday near Baltimore was Richard W. Preston, 52, an Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. His wizardry wasn’t strong enough to prevent his capture and being charged with discharging a weapon within 1,000 ft. of a school which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Still being sought is a second suspect in the beating of DeAndre, whom has been identified as Alex Michael Ramos, 33, of Marietta, Ga., pictured below in the white sleeveless T getting ready to kick DeAndre while he’s down (so brave!).
As we all know all to well, arrests for crimes committed against black men are hardly convictions and we all should remain vigilant and follow this story closely to help to see that justice is done.
I will post updates as they become available.
