At approximately 8:30PM on Tuesday, a black man who was standing outside of a bar in Olympia, Washington was stabbed by a self-proclaimed white supremacist. Now in custody, the suspect Daniel Rowe proclaimed and wore his racism with pride via tattoos that included “Skin Head” and “White Power.” Rowe said he was “taking care” of Black Lives Matter.
The suspect came out of nowhere and charged the black man and his white girlfriend, stabbing the man in the abdomen and grazing the girlfriend. The couple allegedly ran after him, tripped him and he fell onto a car and was knocked out. Rowe told police he had been an inmate at Washington State Penitentiary, and added he ”wanted to attend a Donald Trump rally” to continue “stomping out more of the Black Lives Matter group.”
The staff at KOMONews reports:
According to court documents filed after the incident, the suspect assured officers that he was acting on their behalf.
“At one point he stated that he knew we couldn’t hurt the black groups on the street so he wanted to let us know that he takes care of them for us,” police wrote.
Both injuries to the victims are reported not to be life-threatening — this time.
Stories like this are now commonplace in America. It’s what many feared after hearing Donald Trump open his mouth to spew extreme racism and hatred at the beginning of his campaign. Although, many also believed Trump would fizzle out, here he is — the Republican presidential nominee who is directly and indirectly responsible for inciting countless acts of violence and hate crimes. If there ever was a time for Americans to come out to vote against a presidential candidate, this would be it.
