THERE HAVE BEEN DEVELOPMENTS IN THE CASE AGAINST ONE OF THE
PEOPLE WHO ASSAULTED A BLACK MAN DURING THE CHARLOTTESVILLE
UNITE THE RIGHT RALLY.
YOU HAVE PROBABLY SEEN THE VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT
PARKING STRUCTURE.
THERE IS A NEW DEVELOPMENT.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT REMEMBER, HERE IS A
TWEET
FROM THAT MOMENT.
THIS IS THE IMAGE THAT REALLY WAS INDELIBLE.
THERE ARE MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO WERE ASSAULTING HIM.
THE MAN'S NAME IS DEANDRE HARRIS WHO IS 20
YEARS OLD, FORMER SPECIAL ED TEACHER WHO WAS AT THE
EVENTS AND GOT CAUGHT UP IN ALL OF THE THINGS.
ONE OF THE MEN WHO BEAT HIM UP IS GOING TO GO TO JAIL.
WHAT YOU GUYS THINK?
GOOD.
IT IS NOT ANY MORE NUANCED THAN THAT.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU SAY?
IT WAS PREMEDITATED.
HE SHOWED UP TO THE PROTEST FULLY GUARDED, READY TO DO
BATTLE.
IT WAS NOT LIKE HE WAS CAUGHT OFF GUARD, THAT HE WAS
TAKEN BY SURPRISE.
THIS PERSON CAME TO DO BUSINESS OF HARMS OTHER PEOPLE, SO
AGAIN, I CANNOT BE ANY MORE NUANCED THAN GOOD.
THAT IS THIS SCREWING YOU GET FOR THE SCREWING YOU DID.
YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT.
HE IS IN MILITIA GEAR AND HE WAS READY TO RIDE AND THAT WAS
A GOOD NIGHT OUT FOR HIM.
HE GOT HIS SHOTS AND IT IS NAUSEATING.
THE JUSTICE SYSTEM WAS ABLE TO COME TO SOME KIND OF MODERATELY
SATISFYING CONCLUSION ON THIS, YOU WISH IT WOULDN'T HAVE
HAPPENED, THAT IS WHY I'M BEING HALTING ABOUT IT.
WHY DID THIS THING HAPPEN?
IS IT WEIRD THAT I AM THINKING, I SEE SO MANY
INCIDENTS OF VIOLENCE WHERE THE PERSON DOES NOT EVEN GET
CHARGES, YES, A LOT OF THE TIMES THAT IS POLICE OFFICERS BUT
NOTHING ENDS UP HAPPENING.
NOW YOUR BLOB ACTUALLY SEEING SOME JUSTICE GETTING DONE.
YOU ARE SEEING IT BECAUSE THERE IS VIDEO OF IT.
IF THIS HAD NOT HAD VIDEO ACCOMPANYING IT, JUSTICE
WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN DONE.
WE DON'T HAVE A GRAPHIC FOR THIS BUT I DID PULL A QUOTE FROM
A WASHINGTON POST ARTICLE ABOUT THE ACTUAL PROCESS OF JUSTICE
GETTING DOLED OUT.
THE JURY WATCHED DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF THE VIDEO FROM
DIFFERENT VANTAGE POINTS.
OTHER MEN JOIN IN HITTING HARRIS WITH A BOARD AND A LONG POLE.
WHEN HE MANAGED TO GET UP THEY YELLED A SENATE IS AT HIM
YELLING GET OUT.
WHEN YOU SEE THE VIDEO, I JUST MEMBER SEEING THERE ARE
SOME OF THE PEOPLE AROUND HERE WHO ARE NOT DISSIPATING, BUT
THERE WERE FOUR OR FIVE OTHER CAMERAS IN EVERY SHOT YOU SEE.
PEOPLE EATING OUT THERE AND YOU ARE THINKING, IF THERE IS
NO JUSTICE BROUGHT OUT AS A RESULT OF THIS, WHERE ARE
WE GOING TO FIND IT?
I AM GLAD IT HAPPENED.
THERE IS MORE.
THE OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED IN THE BEATING, IT HAS
BEEN REPORTED:
BY THE WAY, DEANDRE HARRIS WAS ACTUALLY, THE GUY WHO WAS BEATEN
WAS ACTUALLY ARRESTED AND PUT THROUGH THE LEGAL PROCESS AFTER
BEING ARRESTED AND THE TRIAL, HE WAS ACQUITTED, ALREADY.
THE PROCESS OF JUSTICE CONTINUES FOR THE OTHER PEOPLE, BUT
HIS HAS ALREADY BEEN OPEN AND SHUT QUICKLY.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS, THEY DID NOT KNOW WHO IT WAS.
THEY JUST HAD THE VIDEO AND IT TOOK FROM AUGUST, WHEN THIS
WENT DOWN, TO OCTOBER FOR A WARRANT TO BE ISSUED FOR
THE ARREST OF THE INDIVIDUALS INVOLVED.
THAT IS REASSURING.
IT IS VERY REASSURING AND IT IS INDICATIVE OF HOW PEOPLE,
POSSIBLY HOW THEIR MINDS ARE CHANGING IN REGARD TO THE STORY.
