Injuries sustained by a young African American man at Charlottesville 8/12/17:

"About fifteen minutes or so after that I was brutally attacked by white supremacists in the parking garage right beside the Charlottesville Police Station. I was chased and beat with metal poles. I was knocked unconscious repeatedly. Every time I went to stand up I was knocked back down. VIDEO If it was not for my friends that I came with I would have been beaten to a pulp. No law enforcement stepped in to help me. Once I was dragged off to some near by steps I was taken to the designated area for injured protesters & counter-protesters. My injuries were too extensive to be treated at the scene so I was taken to the ER at Martha Jefferson Hospital. I was diagnosed with a concussion, an ulnar fracture, and had to receive eight staples in my head. I also have a laceration across my right eyebrow, abrasions on my knees & elbows, and a chipped tooth."
*****************************
These fascists are clearly well-organized and armed, middle class white males. They are not the usual crackpots. We now have a political vacuum in this country since the Democrat-Republicans have nothing to offer, the anti-fascist organizations are not yet strong enough and the fascists are trying to take advantage of it.
