White guy stabbed black man in interracial couple, cited Trump and hatred of BLM as his reason. Told police he had to be released to go to a Trump rally. The headline on a local news channel:
If we want real change in the status quo we need to push for racial equality as a part of that change. We cannot have a successful transition from capitalism while maintaining an underclass. The struggle for protection from police brutality and the struggle against systemic racism is part and parcel of the overarching struggle to resist and remove the powers that be. Regardless of your race, if you care about the collapse of Capitalism, and you care about the rights of the laborers, you need to care about black folks and their struggle.
Court documents say the suspect, 32 and from Richland, had tattoos that said "Skinhead" and "White Power." A tattoo that said "Hooligan" was draped in a Confederate flag. He told police he was part of a white supremacy group and had come to downtown Olympia because he had heard that the Black Lives Matter movement had left anti-police graffiti downtown. (Graffiti urging violence against police was left in downtown Olympia on Sunday, but police have not blamed Black Lives Matter protesters for the graffiti.) The suspect said he "took a blood oath to fight on the street, and if he was let go tonight, he planned on heading down to the next Donald Trump rally and stomping out more of the Black Lives Matter group," court documents say. He told police several times that he was defending them and that he had their backs. "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. That he is able to fight those fights and will continue the fight against all of the Black Lives Matters people," court documents say.
