preview

F**k you!’ and I was in complete shock. Are you talking to me?” Cole told the local outlet.“He jumps out the car and he’s charging at us,” she continued. “That was the scariest part for me.”On a Facebook page that was discovered by the , Hamner is featured in photographs taking part in Black Lives Matter protests last summer. He also posted a video he recorded within Seattle’s infamous and deadly CHOP protest area.Then, on March 18 after the Atlanta spa shootings that left six Asian women dead, he lamented the “racial Hate Crimes” on the Facebook page.But a day later, Hamner reportedly cut two Asian women off with his vehicle near a supermarket and then proceeded to block traffic while he screamed profanities at them.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), while also backing Democrat causes. He frequently posted condemnations of white supremacy and anti-Asian hate crimes.Last week, he was charged with one hate crime but pleaded not guilty during his arraignment. His bail was set at $10,000.His lawyer argued during the hearing that Hamner suffers from mental issues and is a Navy veteran who works at the Seattle VA Medical Center.Members of a church he attends spoke on his behalf, pointing that he attends services alongside Asian congregants as well.“He’s chosen to participate in a fellowship that is intentionally multi-ethnic, has Asian members and his pastor is Japanese American,” Peter Heisen of Grace Point Community Church said, as reported by . “Not where you would expect to find somebody accused of a hate crime.”Please help us!
