Another Suspect Charged in Charlottesville Beating of African American
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, another suspect in the brutal beating of a
young African-American man during a white supremacist rally has been
arrested. Thirty-three-year-old Alex Michael Ramos was arrested in
Georgia and charged with malicious wounding for allegedly attacking
anti-racist protester Deandre Harris during the Unite the Right rally in
Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month. Photos and video show at
least six white supremacists punching, kicking and beating Harris with
large metal poles. Later in the broadcast, we'll speak with Deandre
Harris's lawyer and a journalist who witnessed the beating.