I THINK IT IS BECAUSE SOME OF THIS CAN PLAY OUT IN COURT FOR A
WHILE BUT I AM GLAD THAT PEOPLE ARE REALIZING THE SEVERITY
AND THE DIRE STATE OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS TO TAKE SWIFT JUSTICE.
YOU CAN'T GET AWAY WITH BAD BEHAVIOR ANYMORE AND I
THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE SKATED BY, BE IT
CELEBRITIES, POWERFUL PEOPLE WITH BAD BEHAVIOR.
AND IT JUST PERPETUATES MORE AND MORE OF THAT SO I AM GLAD
THAT THIS IS HAPPENING AND JUST THREE GUYS WATCHING AT
HOME, IT IS NOT A BLACK THING.
IT IS NOT BECAUSE HE IS AFRICAN-AMERICAN THAT I AM
CHAMPIONING THIS.
I WOULD CHAMPION THIS IF IT WAS YOU, OUR PRODUCER, ANYBODY
WHO WOULD FALL PREY TO THIS KIND OF TREATMENT DESERVES THEIR
DAY IN COURT.
THERE IS A WEIRD IRONY HERE AND IT IS THAT AS YOU SAY,
BRETT, THE GUYS, EVERYONE AROUND SEEMS TO HAVE A VIDEO CAMERA.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE THERE RECORDING DIE THINK THAT
WAS A REAL DIFFERENCE MAKER AND ALL THAT BUT THERE ARE NOT
MANY PEOPLE GETTING INVOLVED.
TO BE FAIR, IT IS A VIOLENT SITUATION AND MAYBE NOT
EVERYONE WANTS TO JUMP INTO THAT BUT WE'RE IN A CULTURE NOW
WHERE EVERYONE IS TAKING PICTURES OF EVERYTHING BUT
NOT ACTUALLY STOPPING THESE HEINOUS ACTS OFTEN.
HERE'S THE IRONY, YET WITHOUT THAT CULTURE THAT PRODUCES THOSE
PEOPLE WITH THE VIDEO CAMERAS, WE PROBABLY DON'T CATCH THIS GUY
OR THE OTHER GUY AND THEN THERE IS NO TRIAL AND NO JUSTICE DONE.
SO IN A WAY, IT ALL WORKS TOGETHER, BUT IT IS STILL A
COMMENT ON THE CULTURE TODAY.
A QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED, MONTHS AGO WAS IF YOU HAD SEEN
THIS HAPPENING, JASON, HOW WOULD YOU REACT?
WOULD YOU JUMP IN?
AND I HAD TO THINK, PROBABLY NOT BECAUSE IT IS A HEIGHTENED
SITUATION, BY YOUR FLIGHT RESPONSE, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?
DIED TO?
IT'S FUNNY, NOT FUNNY BUT ACTUALLY ON THE MARK THAT YOU
BRING THAT UP BECAUSE NOW, I GUESS IT IS A PLUS THAT
WE'RE SO TRIGGER-HAPPY WITH OUR CELL PHONES.
YOU ARE DOCUMENTING IT BUT FOR SOME REASON IN A LOT OF
WAYS IT MAKES IT LESS REAL.
IT'S A CLICH….
YOU'RE AT A CONCERT EVERYONE IS WATCHING IT HERE, THEY ARE
NOT WATCHING IT HERE.
TAKING YOU ONE STEP REMOVED, THERE WAS ONE VIDEO THAT I SAW
TODAY OF THE ORIGINAL INCIDENT WHERE THE VIDEOGRAPHER KIND OF
LOSES THE SHOTS BECAUSE HE GOES INTO KICK ONE OF THE GUYS WAS
BEATING UP THE GUY ON THE GROUND, SO YOU ARE JUST GRATEFUL
THAT THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE TO PICK UP ARE YOU LEFT OFF.
DO YOU GUYS THINK OF MORE OF THESE VIDEOS COME OUT, IT
IS GOING TO A ROAD FROM THEIR EFFECTIVENESS THOUGH?
I DON'T THINK SO.
SO MUCH OF THIS HAPPENED IN THE SHADOWS IN THE DARK, AT LEAST
RACIAL VIOLENCE WITH POLICE OFFICERS, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
WE'RE PUSHING FOR IS MORE BODY CAMERAS, MORE DOCUMENTATION.
WE'RE STILL HAVING TROUBLE WITH HAVING THOSE BODY CAMERAS
GETTING MUTED OR TURNED OFF CONVENIENTLY.
THAT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE SO POWERFUL.
I THINK IT IS ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
I THINK IT IS WEIRD THAT IF YOU DO SEE A LOT OF THEM YOU
ARE LIKE JUST ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
IT IS LIKE WITH THE ME TOO MOVEMENT.
AFTER A WHILE YOU ARE LIKE WOW, THAT PERSON WAS INVOLVED IN IT.
YOU CAN SUMMON A NAME LIKE, MAKE SOMEONE UP AND YOU WOULD
WOULDN'T KNOW.
LIKE DYLAN MCDERMID, CAN YOU BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED WITH HIM?
SIR.
I JUST MADE THAT UP.
I WAS LIKE WHO IS THAT?
THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS, IT IS A WAY OF MOVEMENT IN ONE
DIRECTION BUT IT IS TOUGH TO SEE THE DIFFERENCE.
IN THIS CASE IT DID WORK OUT.
