The Virginia teen who was seen bashing an opponent's head with a baton during a high school track meet held a rally of supporters on Thursday to reiterate her innocence.

"Thank y'all for supporting me," Everett said to the supporters, as seen in footage by local Virginia news station WAVY. "There's no one else that wanted to hear my story, except the people that know me and people that know I would never do anything like that, I would never harm anybody. I'm not a fighter, I'm not even confrontational, I wouldn't even do that on purpose, and I thank y'all for believing in me. I love y'all."

Tucker was later diagnosed with a concussion and possible skull fracture, as footage of the incident went viral.
Local community activist Germain Green called for unity from the community in support of the teenager.

"It bothered me to my heart to see how the whole world was dragging this young lady, dragging her character based on what they thought they saw. I just wanted to step up, speak out, and bring unity and let this young lady know that the city of Portsmouth has her back," Green said.

For those who may have not seen the video of this confrontation, Google. It is SO apparent that, despite her argument, it WAS intentional. C'mon! Yet another example of a community/some Media supporting the ATTACKER. The video is complete evidence of the attack - while she was being passed on the track. She absolutely intentionally took the baton and hit the runner as she passed INTENTIONALLY.

Yet, some are supporting her story of 'accidental' as she "lost her balance". BS! grrrrr.

Not surprising that she denies what the video clearly shows or that some would support her. Not surprising but truly a shame.

People are entitled to view a video and hear the accounts of the participants and see it how they see it. I certainly see what I believe to be an intentional strike. I can't really know for sure, but it's what I believe anyway.

I heard on the news this morning that she was charged with misdemeanor assault.
