Alex Michael Ramos, one of the men caught on video assaulting DeAndre Harris in a Charlottesville, Va. parking garage during the “Unite the Right” rally on Aug. 12th, turned himself in Monday evening to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office in Forsyth, Georgia.
“CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A man wanted in connection with the beating of a black man in Charlottesville on the day of a white nationalist rally turned himself in to authorities in Georgia and will be extradited to Virginia, officials said.
Alex Michael Ramos, 33, surrendered Monday evening at the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, Sgt. Lawson Bittick told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Ramos faces one count of malicious wounding in the attack on DeAndre Harris, which was captured in photos and video that went viral. The Aug. 12 attack by a group of men left him with a concussion, abrasions and contusions across his body, as well as a head laceration that required staples, a knee injury and a fractured wrist, according to his attorney.
In an interview with Atlanta TV station WGCL, Ramos said that he hit Harris once...”
I chose to link to this AP article because it also refers to the incident that precipitated the attack on DeAndre…
“A member of Harris' group began arguing with a white supremacist over a Confederate flag, Merritt said in a statement. Harris intervened just as the white supremacist attempted to spear his friend with the flag's pole, the statement said.”
Ramos, and the other suspect Daniel Borden, will probably try to use this incident to argue self defense, as there is also video of DeAndre taking a swing at the Confederate flag wielding supremacist who is trying to stab his friend with the flag’s pole. But nothing in that preliminary scuffle approaches the violence done to DeAndre who was swarmed by multiple Nazis after he’d been knocked to the ground…
Ramos claims he is not a racist, just a run of the mill Conservative, but he certainly keeps some questionable company…
Here he is with members of the White Supremacists Group American Guard…
...of whom the Anti Defamation League states:
“Other American Guard members and associates have present or past connections to such white supremacist groups as the Hammerskins, Aryan Nations, the Traditionalist Workers Party and the Atlantic City Skinheads. Some members also have aligned themselves with anti-government groups or movements, such as the Three Percenter wing of the militia movement.”
Ramos was also photographed (along with a Republican Georgia State Senator Michael Williams) at an “anti-Sharia” event with the Georgia III% Security Force…
...of which The Southern Poverty Law Center says...
“The Georgia state chapter is listed by the SPLC as an anti-Muslim hate group, though it also espouses antigovernment rhetoric.”
Good luck with that “just a conservative” defense, Alex.
Personally, I think this imgur poster has it right…
“This Puertorican needs a chancletaso...”
Alex Michael Ramos assisted and supports the white supremacists in the beating of Deandre Harris but says he's not a racist because he's "Spanish". boy....wheres your mom so i can have her fling that chancleta with the force of a thousand waterfalls so hard that it slaps you like Charlie Murphy slapped Rick James. Your ancestors are ashamed.
Now, we gotta find THIS A-hole.
