An interracial couple was attacked after a self-proclaimed white supremacist saw them kissing outside a Washington restaurant, police said.
Daniel Rowe, 32, came up to the African-American man and the white woman and, without a word, started stabbing them, said Olympia police spokeswoman Laura Wohl.
The man, who was stabbed in the hip, was able to tackle the suspect and restrain him on the ground until police arrived. His injuries were minor, as were the woman's.
What kind of shocked me is that this happened in Washington state, the liberal side of the state at that. I'll be blunt. After living in Georgia for a long time and dealing with openly racist people here, I would expect something like that to happen in Georgia. It wouldn't shock me, given the history of the Deep South. Puget Sound, even if there is prejudice there, this is kind of a shock. And Washington state is one of the safer states to live in, with a low murder rate.

This is a bigoted and hateful statement. Take it back please.

There is a small, neo-nazi element in parts of the Pacific Northwest, so I've been told. For someone to randomly attack people based on race, you can bet they are probably part of that movement.
After the attack, Rowe ran off as stunned onlookers dialed 911. The 47-year-old male victim, not realizing how badly he was injured, chased Rowe and “tripped him up,” said Lt. Paul Lower, a police department spokesman. Rowe hit his head on the ground and was knocked unconscious.
Quote:
“He tells them, ‘Yeah, I stabbed them. I’m a white supremacist,'” Lower said. “He begins talking about Donald Trump rallies and attacking people at the Black Lives Matter protest.”
Does anyone feel completely safe around people wih neck tattoos?
