Time travel is alive and well. For example, one can go back to mid 20^th century bigotry and hatred in Virginia and find this headline.

Black man attacked by white supremacists in Charlottesville faces felony charge

Yes, it seems that inVirginia anyone an file a police report and then go to a magistrate and get a warrant issued. This particularly applies to white men who attack African Americans and then want the victim prosecuted for, well you know, getting in the way of a fist or a club or a gun.

The black man beaten in a Charlottesville parking garage by white supremacists after a “Unite the Right” rally has been charged with a crime in connection with the incident, even as police continue searching for some of the people who kicked him to the ground and pummeled him.

A local magistrate issued an arrest warrant Monday for DeAndre Harris on a charge of unlawful wounding after a man, identified by Harris’s attorney as Harold Ray Crews, reported that he was injured by the 20-year-old during the August brawl. Crews, who describes himself as a “Southern Nationalist” and an attorney on Twitter, did not return phone calls seeking comment.

But not to worry, Pence and Trumpie will be right on this as soon as they deal with the terrible problem of football players kneeling when the national anthem is played.
