Homeless Man Charged with Hate Crime After Attacking Korean Tourists in Seattle
This is typical behavior from the usually mentally handicapped or drug addicted homeless people in Seattle:
A Seattle man was charged Monday with a hate crime after police say he attacked two Korean tourists on Christmas because of their race, nationality and ancestry.
According to court documents, 30-year-old Aaron Charles Rowe followed a group of Korean men visiting Seattle and attacked two of them near the AMC movie theatre at Pacific Place.
The group told police they hid inside the theater until it closed, but were followed by Rowe when they walked out.
The Korean tourists told police Rowe punched one of them in the back and hit another one in the face. In court documents, they say he yelled, “I hate Chinese,” and “F***ing Chinese” and “Coward” at the group.
The four men were visiting Seattle from California, Missouri and Korea.
Rowe was arrested later that night after stealing two umbrellas from the valet station at the Hyatt Regency and trying to smash a hotel window.
According to the Prosecutor’s Office, this was Rowe’s third booking into the King County Jail this month.
“Visitors to Seattle deserve to feel safe in the heart of our city,” said a spokesperson for the Downtown Seattle Association. “With a string of recent arrests, it’s clear this individual isn’t getting the help he needs. We need to fix a system that is failing both the community and the repeat offender.”
Rowe has had 16 warrants for his arrest since 2016. He was convicted of felony assault in 2004 and 2016. He has nine gross misdemeanor convictions.
When arrested, Rowe told police his address was at a nearby homeless shelter.

Anyone want to make any bets that this guy will be back out on the streets again?
I’m surprised that the left isn’t trying to blame Trump for this man’s problem.
I saw stuff in Seattle that no society should endure.
Even if you are the most liberal snowflake on the Left Coast, accepting junkies eating out of trash cans should not be the diversity you tolerate.
Also, pretty much every serious violent criminal has a string of arrests for smaller crimes for which they spend little to no time in jail. It is time to start identifying these career irritants and removing them from society.
CH, the police know who they are; but the politicalky-connectrd prosecutors think it’s better to give the addicts free needles than free them from their addiction. In the same way, some politicians use crime statistics to help get elected/reelected, and thus don’t want to fix it (like some GOPers with illegal immigration).
