I didn't see any man get hit in the head nor can you make out a hammer.
Stop.
The man nearest the camera holding onto the flag ducks out of the way. The blow lands between the two men holding onto the flag. It doesn't look like anyone was hit and if anything was it would have been hands.
We must be watching different videos. The man holding the flag, his head snaps back and to the side rapidly, clearly he was struck in the head. And even if he hadn't been, the intent to severely injure him was clearly there. As for whether it was a hammer or not, it certainly looks like one, but you're right I can't be sure, but either way it was a dangerous object to be swinging at a man's head. There is no defending that action.
But you CAN defend four or five guys beating and kicking one man when he's down?
Gotcha.
Wrong, I didn't defend any of them, I specifically said they should be prosecuted.
Actually, this is what you said ...

I don't know what happened later when he was supposedly attacked 5 on 1, there is no video of that, but if true they all should be prosecuted as well, but Harris certainly deserved to have his head busted open after the despicable action he took first.
"Supposedly" attacked?
Thank goodness you're getting your "wish" ... the perps are being arrested.
Supposedly attacked 5 on 1, funny that you left that last part out. And thank you, you just proved me correct, I clearly stated they should be prosecuted, and I'm glad they are. I do hope justice goes both ways though and Harris is prosecuted as well.
There's ample evidence of the malicious beating of Mr. Harris. There is zero evidence, as you yourself have admitted, of Mr. Harris' attack at this time.
However, if he assaulted anyone, he should be dealt with as the law demands.
There's just zero defense for a group beating down one man who hasn't attacked them first, though. That's just a terrorist act.

he attacked a pole, that was being used as a weapon against someone else... that pole was owned and being held by a white supremacist.

Harris the "victim" in the black jacket with the white stripes in the shoulders, but it's not a knife (I found a better view) it's a Maglight (see pics below) Maglights of this nature are made to beat people with, they can break bones and crack skulls, a lot of LEOs and people in Security carry them.

That is very obvious. You're making things up.

We'll have to disagree on this one. The man's head jerks, like when a basketball grazes the rim, it's an unnatural motion without force being applied. I'm certainly not making things up, as you would like to believe.
