NAACP supports Virginia runner charged with assault over baton incident

zerohedge.com —

The NAACP is supporting Alaila Everett, a Virginia high school runner charged with assault after hitting a competitor with a baton during a relay race. The incident left Kaelen Tucker with a concussion and possible skull fracture. Everett claims the act was accidental, but video evidence suggests otherwise. She and her team were disqualified from the competition, and prosecutors have filed misdemeanor charges against her. Despite the charges, the NAACP argues that the situation is being misrepresented and that Everett's intentions were not malicious. Everett held a rally to assert her innocence, but public opinion remains divided.
