White Nationalist Convicted for Beating of Deandre Harris at Charlottesville - Sensationalist Headlines

An Arkansas man has been convicted of malicious wounding for beating a black man during a white nationalist rally last year in Charlottesville, Va. Jacob Scott Goodwin, 23, will be sentenced in August. The jury is recommending 10 years in prison and a $20,000 fine, local TV station NBC 29 reports. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/57926/efbd358e-4fc5-4689-b5f7-69bfe2570f14/image.png A photo provided by the Lonoke County Sheriff's Office shows Jacob Scott Goodwin of Ward, Ark. On Aug. 12, 2017, the day of the Unite the Right rally, Goodwin was one of several white men who attacked DeAndre Harris, 20, surrounding him, kicking him and hitting him with poles as he lay curled on the ground in a parking garage. Harris was left with multiple injuries. Goodwin was wearing a helmet and goggles and carrying a shield. Photos and videos from that day show he was also wearing white nationalist and white supremacist symbols: the logo of a neo-Nazi group, as well as a numerical code for Heil Hitler. Goodwin had argued that he acted in self-defense after seeing Harris swing a flashlight at a man who is a state-level chairman of a white nationalist group. (That man previously pressed charges against Harris, who says he was aiming at a flagpole the man was holding; Harris was acquitted.) A group of men "stormed Harris immediately after that confrontation, beating him to the ground with poles in a parking garage," NPR's Colin Dwyer reported. NBC 29 reports: "[Goodwin's] attorney said Harris kept getting up after being hit, and since the men beating him saw Harris as an attacker they 'didn't know what he would do.' " Harris testified that he was trying to run away from the men. NPR ______________________________________________________________________ This scum's lawyer also tried to last minute hail mary a race card toward the jury, hoping they would see it as "a white man only getting convicted because a black man is the victim" "But during his closing arguments, [Goodwin's attorney Elmer] Woodard suddenly raised the issue. 'They want you to convict this man because he's white, and DeAndre is a black man,' he told the jury. "The comment drew an objection from [assistant commonwealth's attorney Nina-Alice] Antony, who told the judge she deliberately avoided making the case about race." NAZI PUNKS FUCK OFF

Why can't all white nationalists be as scary as this guy: https://twitter.com/AshAgony/status/991560502810640385?s=19

You gotta admire his determination to be a prick. He refused to be defeated by a sign, and he refused to accept the help of people who pointed out that ripping the un-rippable sign was un-necessary, he just... kept going at it. And upon realization of his utter failure, rather than putting it in the trash where the damned liberals couldn't just pull it back out and use it again, he carried it with him, a trophy of his pitiful triumph over the libtard snowflakes of Seattle. What a trooper.

What a piece of shit.

Funny how all of these fervent members of the "Master Race" end up looking like gross neckbeards.

I wonder how that must have felt
