BLM supporter charged for string of Seattle-area Asian hate crimes washex.am/2O4wpZt
On March 16, Christopher Allen Hamner allegedly threatened Pamela Cole, an Asian American woman, and her two children while they sat at a light, according to court documents obtained by the Washington Examiner.
The 51-year-old reportedly jumped out of his car and yelled, "F--- you, you Asian b----. F--- you!" The mother had been driving her children home from school.
A few days later, Hamner was implicated in a similar incident when he was said to have followed two Asian Americans in their car. Prosecutors said he cut them off and charged at them while yelling obscenities. Some of the victims included children as young as 5 and 10.
The King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said Hamner has been charged with a hate crime for "violent, anti-Asian behavior." He is being held in jail on a $75,000 bond at the time of publishing.
The Washington Examiner reviewed several of Hamner's Facebook videos, and many appear to place the man at a Black Lives Matter march and rally. One video, taken in June, showed him reading signs that read "RACISM IS AN EPIDEMIC" and "CHANGE THE SYSTEM #BLM #NOJUSTICE #NOPEACE."
