A Seattle Black Lives Matter supporter was arrested on Thursday and charged with multiple hate crimes stemming from at least two separate incidents.

On March 16, Christopher Allen Hamner allegedly threatened Pamela Cole, an Asian American woman, and her two children while they sat at a light, according to court documents obtained by the Washington Examiner. The 51-year-old reportedly jumped out of his car and yelled, “F— you, you Asian b—-. F— you!” The mother had been driving her children home from school.
