THE RACIST, MISOGYNIST ATTACKER
THE INNOCENT ASIAN FEMALE VICTIM
Hate crime charges have been filed against a King County man for alleged violent, anti-Asian behavior, the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office said.
Christopher Allen Hamner, 51, was arrested Thursday for allegedly attacking and threatening multiple victims because of their perceived race, court documents show.
Seattle Police say on March 16, Hamner threatened a Pamela Cole, who is Asian American, and her two children while they were stopped in their car at a red light at Martin Luther King Jr. Way South and South Graham Street.
Cole says they were leaving a school event and were at a red light when Hamner made eye contact with her, jumped out of his car and started yelling at her ‘F--- you, you Asian b----. F--- you!'
She says she was in shock and didn't know what to do but then started to worry because she didn't know if he had any weapons on him.
"As a parent, I thought I couldn't protect my kids and that was the worst thing," Cole said.
A few days before the attack, Cole attended a rally at Hing Hay Park against Asian hate and said she knew she couldn't be silent about her attack.
The prosecutor’s office says a few days later, Hamner allegedly targeted two other victims because of their perceived race. According to court documents, he followed the two victims in their car, cut them off in traffic and then got out of his vehicle and charged at them while yelling obscenities.
