UPDATE. On 11/16/19, my friends & I were arrested after being assaulted by white supremacists who were rallying under the flag of neo-Nazi hate group League of the South. My charge was dismissed today on the grounds that I acted "in self-defense of others." 1/
The state had charged me with simple assault (a worse charge than the racists who attacked us, who were given simple affray). They pursued the false charge against me for months until my lawyer subpoenaed their evidence, which proved my innocence. 2/
Before the assaults that day, the racists had hurled the n-word and other epithets at Black counter-protesters. They mocked my late brother (who was killed in a train accident) by blowing train whistles and shouting graphic details of his death over a megaphone. 3/
Despite video proof of my innocence, Pittsboro authorities forced me to appear in court on 12/18, along with the racists who attacked us. Local racist Allan Hall sexually harassed me by making kissing noises at me in the courtroom lobby as League of the South members laughed. 4/
The process is the punishment, and Pittsboro authorities punished me for protesting white supremacy in their town.
