Darius Douglas

Darius Douglas (d. 1944) was the mayor of Hardeeville, South Carolina. As such, he'd overseen the deportation of the town's Negro population to death camps. When the United States Army arrived, Douglas was unrepentent about his role in the Black Holocaust. In response, U.S. Lt. Boris Lavochkin, the senior officer present, shot Douglas in the face. That act helped touch off a massacre in Hardeeville minutes later, as U.S. troops killed nearly every inhabitant of the town.
