http://www.ajc.com/news/local/warrant-issued-for-marietta-man-connected-charlottesville-beating/c3KnAXcx0p4M1RJatJgXzN/* NAZI waste of skin Daniel Borden’s claiming it was somehow Black Lives Matter’s fault that he and a group of other racist thugs targeted a random African American man, Deandre Harris, for brutal assault in Charlottesville, continuing to beat with metal poles and kick the innocent victim as he tried to crawl away in between bouts of unconsciousness. How BLM forced him to do this seems pretty unclear to me, but his lawyer insists this is the case.
Other reports are showing he has a long history of racism, including threatening a student with a knife white yelling anti-Semetic slurs in Middle School. I am having a hard time finding one good article that contains the racist history while not trying to humanize him and make him somehow the victim instead of someone who pretty clearly tried to murder an innocent person because he hates black people, that will not also eat one of your ten NYTimes or Washington Post clicks for the month.
This link is the closest I came. TW: Picture of a group of Neo_NAZIs very nearly beating an innocent man to death. Seriously, Deandre Harris is lucky to be alive and the pictures of his injuries are horrific. "Ex-Mason High School student charged in Charlottesville beating:"

I have trouble believing there are no qualified black actor to play a lead role in 1972. I name lots of examples of leading man and leading man quality actors of the sixties nd seventies.
